Well, as long as you make money with your system, it works for you. That’s the final judgement.
Stable mediocrity means for me : Be happy with average gains, as long as they drop in quite regularly. Do not dream of becoming a millionaire within months by writing and (re-)optimizing brilliant backtests, it has never worked (for me).
This is just my personal advice to anyone reading here, newbie or not. From time to time, there may be born geniuses, but I am none.
