I am not kidding the Goal is 100k , this might take 2yrs . ya and that is sim account only so I am excited.

Each day/week I will show my program trading , technically i will need $2000 to start this.
But it will compound . But how , there has been a hidden thing in the futures trading which I have noticed , these are arches or period of straight green days upward , happens after compression. People call them ladders etc.

Here is example of Last Oct till now Oct , there are total of 8 arches . If I can get all of them or some of them I will be positive and ready to push further each year.

I clicked your link. It said it was a "test" strategy not visible to the public.

it is Trial Strategy so right now i will be only able to see it , also the strategy in collective need some time to build history so people can simulate and subscribe , and u never know which one gets most of the hits , but keep trying .


Today it did not take any trades good enough.

Today was day where u buy high and pray it does not come down , 1 trade total , 1 pt only . Meanwhile i got interested on some winning strategies on collective .i created a new strategy which buys dip holds the position for few days and fine tuned it on hourly. Nice one 173 trades jn last 4yrs . Also i have to add some of magic to avoid the losing months like 8/2015 and some more , overall brought the drawdown to -6.5% and i am happy

This is how it looks on 30 mins chart , and luckily I have the best month 8/17 of the year to simulate was best with 3 dips bought perfectly but now I am kicking myself why can't I come of this one before.

The secret to dip buying is simple , it is volatility , if ATR is high above 20 which normally happens during selloff's don't buy it. Simple as I have seen the selloffs are rapid , very fast on 30 mins, ATR rises very fast , normal investors run at this moment and come back when ATR is back to normal. So that is one piece of it , to avoid the bear fast moves. What about slow declines , well ATR is to low to enter in those moves , god forbid if you get trapped by a single trade and that is not end of world. It either has to have some leverage to recover or stop get hit which is 25 pts.

Exit: Is simple either RSI above 70 or SMA cross.

Scaling: I kept scaling of this to 10k per contract , which is pretty decent for overnight hold of contracts , it does not hold more than 3 days, which is good thing.

Scaling this on 5K is so amazing just cannot stop posting this , it needs a good month and contracts just add like anything.
Well this is a engine which feeds itself full like a monster , to design these kind of programs , I need to be careful abou bad months , imagine u are on 50 contracts and bad months comes , you will cut down to 10 contracts .
