Each strategy's daily closed P/L added up at the sizes above: what one account running all 6 would have closed. Drawdowns are from the closed results, once per day (MT5's equity drawdown, which also counts dips inside open trades, is larger). Set files with these sizes are next to this report; the strategies' MT5 reports are in backtests\.
