combined with all the failures of early experimentation - I am NOT a profitable trader yet. given algo stays stable - hoping to be in couple weeks, perhaps a month
if I'm a lucky bastard - filthy rich in half a year. gut feels ~ 3% chance

well...
after fiddling for hours - seeing profit factor of 1.5 over six months period was enough to pull the trigger. relatively high trade count is also reassuring. and I already had experimented before so had some thoughts of what to expect
as I see it - you want to go live as soon as possible. and threshold of doing that should be sustainability
when trading lowest possible bets - I'm basically buying insight for couple bucks. aim is a stable system with an actual track record as opposed to couple miracle trades
