I would like to see a number which shows maximum floating loss reached in pips/per trade. There are so many systems with hidden elements and there are so many naive investors who need to be protected.

I am in the same arena - I would like to see it with more than just pips though - the amount of $ that a system has in maximum unrealized draw down would also be a good addition -
With the fact that you can already see the % of equity on any given account that's running is nice but it would be nice to see that captured so that you can see the date and time that the maximum draw down happened so that you can look into the circumstances behind it and perhaps make corrections to your system.

Thanks for looking into doing this for us.

Knowing how much floating loss per pair would help us evaluate a system. We need to understand all the risks involved. Just closed out draw-down will not tell the whole story. Myfxbook does a great job with understanding the matrix of a trade ;)
Thanks Guys. Keep up the good work!

Yes, good idea. Extreme vs. average is an interesting number, whether it's holding time or open drawdown.
Surround yourself with people whose eyes light up when they see you and who have no agenda for your reform.
