No compounding, over 6.6 years. Points measure the raw price movement captured, independent of account size, trade size or leverage. Compounding is what makes a curve go vertical - and it tells you nothing about whether the edge is real.

Why it is a straight line, not a rocket
No compounding, over 6.5 years. Points measure the raw price movement captured, independent of account size, trade size or leverage. Compounding is what makes a curve go vertical - and it tells you nothing about whether the edge is real.
