Greetings --
It appears that some of the trades overlap. Monte Carlo analysis depends on data points being independent, which is not the case when trades are overlapping. The result will be overly optimistic -- risk will be underestimated and profit potential overestimated.
The trade list shows some large individual trade losses. A Monte Carlo analysis will show that when two or more of those occur close together the drawdown will exceed the tolerance of most traders.
Best,
Howard
