Semar has a thread re a benchmark trading system. (See the link in Similar Threads at bottom of page). I have been wondering about this recently. Do you use a benchmark to evaluate your trading performance. If I was a stock trader I could perhaps use the performance of the S&P 500 as a benchmark of how well I was doing. Do any of you use any benchmarks for your Forex acct. Maybe T-Bills? Maybe you could elaborate on why the particular benchmark is meaningful.
I have simply been using the rise or fall of my equity, but am starting to think that this may not be the best way to judge the performance of my trading.

In trading, there is no bullshit. You either make money or you don't.
