and years later its obvious that you should have let your system be as it is..
Or even weeks / months later? 🙂
I often have 4 to 6 versions of the same System on Forward Test and it is not often that the forked / improved versions giver continued better results than the original. But the few that do (give better results) make the effort worthwhile.
I look for improvements on all fronts … Gain to Loss Ratio, % of winning trades, drawdown, etc. I would settle for much improved profit at the expense of the other stats … providing trades enter and exit at logical price action points.
What spooks me is profits due to trades sitting there for ever and ever – with big drawdown – but coming up good in the end … good luck which likely will turn bad very soon!?
