2/1 is great though, because you only need the 50% win rate... and 50/50 patterns are everywhere..

There's some narrative which goes with those pics http://www.nobrainertrades.com/2010/...placement.html

Can't say I've ever subscribed to the idea of optimization using historical data, these things get tweaked to the nth degree to look good on paper but when it comes to real time they don't produce anywhere near the same results.

As the author pointed out it's also very much strategy dependent, as well as market dependent of course, you can only have what the market offers.
