The question is: what's your system's worst drawdown? Check my DAX system http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=169516 It has average daily profit per contract ~ 17 points.

Take a look at this program http://iasg.pertrac2000.com/SnapshotPT.asp?ID=454 Dynex Corp Tetra High Beta Currency Portfolio Average Annual Return from the last 7 years: 144%. Very impressive.

What do you have against statistics? It's just a tool - imperfect, of course. Can be useful. Ask quant traders... At least some of them make money :D

Here http://www.cbot.com/cbot/docs/29062.pdf you can find a chart "Potential Impact of Managed Futures on Traditional Portfolio Jan 1980 - Dec 2001". It shows that adding Managed Futures into a portfolio can result in a higher return with smaller risk. Is it harder for hedge funds to make...
