MbCheng: Drewster performance since September

Would you happen to know how Drewster performed during the period of September until now?

I was trading Drewster's signals just prior to September and they became so out of sync with the market that by the end of October, I stopped watching them altogether.

Steve, I use Profunds to keep tracking Druster's performance. It's easy and simple. No commission and slippage. The performance is around 100% 2007 YTD whether it's NDX, Russsel 2000, S&P 500, or Mid Cap 400. The only thing I am worry about is that the Signal would not be publicly free-posting forever. Someday it will either charge a high fee or simply disappear when Drew goes to a Hedge Fund.

mb, re qtimer. I saw a post from Drew saying he felt they had made roughly 17% in 2007 using rydex 2X.

Looking at the chart as carefully as possible I feel I see an increase in assets from 110% to 150% or 36%.

What are your thoughts ?

Looking at the historical trades spreadsheet, the big equity drawdowns in 2001, 2002, 2003 seem uncomfortable to me in trusting the trading of "every" signal. I did some adjustments with position size and "cross system" signal agreement algorithms ( in conjunction with others systems that I use ) so the equity drawdowns would be less albeit making it less profitable.
