So far, this strategy is turning out ok given this months craziness. Compared to simulated results over the same time period, this is about 75% of the simulated net. This discrepancy is primarily the result of a critical software failure on Sept. 16 (compliments of TradeStation), otherwise the simulated results match real-world result almost exactly.
Some general notes on this strategy: Position size is $2000 per position (minimum test size) and it averages around 10-20 trades/day and sometimes does 200-300. It is intraday only, 100% automated. I don't check or touch this thing until end of day on most occasions. We'll see how it handles lower vola. next month, but I anticipate scaling this thing up in another few weeks. 1.5 months of real-world testing is still slightly too short of a time period for me to feel confident that all the bugs are fixed.
