Good lord, the original dude who posted this thread is probably sipping tea somewhere while people argue here.
So much misinformation flying around. One quick question to AI would have clarified it. Since no one did it, so I will do it. Here you go - via Gemini 2.5 Pro.

Did i miss something?
Well, I posted verified pnl, but it seems inflated, maybe it will show correct figure on a trading day, monday maybe. Dont know if I want to post it publicly now… did it in a fit 
Can i dm you somewhere?
Will DM you.
No i’d rather keep the numbers private.
That said, there is a decent degradation that i have learned to reduce through better (read higher) slippage estimate in backtests.
Main factors for difference between trades from code vs actual live trades.
Overoptimization is another factor that will lead to future perf being worse than initial backtest period.
Some of these nos can be tweaked by you. take early profits and win rate will increase.
My DD at single system levels have lasted more 6-8 months in worst case.
One system did very well last year - best ever single system FY performance for me. Its in DD since mid march. Its just how it is. I do not expect month on month performance. Even an option seller i know expects 3 month cycles in worst case, mine is a lot worse as i dont sell options.
Dude - I never pointed any fingers or said that you were spreading misinformation. Stop projecting your insecurities onto others and learn to control your emotions.
Thanks, are all your strategies automated? Do you buy options?
yes all are automated. Wont ever trade manually now.
One i used to do manually and eventually converted into systematic.
No options yet, i am too lazy to learn it for now and have other options. Plus execution will need more work and regulatory environment is pretty uncertain. Its very liquid though, so much better for scaling up vs stocks.
Eventually might look at it when i have nothing else to do.
bro how do ya’ll trade anything but options?
I simply haven’t been able to crack it. The charges are always too high and eat into all the profits.
yeah costs are high, most are better off in options anyway as they are more liquid too so will scale much higher. Cant put too much in stocks beyond the mega stocks.
I just happened to have started long ago when index futures and stocks trading was more popular.
