yup, i definetly agree with you ....
this EA is one of my fav,... I keep trying to find / modify this EA to minimize DD possibility. that's why i'm using minimal deposit to test it's strength.
one could survive through worst period and started with minimal deposit, it would be perfect for any time you run it, CMIIW.

basically, big DD could be reduced if EA stop to place buy orders just before trend is going down for so long (could be more than 2 days) and not giving any chance to reverse , vice versa.

many EAs try to combine time to trading with correlative news, perhaps the same idea could minimize relative DD for this EA.
