Fred,

Keep on posting. I am sure there are others like me who do not need 
to know the secret of your formula in order to learn some things 
from your posts. For example, it is an eye opener to learn that it 
is possible to design a system that gives gains in the range of 
100%/year with only about 3% Draw Downs. Up till now I had not 
thought it was possible to have a yearly return that is 33 times the 
Draw Down -- assuming I understood your posts properly.  Here are a 
few questions: answer the ones that appeal to you.

1. How many of the 100 plus trades are back test results and how 
many are "forward" test results from paper trading and how many 
are "foward" tests using real money?

2. How was the 3% DD calculated? Is that the maximum loss on a 
single trade? Is peak to trough DD larger than 3% (if one gets 3 or 
4 bad trades in a row). 

3. Without revealing your secret, can you tell what general approach 
was taken to get the DD so low? I assume it involves setting tight 
stops in combination with an outstanding entry setup. 

Thank you for what you choose to share.
