After spending a good portion of the weekend crunching numbers and reworking code, I came back to what I had learned many times before. Trading requires a "feel", a "feel" cannot be programmed. After hours of observing visual back tests, I noticed that the EA would make money on all of the "not so obvious" scenarios. On the other hand, it would fail miserably on the "obvious" scenarios. Ironic, and frustrating.

Long story short, I will continue on with trading the new model manually. I promised myself that I would no longer day trade, due to my inability to quell the beast. However, perhaps there is a reason that I'm forced to pursue it once again. Perhaps this is the big man's way of saying... "come on you spineless turd!!! Grow some balls and gitter dun!!!.

So be it.
