My algo generated 31.67% return with 13.01% DD and 5 losing months. Unfortunately only a part are live returns, part is demo. Live returns from the last 5 months of 2017 was 4.45% return which includes 2 of the 5 losing months. The algo only trades ZB, since this market was in a tight range...

Unfortunately not a good start. I made some mistakes today (me, not the system, yet another reason to make sure the system gets 100% automated soon). Total profit/loss today is 0$ (25$ profit but also 25$ commission), lucky to get out without a loss. I had some trades, closed some trades...

Since the results on gold are also looking very good i signed up for a 50k evaluation account with OneUp, starting today! I do not have that many data yet for gold but since the risk here is only 150$ i decided to give it a go.

Update since i have now data from the first full year. I have also been testing this system to more instruments and so far the first results i have from ES, NQ and GC looks like i might be on to something there as well.

Not getting filled is something i am unable to calculate so i have to add in some margin in my results for this reason. There is no trading prior to news evens, if there is an open position most of the time i will close it (depending on the event coming up). Trading also is eliminated until 5...

Right now i am not sure yet which is the best way to go, i am stil exploring some more options and i might try to get a partnership with someone i know and/or is nearby. (For the programming part etc) Automated trading, programming and potentially starting up a business out of it is all new to...

I have realized by now scalping might not be the right way to describe this system.

Take profit has been filled, it has been very close since price also touched my stop level 152'25 before going down again!

I haven't done to much research yet to applying it to other instruments besides ZB and ZN. However in the past i have spent some time researching to possibility to also trade mainly ES and CL with it, however i found out the system seems to prefer slower moving markets like ZB and ZN, so because...

First entry of the day, short at 152'20 30 minutes ago. Lets see if it can get to 152'15 :)

Making it 100% automated is something i can not do on my own, it is automated for a large part now and for now it is workable for me to do to manual stuff myself, however in the near future i would like to get it fully automated with some help. Indeed markets keep changing, and that is why i...

I am meeting with a friend who is a professional and very talented coder next week, hopefully he can help me. One other option i might have to get started sooner is to partner up with this guy in a business (he is quite wealthy and might be interested in my system), so then the money wouldn't be...

It will definitely get me through a combine, only problem there is i can only trade 2 contracts in a 50K combine to be absolutely sure not to hit the max loss limit or draw down with the results i have had so far. So then it would take 2 months to pass the combine and another 2 months to pass...

Nothing wrong with 1 contract, only problem then is that it would take multiple years to scale it to a decent size. And even 10k is more than i can deposit right now. I do understand lending money to trade is very risky, however right now it is one of the only options i have. Unfortunately not...

I am a single father raising a child of 5. I am not going to make the sacrifice to see my child only 30 minutes a day. That's not worth it in my opinion.

Normally i would agree with you, however in my personal situation in am unable to take an extra job. If it was an option i would have done it by now.

Thank you for the reply, i will look in to this. All this is new to me so that is why i created this thread, to get some input on what to do next and to find the best way to get into fully automated trading on a more professional level.

I have started a private thread with nonlinear5 to figure out the exact data he needed to calculate my sharpe ratio. Here is his reply: "Based on your figures, average daily return is 0.400446% standard deviation of daily returns is 1.886141% Your annualized Sharpe ratio is sqrt(251) *...
