I don't think you maths are adding up correctly in your table for 3/6/23.
Is 0.009% of 10k more like 0.90$ instead of 99$?

I'm very tempted to switch to ES. Everywhere else people making 1-2,3,4,5%!
And here I am barely cracking quarter percent. Kind of pisses me off lol
At least you're making money, and I don't recall having seen one single red day.
And I don't think that everybody else is doing +1,2,3,5% a day, every single day.
I guess I'm still adjusting my mindset to this type of performance. I be lucky if I can crack 40% this year. Account is just under 20k, so it's like peanuts.
And this algo is not even scalable. Since I trade breakouts, the slippage gets worse as size increases.
This is probably a low scale edge I'm taking advantage of...

It certainly seems to be scalable, because you are not closing out red days. After this week, if your algo survives without a red day, think of doubling your size. Why would it NOT work?
My strategy is like long straddle option. If price goes sideways for too long, I lose and I lose bigggg.
Well hell, the SP and NAZ have been going sideways since you started that latest track, Feb 20th? You algo is outperforming the markets since that date.
I tried my first algo trade on MNQ last week with a 115 lost, btw what’s your take on MT5 backtest and optimization result? My algo stats looks good but feels like I’m overfitting it. Thanks
