I've started taking an additional step, at least for the SP. For
historical testing *only*, I tell it to trade more contracts in the past
when volatility was lower. I use xx/xaverage(truerange,300) for daily
data but other formulas work too. What that does is put historical
drawdowns in "today's dollars." So, a big percent drawdown 10 years ago
doesn't get lost due to the fact that the price was so much lower.
