i'm not using van tharp's method
but in terms of
backtest and what not... Jan 2nd till August 12th
about 20,000 trades (actually sat through each day of market replay to do backtests)
expectancy is about $13.00 per trade after roughly $1.00 commission per round trip
considering this is market replay and i get generous fills.... if i walk away with $7.00/trade post commission i'll be a happy panda!
