I started out in trading early 2005 through managed funds.
November 2005 started in stocks through fundamental analysis.
After the 2006 May correction I learnt to use stops!
A few months afterwards I read Michael Covel's book and it was a real eye opener for me into what can be achieved through mechanical systems trading.
In 2009 I started looking seriously at short term automated trading through AmiBroker/IB as this would allow for all the benefits of short term trading (smoother equity curve, faster recovery from drawdowns, etc) without the associated screen time.

Looking good, 20% DD is high but that can be worked on. Loving the low exposure, keep it up!

Brad,
Thanks for dropping by.
Yes I am aware of the drawdown but its very hard to find a strategy with max.DD below 2%. If you find one - let me know!
Low exposure was the main driver (objective function) behind this system as I didn't want to hold overnight when trading CFDs.
Nizar.
