I tried more and more time, until realized that i can't have the choice to trade from home.
If i have it, i trade too much.
Now i am happy with Mfglobal and the old stlyle telephone trading , once per day.
You know: i pay more in commissions, but i have saved more anyway.

Cagr, Max DD, Longest DD.
These are The numbers, mixing them can't change results.

> I think the largest DD is something that needs to be prepared for, and not try to fool ourselves by optimizing it away....

Would you like to tell me more on this?
Are you saying that worst DD is not given by % risk ?
