A 
complex topic where not everyone believes the same thing.  If you 
believe that there is a correlation between trades i.e. that winners beget 
winners or winners beget losers, then MC isn't for you.  If you believe all 
trades are randomly distributed, and statistically its hard to go past that, 
even though intuitively it might not always seem so, then MC is a big help for 
traders of 1 or multiple systems on 1 or  multiple markets. What it will 
help do is quantify the risk profile for a trader.  It will help you decide 
how much to risk and how much capital is needed for you to remain within certain 
drawdown parameters with a certain confidence limit. So for ample a trader may 
wish to stay within a 30% drawdown with 99% confidence.  MC will hep you do 
that if you have a database of trades.
