Thank you Stok for the nice encouragement.
I never stop testing new strategies. And this one is one of my favorite at the current time (I have tested some thousand strategies with their variations).
It's an impressing money machine. has the "little" problem that requires money on each account to be played. The nice aspect, is the overall risk is very limited. Practically absent.
As to the general idea it's like I said before. Balance/ Create umbalance / Scalp / ReBalance ... repeat forever without stops, always hedging.
Much of the headache here comes from implementation details, actually.

Good point.
This has been discussed many times here.
And it's not like you say.

Further, even if you were right (and, this time, you are not) I have said 2 distinct individuals...

What do you mean by "handle the code and the trades all in one" ?

2 distinct individuals trading as a team in a coordinated manner is known as collusion, that's a big nono.
1 trader trading with himself on 2 separate accounts is known as wash trading, that's also a big nono.
I'm not saying you're doing any of these things... just saying be careful not to piss off the wrong agency.
About "collusion" must get informed because I do not know this concept. But it's anyway impossible to prove.
For the second point, we asked the CME to be sure, and it's not like you say.

That's called hedging and it's perfectly legal.
Should we not protect our positions ?
There is not tax or other scam intent (l googled the term "collusion" and it seems another concept. Seem to require different brokers to take place.).
In any case we are just trading. It's a strategy. And no one will be ever able to prove there is any bad intent.
Unless you consider bad pursuing a possible profit fighting openly the market and taking your risks.
Should we only take losses ?
There are already so many losers, and anyway the commissions are always good ...
