Hi IcedFrosty, nice job but I can't find the indicators that you mention in the MT5 marketplace. Thanks

-2.99 average tick per contract with total volume of 4,000 contracts



Day's Starting Balance: $62,951
Day's Ending Balance: $56,978

Below is the equity curve after 8 of 20 days SIM trading starting with a $10,000 account balance...

Fantastic results. Quick question, I looked and I don't think it was asked, out of curiosity, why the micro NQ? By my math using this last days results it looks like she trades on average 300+ contracts per trade (41.5K contracts traded / 129 RT's).

Just curious your thoughts and feedback. As well would you/she in the "real world" trade the regular NQ even just to reduce commissions if anything, or is the strategy based on having the ability to scale in/out quite a bit, so having 300 mnq works better than 30 nq?

She typically trades with about 10 tranches using around 7 tranches in the first batch and around 3 tranches in the second batch. Beginning the challenge with a $10,000 starting balance would be difficult to use NQ and still have enough margin for 10 tranches. She plans to keep using the micro NQ for the duration of the challenge even though the commissions are roughly double those of NQ.

Only in NT8, not in MT5.

So if i understand. She's mostly at break even if you add the commission?

Not exactly...commissions are included in all PnL stats...
