The consequences of giving away the holy grail

Intramonth should be even worse.The worst DD was - 50%.With merely 2% of profit,add on latency,comms,slippage,etc...your bumed!
 
The superstars i know of do 20 to 40% - (after all fees and coms deducted) with the worst INTERMONTH DD of 7.5% having hard times to raise capital.The do but very slow.
 
Now DAX

You use a starting capital of say 20,000 per instrument , your drawdown is based on initial investment .

if on the first days of trading the formula loses 3,000 ticks out of 20,000 ,the drawdown is 15%.

700 ticks on a 20,000 tick account is 3.5%

These exclude mistakes , execution errors , slippage , no fills etc but include spreads.Our slippage is minimal , because we trade manually on tickets.

15% is still a lot.The reward doesn`t worth taking the risk.Your worst DD more then 50%.What % of losing months in your sample(i don`t want to calculate,but think it`s close to 50%)?Plus your making very tiny profit(when/if) - 2%.What do you offer investors(if it ever happens) after 2/20 deducted?That`s bs.

I will check it out

I can assure you , according to mental arithmetic of my system , drawdown is no more than 10% , the reward is about 40% , it is not brilliant but it is ok
 
I ddon`t know what mental arithmetics is.Drawdown no more than 10% and the reward is about 40% is brilliant but it`s not your case.

You`d also need a sample from at least 2008 onwards,preferably from 2004,and to reduce the risk.Plus the quality data you`d need is only in posession of a few large institutionals(worldwide),which i doubt you have it.Sad,really?But it is what it is.Go try it.

here chart with drawdown periods with arrow , but this does not include relative intraday drawdowns.

Maybe it is not going to work , I am giving all effort now

Most of 2008 was a bad flat choppy year , then it picked up towards November and December , it returned 3,000 ticks .I already sampled it.This formula relies on high premiums sold , it dies on low premium instruments like fx . So if premium low , don't trade.

BTW Thanks for your time , I was wound up with 80% drawdown that you mentioned.sorry
