Thanks jcl.

Big Picture #1: Yes, I understand your comments re. statistics & safety. I understand this is not at all "set and forget". I attempt to monitor at least daily - hopefully that will be enough so I won't get burned... Have come too close for my tastes already... frown

Big Picture #2: CR is from backtest using the given Margin & Risk settings. If Trade and Test function the same, then those Margin & Risk settings should have produced during Test trade(s) with the same displayed "risk". Evidently the Test never closed such a trade at the worst possible point, hence that risk was never realized, hence CR is smaller than if it had been. However, in real Trading that could happen which would in fact lead to margin call if the system is started with no more than the Tested CR. Is that the correct way to view/understand Test vs. Trade?

Thanks.
