I've developed a system for fully auto trading E-mini futures. Here are the backtest results for the last 15 months.

Trade one contract for each symbol, and no positions overnight

Trades: 883
Net Profit: 53119
Max DD: 2068
Profit Factor: 2.03
Kelly: 27
PI: 7.72

NQ: 07/20/2009 - 10/29/2010
Trades: 1302
Net Profit: 44322
Max DD: 1209
Profit Factor: 1.76
Kelly: 21

Is this auto trading system good enough for sale? And how can I sell this auto trading system to fund my trading capital quickly?

Thanks.
 
Those numbers are good enough that you should borrow 20k and trade one of each of ES/NQ/YM. You can pay back the loan in less than a year and have ample capital to continue.

Why in the world would you sell something that good?

You'll own the world in a few years!

Backtesting is only the first step of a four step qualification process. You need to learn the limitations of backtesting and perform the additional steps necessary if you want to ethically represent this as a successful system.

The second essential ingredient of monetizing a successful system is marketing. Study that as well.

I wish you well in your enterprise.
 
The vast majority of this crap, read 99.99% is curve fitted to no tomorrow.

On top of that 1st post so you get the idea.
 
to sell a system you should generate

- 95% profitable trades
- profit factor minimum 3
- at least 2 trades per day
- drawdowns less than 8 ES points

and ask no more than $19.95 for your system.

only to realize that each person who is "interested" will endlessly tell you how systems are all about curve fitting and are all crap- only manual trading can win.
:D

give yourself a luxury and trade your system with your own money against the delusional masses.

I hope you're being sarcastic. This is a disaster waiting to happen. This system is clearly over optimised and will almost certainly lose money in real trading. Can the developer answer the following questions?

1. What slippage cost have you factored in per round trip?
2. What sort of results do you get using various *other* 15 month periods from the past? e.g. Jan 01 2000 to Mar 31 2001?

BTW there are some very good systems out there that DO make money, but developing them is not easy.

No, no, NO! That's an immediate red flag. It's usually the worst systems ever that have a high proportion of winning trades.

Actually not - I was not being sarcastic. If the developer believes in his systems and they stats are that good, he/she should be willing to put it in play and risk some money.

Why would the OP want to sell something that good?

Assumes facts not in evidence. I hope you don't trade the same way.

this is precisely why most people would like to buy them (if the cost is below 20 bucks of course). because the majority always makes the worst choices.
