Equity curve of FTSE system.

[TWI]

Here is the equity curve for a FTSE system I have been running.
It has performed like this in real-time and there is no curve fitting, system is too simple for that.
It is based on just 1 lot either long/short or flat.

Has anybody got anything that is close or better than this?

It is not for sale either, well, not until I retire.

Nice flat equity curve. How many trades did that take - ie what is the average trade (W or L)?
What do you allow for slippage/commissions and what is the ratio of average trade / execution costs? Is it a daytrade system?

Questions questions I know.....

10-june to today it took 43 trades
Av, winner £210 Av loser £80 largest looser $120 largest win £450
Av overall £80/trade
Slippage is not too much of an issue as all entry and exit order levels are known ahead of time so placed as limit and stop orders. A tick is about as bad as it gets.
Costs are £1.50/round trip which is more than I pay.
It is a day trade system

I'm impressed, especially if it holds up in actual trading!
When I get an equity curve as flat as that it generally means that the the average trade is too small to be trustable.
Fancy sending me some 1min data and I'll have a bash and see if I can match it?!!
