It is important to understand that reported drawdown was based on loosing trades only, and that means that if a trade was profitable when it was closed, but it had a loss while it was opened (because of natural contractions of the market), that loss would not be reported by our drawdown calculations! Real drawdown is always higher by 3-5%, so readers should know this.

System made very good profits this month also – 14.87%! Maximum drawdown is based only on losing trades ie. If winning position had a one time loss of 5%, it would not be reported buy our platform. But if it was exited with a loss of 5%, that would increase final drawdown figure. As a result one should not pay to much attention to this figure, because it is not reliable. Real drawdown is usually higher by 3-5% at least.

In February 2011, system made a profit of 14.87% with a -3.04% drawdown. First chart below shows daily profit and loss made during this month. 

As it can be seen from the chart, largest daily loss was -2.12% and largest daily gain was 4.56%.

This is one of the systems we developed in recent years. It is short only system which trades highly liquid stocks and ETFs. During backtesting and forward testing it showed very good results in bull and bear market. All results here are simulated results and do not include commission costs (which can vary) and possibility that some stocks are hard to borrow sometimes. It use 2:1 leverage. All position are held overnight.

In January 2011, we started with a $10,000 of capital, which is in our opinion enough to sustain some drawdowns if they happen in the beginning of the trading. 

In January 2011 system made a profit of 23.57% with a drawdown of only -2.04%.

At the end of January 2011 this system made $2,357 and finished a month with a balance of $12,357.
