Dingo,

Statistical information is not fixed by the format of graphical 
representation.  Statistics which show a 10% or a 5% DD depending on 
where the trading start point is in time in my my view are just plain 
not accurate.  If you build, test and optimize a system based on 
fixed dollar amounts and the results say that the largest DD that 
occurs is halfway along in time and that DD is 5% then if you decide 
to start trading this sytem tomorrow then what DD can you reasonably 
expect without knowing that your system has blown up ?  I think the 
answer is you don't really know because the DD is not based on the 
amount invested but on the account balance.

Look at Steve's charts.  The fully compounded system says there is a 
max dd of 32%, the fixed dollar amount says there's a max dd of 
something significantly less then that.  If you start trading this 
system tomorrow with fixed dollars what dd can you expect ?
