Am I Just Getting Lucky?

Feedback in:

Michael,

As my account is still small (although up 150% so far) I find that I’m trading a lot. I get signals every day and in 3 months have made 185 (counting opening only). I find my self getting stopped out of trades because I can’t take a full position and then getting back in when the market comes back.

I’m not going more than 2 units per trade and 5 units per sector on [entry and] out 2 ATR 2% unit model.

So it’s going well and I’m excited about that but want to make sure I’m not just getting really lucky as opposed to implementing a life changing trading strategy.

Regards,
Jordan
