FYI the DD of this system, EA, can be lowered, however the return would be lower, however the equity curve would also be smoother.
For $500 starting cap. I think of 80% DD as pretty acceptable.
For 50,000 starting cap, it's excessive.
For 500,000 maybe 20% max DD for me. For others and 500,000 starting cap, only 10% DD may be acceptable.
It all depends on your appetite for risk and your expected potential return.
I could run the same EA with risk lowered to 10% DD and 2x to 3x return in year, and there would be interest from investors, but don't want investors. EA is not for sale or intended for use by general public.
