Backtest Performance
Hypothetical performance of our strategies using default settings. Live tracking coming soon.
BACKTEST – Jan 1, 2024 – Oct 5, 2026 – TP $460 / SL $600 / Daily loss $600 / 1–3 MNQ contracts per trade / 10:00–14:00 NY
Tested on MNQ (Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100) only. Position size adjusts between 1 and 3 MNQ contracts per trade; it never exceeds 3. Results do not apply to NQ or other instruments.
Backtests use $100,000 starting capital for consistency. The strategies trade a fixed size (1–3 MNQ contracts), so dollar results do not depend on account size. Smaller accounts will see the same dollar gains and losses, which means larger percentage swings.

HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED 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 PROFIT OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.
Backtests include $0.50 per contract per side commission but do not include slippage. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss.
