Thanks @gaz, it looks like Exit 2 seems more interesting.

Today i experimented the same, but little different strategy with sizing , but only MNQ

also used dpQGP indicator on left side, rightside 9/20/200 ema

please let me know your thoughts.


Today is slow day, i wont consider as valid trading day, but will eventually i will experiment more in coming days.

thank you again.

Yeah, exit 2 was certainly more interesting.

I actually went on to Market Replay the strat for a year.
Unfortunately, towards the end my Replay Data Downloader finished and it actually reset my playback connection.
So I did loose those results before I had a chance to screen grab them.

So that was a waste of 8 hours!

I was checking periodically and the PF was 1.01 or something, and basically some weeks/months we're absolutely terrible with huge drawdown.


It does lead to to question for what kind of duration should a strategy perform well?
Strategy Arbing is real, and If we have something that's performing great in the last three months, should I just go ahead an run it live for a month and review from there?

I also reviewed my trading book, and I have a huge personal note
*Do Not Run Any Algo on the 1m Charts*

EA Account's




Decent 4 figure day today.

Keeping things sensible and calm on my first day back.

Hit that same 5068 level on ES for Entries and Targets. LOB Levels proving critical on the ES chart today.

Commentary on chart above. I did not hit the 5087/5088 target on trade 3, my trail stopped me out.

Some ES Levels for 23/02/2024

Order book is subject to moving around.

Looking at the orders, best way for the 0.1% to rip us all off today is a V Shaped recovery day......?
