[Metastockusers] Trading equity curve

Trading Reference Links


The idea is not new to the market however maybe unknown to some users 
of this group:

- plot SMA 30 days on your system's equity curve;
- if equity curve crosses SMA from above stop trading or decrease 
your risk by downsizing your betsize (for example risk only 1% of 
your equity instead of usual 3% when you use fixed fractional 
pisition sizing method)
- start trading again or resume your 3% betsizing once equity curve 
crosses SMA from the bottom.

My experience indicates changing the betsize down as a much better 
solution in aforesaid case. 
Anyway I tried to test the first solution i.e. breaking my trading if 
equity curve stays under its SMA. The problem is how to test such 
method efficiently in Metastock?
Or rather how to force Metastock's system tester code to filter trade 
triggers depending on equity curve position?

Any suggestion would be apprecited
