  2. You can do a hypothesis test to see the probability of obtaining the same results due to luck. This would tell you a lot about the edge and the robustness the strategy might have. from personal experience, which is not much, i can tell you that equity curve does look too good to be true, but i can be wrong. However, the hypothesis test will be able to tell you much more than anyone on ET. good luck!

    Do not trade a system with real money ( or at least with big money) until you are comfortable with the fluctuation of its equity curve . A thouroughly tested strategy may boost your confidence .
