Using TradeSim - analyzing the Tactical Trading method

The web site www.tactrade.com presents a method that is a mixture of indicators and discretionary methods.  Each day there is a summary of the trades for the day.  Taking the trades from 2 months in the summer of 2001 there are 252 trades.  The probability of a winning trade is 64% and the average profit expectancy is $78.64 per trade.  Here are the results for a $6,000 initial equity with commissions included.

The whole ending equity curve shows a strong profit after commissions.

Drawdown is also small even with a small initial equity.

Comparison with trades from later dates is very consistent with the results shown here.  This is a method which consistently performs day after day. Be aware that this is not a purely mechanical system.
