I understand what you are saying.Using my 6/50 EMA bull bear override it should markedly improve the downdraw.It just needs to be tested.Plus the return improves.Reported as 1 x returns(48.82 % average annual return in last 10 years)
The biggest 1X drawdown for any of the systems I have been working on is 37% in October 1987 which finished with a loss of around 24%. It was quickly made up in the next few months.
