It seems a long time since comments were made. How are we all doing? Live trading? Demo Accounting? Playing ATM poker and not speaking?

A few posts ago Anton noted back-tests work but live/demo trades don't. so far I agree. I have back-tested  many scenarios but when I take my best one to demo account, I loose - so far 20% down.

To gain experience of the ATM I have stuck to one pair. Many times I see the trade heading to the S/L and want to intervene but let it ride to check my interpretation.  

I have also tried the EMA trend filters but so far they give me a poorer result.

I find it hard (impossible) to get a set of variables to provide 5/1 consec wins along with a profit factor above 1.5 (1.57) and with low draw-downs. My DD's rise up to 13%. (but the NP is pretty good (huge), if only it wasn't a back-test!) )

Anyone willing to discuss further??
