Congrats Erasmus!

I realized only today that this was wrap up of your yesterdays trading!

I thought that it was result of your backtest, but no, you went live. Great stuff! What were the feelings during session, just putting trades on and taking wins and losses and focusing?

Great dedication that deviation table. It will surely help to fine tune live entries. Maybe weekly post on that at least for yourself so you can better adjust if needed?

I have done this in the past : around 60% has been a typical result for me - "must try harder"

yes it's a great feedback loop jt .. record what you think should have happened and contrast to what actually happens. Like you say use the data as leverage to improve

great to see you haven't left up grasshopper(JT) focus and commitment to put them on is the key to the results. when you realize you will be right 75% of the time why not just PUT THEM ON
