HI Walter,

My immediate answer to your question is to try trading one setup and see how you do for one month, compared with trading three setups. Because I don't know what you trade or your success rate, I am likely speaking too generally to you and I don't mean in any way to give an off the cuff answer that would diminish your profits. However, I have coached over 600 traders and many of them do well year after year trading the same setup and doing it so well that it really is entrained. Stuff can happen, however- the market changes, program trading comes in, etc, that may force you to change this. However, if you are stressed to the extent that you appear to be during trading I do suggest you simplify and make it easier on yourself. If you don't feel good immediately about going to one system, try reducing to two and see over the month what your equity curve looks like. If you woud like a copy of the full paper, please send your e-mail address to: janice@thetradingdoctor.c om.

Thanks!
Janice
Thanks Janice for that advice.... and yes I think I am more confortable on the one setup scheme, what happens is that sometimes I get kind of curios about new methods and I love to experiment new things... now I had always been profitable on my old one unique method... so I asume that one is "entrained"... thanks for this valuable information ¡¡ cheers Walter.
