1. He needed some time to develop those bunch of algos, otherwise he came with his 50 algos at 2012 already but that was not the case. 2. Do you know ANY algo(s) where you can be sure it cannot stop working ? If yes, then please tell me.

No, I would say. You need additional filters for any consistency.

Yes, you are right. Unlevered returns (mostly on stocks used) are just with leverage of 1 or when 1 ES contract traded (the full market value on 1 ES contract =50*actual points). Then with leverage or using margin higher returns are possible (and also higher drawdowns).

Even Jim Simons one of the best hedge funds owners does not have more than 15% unlevered returns per year. But he does use plenty of leverage to get 66% return per year in average. Leverage on low drawdowns is the key.

No, it can be but you have to define what is 50% of the time. It is based on at least 1 month or longer then it can 50% of the time.

yes, with wider stops. So the RRR >1 is not based on per trade but based on time period say 1 month, where RRR is greater than 1.

Can confirm this more or less but you need additional filters I would say. The overall trend is also important. So if you look for a sellshort then the uptrend should be broken cleary on your smaller timeframe chart too. Also looking for additional resistance from prior toppish candles could...

Of course, liquidity is even better or at least as good and spreads are good too. Have a look. You can read this thread too. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/evaluating-prop-firm-offers.370347/

You should trade Index cfds with FTMO or MyForexFunds who have much better rules if you are looking for such prop firms. I also created an excel sheets in thread evaluating prop firms here.
