About this strategy

When developing a strategy I put a lot of effort in Robustness Tests.
All my strategies when through Walk Forward Matrix, Montecarlo Analysis, Parameters Permutation. This in order to try to guarantee the best Stability and Reliability in live performance compared to backtest.
My strategies are so divided:
MES = it's a mix of 3 strategies with different filters and parameters. Contract size: from 1 to 3 max at the same time. Trade duration: from few hours to few days.
MGC = it's a daily BIAS + filter strategy with 1 contract size. Trade durations: few hours.

The strategies all together may perform a max balance DD of 3.000$, so my suggestion is to DO NOT trade with less than 15K$.
I trade my own strategy (TradeStation, live account) from November 2024 with starting capital of 16K$ and this is what I registered (hourly check):
Max Balance DD: 10.11%
Max Equity DD: 14.10%
Net Performance: 102% (November 2024 - May 2026)

I constantly work in develop new strategies that will be added during the current 2026 once ready to go live on my account.
Feel free to reach me out for any question on curiosity.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
