VERY GOOD Statement!
Why everybody does backtests with MM on (increasing Lotsize...)?
Why everybody does optimization only with balance graph?
Easy answer: Most people do not know what information a backtest will give or they donīt want to think about it.
As you said, itīs easier to look at the billion dollar picture and dream than to think!
