Hi Guys,
As 2009 had the lowest gain and 2016 had the largest DD in the backtest running SFE Evolution FX at 100% Risk, I decided to do a few more backtests checking what would happen if I used SFE Evolution FX at 50% risk and 25% risk for those 2 years.

To my surprise, the DD would actually be less in 2016 than in 2009 if you run the EA either at 50% or 25% Risk. And running at 50% risk you would still make 160% gain in 2009 and up to 6750% gain in 2016, with the DD being just around 20%. If you run SFE Evolution FX at 25% Risk then the gain and DD would be both be much less (DD was only about 10% but growth was also only 1/10 that of 2016).
So it appears to me that 50% Risk probably gives the best balance for risk and reward, which will probably be the risk I would recommend people to use going forward (ie. change the risk multiplier to 0.5x risk).
However, I do believe the next big gain should be imminent (SFE PA official account has be in DD for about 2 months now), so I will keep most of my funds in the $70K account until that next big gain happens. Once we have caught the next big gain then I will move some of the profits into the 50% risk account in order to preserve capital during the next DD/stagnation period.
People can obviously use 25% risk as well if they want to keep the DD low, but it may not be worth the time and effort unless you have a very large account to be trading with.
You can see the new backtest results attached to this post.
