Be careful if you are attempting to find the best equity curve on a
day-by-day, month-by-month basis. If EC #8 performs better than the rest
this month, then you are relying on a single month of data to make this
conclusion. Reliance on a single month of data can be statistically
problematic in terms of predicting the future performance of EC #8.
You can compare a basket of equity curves when you look at their entire
data sets as a whole. For example, if you are comparing 10 equity curves,
they should each represent a significant number of trades going back
several years. Apply statistics to all of the data, rather than how your
ECs are doing the past few months.
