    Ok "i will do it". Truth hurts, but there is 100% chance you will not do it tomorrow, or in one year and probably never. Your sarcarstic "Lol" when someone tells you the truth shows that road would be long, really long for you. You are still at stage 1.
    In my case, I have made money for a long time, I make money, I will make money.
    My trading plan and rules are successful, and I am disciplined.
    Btw, I would probably not help any more wannabe traders here like you.
    People don't want to learn. They just want to complain or dream about unrealistic goals.

    Sample size in backtesting, yes. last back test I did on recent automate system I been scalping past 6 years, each signal had over 20,000 sample size and had 12 signals going back ten years of tick data. Let me ask you this, if you plan to go on vacation for a month to different countries or one country, do you spend year looking for where you want to explore? If there is a business you want to start, do you start 1-5 years beforehand to get research? So why does 3,000 sound so much for people? What it is comes down to money too easy to make as people just want to say they want to make it, but they lose it so easily. I know more about my systems than what makes my car run or next vacation or business, but I am researching these others to gain knowledge.
