Discretionary Trading - Update

I am still testing and evaluating possible techniques to trade, so I have not gone "live" yet.  I am struggling with a couple of things right now:

1.  How much historical testing should I do?

2.  How much discretion should I build into the system?

I have thought a lot about these topics, but I still don't have solid answers to these questions.

I suspect I am not alone in this regard.  So, I have created a survey for all readers.  It is simple, anonymous and only 3 questions long.  I will share results in a week or so with everyone who takes the survey.  I think it will be a big help to all of us.

Thanks in advance!
