 Mark, 
I backtested this year by year. Starting each year 
with 100,000. 
Here are the results. 
Year 2000    Annual return = 
51.2%  Max system drawdown = 34.98        
    Profit = 50440 
Year 2001    Annual return = 
7.22%  Max system drawdown = 31.30        
    Profit = 7181 
Year 2002    Annual return = 
-4.47%  Max system drawdown = 28.91        
    Loss = 4446 
Year 2003    Annual return = 
64.30%  Max system drawdown = 
19.22          Profit = 
63851 
Year 2004    Annual return = 
48.68%  Max system drawdown = 
10.03          Profit = 
48518 
Year 2005    Annual return = 
-7.20%  Max system drawdown = 
22.17             
Loss = 7126  
Year 2006    Annual return = 
92.82%  Max system drawdown = 3.78        
    Profit = 29934 
  
Total profit = 188,354  
If you don't count this year the average would be 
31684 per year. 
  
Just thought that it was interesting.

  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

  [amibroker] Re: Is this a good 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.
