About this strategy

This strategy trades the eMini S&P 500 futures contract at high frequency. It will typically trade 150-200 times a day, using limit orders. The trading algorithm uses various market microstructure models and machine learning techniques to extract the trading signal.

HFT scalping strategies depend critically on using a low-latency trading platform to maximize the fill rate (the percentage of limit orders that are filled). Since the objective is to extract around half a tick ($6) per trade on average, it is also important to minimize trading costs.

We recommend using MB Trading for this strategy.

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.
