There is a substantial risk of loss in trading. You should therefore carefully consider
whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. You should read,
understand, and consider the Risk Disclosure Statement that is provided by your broker
before you consider trading. Most people who trade lose money.
Draw downs are all relative. For a new investor with only $10K to his name, a $1K draw is a disaster. For a sophisticated, wealthy investor, a $100k draw may be no big deal.
To answer your main question, I think there is no demand for high equity strategies (at least in futures) here on C2. High net worth investors would be more likely to invest with a registered CTA or Investment Advisor. From the system developers point of view, the potential fees are far greater as a registered advisor.
Please define high equity strategies? That would certainly help developers tailor a plan toward what people are looking for. Also, if you have a 10k account and dont want a 1k dd, what would be acceptable. And if you tell me less than 10% or 1k tell me what return at the end of the year you would be happy with? I am curious so we can better gauge what someone who has 10k to invest is really looking for or what their expectations are.
