Are the middle 90% of your trades making or losing money. If the middle 90% are losing money, then you will need to be reviewing the performance of all your trades.
Are the profits from the top 5% of trades compensating for the losses on the bottom 5% of trades?If they are not, then you will need to pay specific attention to your large losing trades. They may not happen frequently but they can often be a large contributor to overall losses.
