If you can easily develop a system that makes 121R in a YEAR, then why don't most people make 100% each year?
The answer to that question is simple. PEOPLE MAKE LOTS OF MISTAKES. I define a mistake as not following your rules and if you don't have a business plan or written trading rules then everything is a mistake.

So here is how it works. Let say each mistake is worth 2R. Suppose you make 1 mistake each week. In a years time, you make 104R worth of mistakes. If your system only makes 121R - then because of mistakes you only make 17R. And most people, during a large drawdown, usually abandon the system totally and think they cannot trade it.

With that in mind, my whole Peak Performance Program is designed to teach people how to avoid repeating mistakes. And if you keep making the SAME mistakes, then that's what I call self sabotage. But that's another story.
