DT,

Optimal means different things to different people.

To me it means highest MAR = CAR / MDD.

However, it also means the ability to perform in good markets as well 
as bad.  If you notice the MDD's happen during the largest bear 
market rally that occured since 1/2000 and they are sizable.  I 
suggest you widen the view to include from 8/98 forward and you'll 
see why IMHO there is no point in optimizing a system over the last 3 
years which is virtually all bear market with some intervening 
rallies.  If the current market suddenly became like that of the late 
nineties it's the out of sample performance prior to 1/2000 that you 
could expect and you'd be out of money in a hurry, wouldn't you ?
