This system didn't really test very well over several years of data even when there was all the fanfare.
It was not designed to cope with poorly trending markets and was promoted during when there was a very strong trend. As soon as that strong trend finished the losses started. However, there have been some exeptional trending moves recently so it has recovered a bit. In the long term I doubt it will be viable as a tradable system.
With better system design and diversification it is possible to make money trading systems. By trading a single system you are very vulnerable to system failure. It is like operating a company with a single product line. As soon as the revenue from the product dries up the company will go bust. In the same way that companies need multiple products, traders need multiple systems if they are so survive for the long haul.
