Tom,

 

This system to me still had to much draw down

If you have 100k in it and loose 34k  to me that is not acceptable,  would you stay with this if this worked out this way?

Mark,

I backtested from 1/1/2000 to 4/6/2006.

 

Thanks,

Tom

Oh
Forgot to ask
What time frame are you testing this?

1999-2003?  Or 2003-2006?

That makes a difference too, if you get large draw down during an up market
then there are even bigger issues I would think with the system

I have these results with my formula. However, the Max trade
Drawdown is 34.98%. Is this a good result? Since I trade hold only 4
postitions at once and use max 25% of equity per position, it is a
very agressive formula. I could reduce the exposure but my annual
return is less.
