As [USER=33203]@MovingAverage[/USER] posted his equity curve from April 2020 to the present (which looks amazing by the way) & [USER=17857]@qldfrog[/USER] from May 2020 to the present has motivated me to post my equity cure.

Disclaimer
The equity curve in the next post is my combined equity curve. The equity curve is a combination of 9 strategies that I trade (an equity curve average) rather than posting individual results for the last Calendar & Financial year. Because of the Covid-19 flash crash, skewing the equity curves & results I've included both the Calendar & Financial year.

The Covid flash crash affected my trading in more ways than one
Pain tends to focus me & the financial pain resulting from the Covid crash was excruciating - even though it's not that evident by the 2020 equity curve.

Backtesting means JACK
Without getting into another exchange, I want to re-stated that (IMHO), Amibroker backtest results mean "Jack" & hold little interest in assessing the true performance of a strategy. I'm first to admit that they do give an indication if the methodology behind the strategy being backtested is sound or not.

Actual trading results
Results from live trading are the "true measure" of your trading strategy as it confirms if your "trading plan" is solid.
