DislikedI STRONGLY RECOMMEND ALL NEW TRADERS TO THIS METHOD DO THEIR OWN DUE DILIGENCE IN TESTING THIS METHOD. DO NOT TAKE MY RESULTS TO BE YOUR OWN...
We all trade differently, have different risk comfort zones, will trade different timeframes, etc.

I always like to think of it in this way: I'm not backtesting the system or the method. I respect james and the others. I know they are not lying. the system works. What I am backtesting is me. I'm the variable between James trading price action and me trading it. So I'm the part that needs to be put through testing, tweaking and improvement.
Every batch of trades I backtest takes another sack of nerves out of the "should I/shouldn't I" dilemma at daily close. Trading shouldn't be nerve wracking. With a well tested system, and an adherence to james16's minimum requirements, it should be boring, predictable... and profitable
