I know professional traders who've been trading much longer than you've been toilet trained and they don't make 200+%. It's not a special model you found, and the fact is, you're looking for certain criteria before you enter a trade and count on only losing R but possibly on a winner making 3-4 X R. So it's nice you made 200% in 2 months, but talk to me in a year from now, you may have gotten 1 or 2 lucky picks, but with your model I don't see you consistenly doing it.
