Thx I use 0.2 slippage and 0.4 commission on the S&P500. I'm not sure that this is a true reflexion tho. Looks too small on the trading page. Hope Carl is giving you something for your advertising ?

Oh dear The drawdown on your figures is - well getting a bit big see your post Monday Jan 26th profit $8,897.50 I make that a $4,000 drawdown in 2 weeks ??
After the drop in October I was down $10k. Note that I'm doing this exercise based on a 'raw' timing signal. No stops, no additional strategies. The bottom line is that you have to have the appropriate risk capital to match the strategy. No argument there. If you are able to make 40% plus per annum on your risk capital then you are a brilliant trader. What kind of returns do you make? Regards, James
