The system was doing well before I joined. In fact it was doing so well and the equity curve looked perfect. So I decided to give it a try. Soon after I joined, it started to go South as evidenced by the sharp downward slope on the equity curve. And this is just the beginning, it seem it is gathering the momentum to go down further. In fact it is happening to me more the once that most systems were doing well and after I joined, it start to behave differently. They are trying to prove to me that the warning on the risk of trading futures on every page is valid that you are likely to loose money. It's tough making money trading futures. I wonder how successful are people trading for a living?
