1. If he has specific set of rules different from the described above? This is not a simple question as he might have an unconscious competence due to long experience, something that is non-transferable ("discrete part of the system")
2. Is this system sound? Number of pips means (sorry) nothing, I found here an example of a system that "gives" several hundred of pips a day, day after day (some kind of a basket trade). For a first sight it is a great system. But looking closer - large DD prevents me to put any serious money there. And there is more - I believe no trader using it live with a large account will stay sane due to amount of stress related to (medium to large) losing positions every day closed for a small profit. It is manageable (through a different MM), but question of stress and unnecessary risk remains. And there is only a tip on an iceberg here..
