"Using this algorithm without leverage in a long/short 100% equity strategy has generated a 25.67% annualized return since inception (January 2006) with a Sharpe ratio of 2.29 and a max monthly drawdown of -5.22% in one of the most challenging market environments ever. The risk component has only been at current levels (or higher) twice in the last 5 years. The first instance was September 24th, 2007 at S&P 1526. Just shy of the all-time high and prior to a multi-month decline of almost 20%. The second instance was January 5th, 2009 at S&P 890. We had rallied 11% off the October 2008 lows and we all know what happened next. The market took a nose dive down to the March 2009 lows for an epic two month collapse of 25%."
