No, the PB's are included in those backtest numbers. They can actually mitigate draws in some cases, if a pb cycle has been completed before a max draw.

IE you pocket 5% on a PB then the original signal draws 15% but your real world out of pocket is 15% less 5% = 10%.

Its a tough row to hoe no matter how you slice it. Like i said to free, its one thing for me to look at those numbers with all that spreadsheet in front of me, but another entirely for someone just looking at signals.

I do try to provide past history when and where possible to help.

There was quite the draw when i was in cancun in August but knowing the history it didn't ruin my vaca with worry and turned out, as before, with a profit.

You CAN time the market!

But only after you trash the big 3 myths.

Myth 1 - its possible to get every point of every move
...Myth 2 - you'll never have a drawdown
......Myth 3 - you'll never have a loss
