DislikedI also noticed there were several times where trades were stopped out by 25-30 pips and then turned and went on to profit.
Have you been able to do any backtesting on which method would be the best overall? I assume that since October of '08 that trend following would be, but during more "normal" periods (if there is such a thing)?

DislikedI would like to hear about any possible ideas anyone may have on identifying and filtering out the lower probability trades, which should increase the hitrate and increase the overall profitability of the system.
