What I'd like to show is the effect of changing those settings once the portfolio is constructed, so I've run that same portfolio using all 7 Trade Selection Order criteria with no other changes to the account settings. (below - sorry, it's a long graphic) I've copied / pasted a "table" of the results at the top & all the complete equity graphs below. Notice the wide variation in results. This is why Steve & I have tried to stay with one set of account settings all through the process of building portfolios. It should be interesting to do more research once it's easier to accomplish...
