Nice to see you're beating the Nasdaq (finally).

Amazingly consistent results. Couple of questions: What programming language is the algo written in ? Approximately how many lines of code were required ? Has the fundamental design of the algorithm remained the same since the start of the trial with real money ?

" So I can't figure out how to set the algo default (indicator format) to select my account .Everytime I restart the vps before the week starts and reopen the platform, it would deselect the account causing the 0 balance alert. I guess I have to add that to my checklist to make sure the algo is...

'But one day you will slip, and when you do, I hope you break your damn neck!' Funny, I was thinking yesterday that this market felt a bit like summer 2011, when the SPX rallied to 1347 on July 21st, then dropped to 1101.54 in 13 trading days. or about 18%. About 810 points at current levels...

'I do want it to outperform the ndx. At least by 20-30% for the year. Otherwise, what's the point of trading, I can just invest in qqq or something.' Because the NDX does not go up forever. A 40% rally since Dec 31st is NOT a typical return. How many years has the Nasdaq been up 40% ? This algo...

Given that the Nasdaq is up a whopping 22.48 % since the close on 17th Feb 2023, your algo's 21.25 % gain is pretty damn impressive. That's in 97 trading days. Many traders would sell their own mother for such a consistent return. Does the algo exclusively trade the Nasdaq ?

Are you gradually upping the trade size ?

Really steady performance. You may have already told us, but is your system trading both SPX and NDX or just the latter ?

Is the strategy exclusively trading the Nasdaq ?

No, but it's complicated since I am trading larger size.

Still not a single losing day. That's impressive.

'It's in ticks, so just divide by 4 for points.' So I get 2281/4 NDX points, or 570 points, which equals 166.25 SPX points. Or 9.78 per week traded. Still not too bad.

If I understand that correctly (mnq...?) that's 2281.28 Nasdaq points ? That's not too shabby at all, equates to around 667 SPX points (what I currently trade). 39 SPX points per week. (17 weeks trading ?) Impressive. One thought - would prop trading be one way of increasing the trade size ?
