Hi Pascal,

Thanks for the reply.
During 2008, both IWM and GDX have max draw down more than 25%. But IWM/GDX model has about 10% draw only, during that time. Why that will happen, I will expect it will be still 25% drawdown, I understand they have low correlation factor, but just based on the diagram, they are both making a 25% drawndown at 10/15/2008 but it is only 10% when they combined.

Also, any suggestion about free dividends adjusted data I can find. I just want to verify the trade myself and if I follow the robot, I can follow it correctly.

Cheers,

Ellis
