    What’s an acceptable max DD for a strategy?

    The right balance is the one your risk tolerance can live with. 50% return with 20% drawdown IMHO is reasonable. You may find that 40% drawdown to achieve 100% could be quite high and may cause someone to pull the plug during such time. The key is to be realistic in terms of thinking through...

    Partial Fills by a CTA

    RTrader also as a way to allocate on % basis to certain accounts, but the issue is on partial fills. IMHO, the key is to develop a pattern where you show consistency in allocation when it comes to partial fills. For example, lowest account to highest or some sort of pattern. Another...
