If you don not mind me asking, what has been the max. d/d during this period? That equity curve sure looks like you are pyrimading/martingaling to me...

Also, my (meagre) research seems to indicate that the magnitude of the volatility-based swings that kill accounts is continuing to increase, so whatever 'bump' your strategy hit, will only be bigger in the future - probably enough to tip it over the edge...

But I think even you must admit that the equity curve is one of a high-risk strategy - so why would anyone in their right minds invest $50k in it...
