Thanks for sharing Spectre2007, Your system gives me some hope to keep on working hard to find a low drawdown system to pass TST and get funded. That is a very good low drawdown (I estimated about $2500 to $3000) equity curve. The system looks conservative and low risk. I believe the goal...

Thank you for sharing Spectre2007, I believe I attempted the TST combine like 6 times and failed for the following the reasons: 1. No confidence in the strategy I was using. 2. Not letting profit runs per the strategy I was using. 3. Trying to pass the TST on the 30K account with $1500...

Great work Spectre2007. Great profits. So your algo identified the consolidating (range) market today and adjusted to take small profits or trade range setups?

Thank you so much Spectre2007, Now i understand what you mean.:) Wow, so all the trend systems I tried to back test in NT, I never considered a trend filter or volatility indicator. I just test the trend system considering all market conditions throughout the historical back test. In other...

Take care yourself learner2007. I enjoyed your comments.

Thanks Spectre2007, Are you saying that : 1. One algo (trending system) can not trade the ES market everyday? 2. Multiple systems are needed for different market conditions (trending, consolidation) daily? If this is the case, if day trading, I wouldn't know if today will be trending or...

Great write up Spectre2007, I can share my comments on "let your profits run". When I manually trade (semi discretionary and semi mechnical), and I exit the trade for a profit, I get happy. Then it goes up for more profits after I exit, my first thoughts are "I soo wish i had just stayed in...

Thanks Spectre2007, I am using CQG demo free data with NT. And for one strategy (Intraday price action and 3 EMAs for trend) it shows great results for 2007-2008, but 2009-2015, the results is just not good. I am starting to question can I really trust free CQG demo data. They provide on 1...

Thanks and I agree with you. Every trade has probability (expectancy) of being a winner. I have a question regarding the NT data feed used to back test strategies. Do you use NT free CQG demo data or some other paid data service?

Hello Spectre2007, Very very very good trading and accomplishment. Great job and execution well done. :):) Few questions please: 1. How does it feel passing the Combine personally? 2. Did you stop intervening with the algo during trading day? 3. Any advice for me and others as I am...

You are right lawrence-lugar, I can definitely put that cash to work somewhere else, especially in my trading account. I am selling, I am out. Breakeven.

Thanks southall. It's all good man. I will hold. It's very small investment for the long term.

Lol

I bought Bitcoin at $6000 back in November 2017. I am still holding. I wish I had sold at the top. But oh well. I guess I will hold it.

Thanks tomorton,

tomorton, Can you go into detail with an examole please? So if your a count size is $20k, and you see a setup, you risk (increase lot size or more stock shares) the entire $20k on this one setup?

Yes, I agree Xela. It cost a bit more per month to accomplish, but you mention a good point I was forgetting lol

Good point MidwesternTrader, TST uses trailing drawdown. The best way I can explain it is using a spreadsheet I developed to practice passing the Combine. Notice the every profit increases the drawdown. For system building I just ignore the trailing drawdown and stick to drawdown

I agree with you with the high probability trades setup, especially with passing the combine. Question, what indicator are you using the draw trend lines in NT? So for combine here is the goals I have to get funded moneywise: Combine goals Avoid $2000 trailing drawdown, make $2500 profit...
