About this strategy

Macdicator is a discretionary futures trading strategy built around a structured decision-making process. The strategy evaluates market structure, liquidity, price behavior, and broader market context to identify potential trading opportunities.

Trades are managed with an emphasis on disciplined execution and risk management rather than maximizing trade frequency. The strategy may remain out of the market when conditions do not meet the trading criteria.

Position sizing and exposure are managed according to current market conditions and the quality of the setup. Trades may be entered or exited intraday as market conditions change.

The objective is to pursue consistent execution while controlling downside risk and avoiding unnecessary market exposure. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

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.
