About this strategy

As a phD from MIT, I have constructed and refined a neural network automatic Forex trading system.

It trades hourly with different position sizing corresponding to USD $100,000 (to trade with IB ideal pro route, min scale down of 30% is suggested). Weight decay has been applied to avoid overfitting and feature scaling has made our network predictive of real market.Validation and optimization is also performed. Spreads and commissions are included in backtest and it still shows a very decent profit given its high frequency nature. Subscribers can scale down to suite your risk/reward magnitude (scale down while keeping commission spread as low as possible).

On the current level of leverage, Expected return is backtested as 80% and Max draw down is backtested as 18%.(These results represent hypothetical backtesting.)

Of course these are goals only. No performance can be guaranteed, and the actual real-world results may be vastly different from these goals.

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.
