I have spent last 6 to 8 months adding to my auto trade arsenal. Anyone who thinks trading is easy money it is not. Strategy development and testing is tedious on a good day but the end product can be very lucrative. I am almost ready to turn some new stuff into the wild and look forward to what it will bring in additional to my tried and true strategies in 2013. A few more tests and tweaks to go but 8 months work about to payoff.

I won't say good luck to all trading in 2013 but I will say good probabilities for lack of a better way to say it.

"The day I became a winning trader was the day it became boring. Daily losses no longer bother me and daily wins no longer excited me. Took years of pain and busting a few accounts before finally got my mind right. I survived the darkness within and now just chillax and let my black box do the work."

I think the probabilities favor it if recent trends are any indication. Of course past performance does not guarantee future results.

May the probabilities be ever in your favor......

Thanks @PandaWarrior same to you. You are 100% right no guarantees. One good thing about my strats is if trend gets weak or volatility low my equity curve tends to go flat as opposed to big losses. I think that is a real key. It is not always what you make it is what you don't lose that ultimately makes or breaks a trader. Hoping for strong trends and nice volatility in 2013. Funny how average person (investor) can't stand volatility but traders for the most part need it and love it.
