That's why I said it was the most difficult part of the system :-) 
When I couldn't sleep at night, I just ran a backtest again, and compared the current market conditions with historical conditions with similar drawdowns.
That helped me breathe and relax!

Mark,

40% MDD?

I would be up all night with that

To me that is not a trading system that I could live with, more of a hope and pray type of system

My strategy is dip buying. When the market is bullish, buy strong stocks when they dip steeply and sell them when they rise.

The secret is to use time stops (5-8 days) to let your capital work harder for you.

The most difficult part is to sit tight when market is not good and also stomach the drawdown up to 40%.

Backtest helps a lot to pull the trigger when you are down 40%.

But you should know that software are just tools and not money printing machines. It is what between your ears matters.

I own Amibroker software, and have the latest version (standard). I
also have Metastock, Vectorvest and some other software. But I am
sorry to say that Amibroker is the only software I ever bought that I
did not study up on. I understand that most of the users are very
pleased with it from looking at this forum. Most of the postings are
of a technical nature, with questions as how to understand and use the
software. But I don't recall seeing postings from people noting their
success in using the software. Have any of you had great/good/fair
success in using it? Have you made a lot/some/little money with it?
Maybe some of your positive comments will give me a kick in the ass,
and I'll start on the 800 page manual.

Thanks

Fred
