Return on drawdown · what a dollar of pain buys 23.34×

RoDD is the metric this catalog is priced on. Profit factor says the engine works; RoDD says what it costs to hold: net profit divided by the worst peak-to-valley drawdown. This system’s window: $18.1k net ÷ $776 max drawdown = 23.34×. Slide your drawdown budget — the projection scales with it, and so does the pain.

THIN CUSHION The published drawdown is more than half this budget — one bad stretch uses most of your room. A drawdown budget of $1k historically returned ~$23,340 over this window (≈$1,459/mo average).
RECOMMENDED SIZE The smallest budget with a full cushion over the published drawdown. A drawdown budget of $2.5k historically returned ~$58,350 over this window (≈$3,647/mo average).
A drawdown budget of $5k historically returned ~$116,700 over this window (≈$7,294/mo average).
A drawdown budget of $10k historically returned ~$233,400 over this window (≈$14,588/mo average).
A drawdown budget of $25k historically returned ~$583,500 over this window (≈$36,469/mo average).
A drawdown budget of $50k historically returned ~$1,167,000 over this window (≈$72,938/mo average).

Daily results calendar

Awaiting daily P&L export — each trading day fills green or red with its result.

What separates this strategy
  • Every position opens and closes inside the same session — nothing held overnight.
  • PF 1.96 across 850 trades: the highest-PF book.

All performance figures are backtested or validation-run results shown with commissions and slippage modeled, on the stated window. Backtested performance is hypothetical, does not represent live trading results, and is not a guarantee or projection of future returns. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Nothing on this site is financial advice. Access provides the strategy tool only; you are responsible for your own trading decisions.
