for your system to work for 10 years first an easy check for you to do is see if it works on every time frame
a 1 min chart folllows exactly the same twist and turns and waves as a daily chart ,periods of trends consolidation and rangy stuff, just that the 1 minute does this all in one day and the daily can do it over a period of a month.
if a system only works on a 30 min chart for instance then theres something wrong with it.
my method of trading is looking for a 4 hour top or bottom and confirming its is the top or bottom by a 30 min higher low/ lower high i use stochs to identify the 4 hour tops and bottoms in the first place.
Now i could quite easily do this with a 5 min chart and look for the trigger on a 1 min or a weekly chart with trigger on daily they alll work alll time frames. so with this knowledge i know that i can trade this system profitably for many years to come.
