ops:

Nothing like a robust discussion.

The "system" had a terrible day today getting stopped out at -$46.08 (it only barely got into the black today). Letting it go lost -$63.42 for the whole day's betting (at $5 a pop).

So after 8 days stopping at $25 = +$124 (7 winning days & 1 losing day)
Letting it go after 8 days -$19 (4 winning & 4 losing days)

This sort of shows the system, when letting it ride, isn't much chop while stopping it while in profit is currently in front by another 2 1/2 bad days ($50 trailing stop) but still not much chop.
