Here, how about this one?

Here's the same run, zoomed in on a portion. It doesn't look as dramatic as the above one which poses another issue i guess.

No one has any comments about my charts?

Probably most people here have read WOTT where he makes the point that (using your graph above):
"...parameter 29 represents a better value to trade but one where the future actual trading results probably will be worse than that indicated by historical test."

His graphs are a lot smoother than mine though!
