About this strategy

The signals from this strategy are generated from a proprietary data science model that uses aspects of machine learning, predictive analytics, prescriptive analytics (optimization) and simulation. The model identifies the trend on market open and follows it, reversing as needed if the trend changes. Typically, 1 position will be taken a day, with no positions held overnight. We are currently trading 3 MES per position and will increase this over time as enough profits are earned to meet the margin requirements for larger positions.

Pros:
1) The trading system has been derived from market data from 2009 onwards and is designed to be profitable in all market situations, regardless of news, volatility, black swan events etc.
2) Profits will be taken after following a trend, on the 1st confirmed reversal sign, so we allow profits to run and exit on uncertainty.
3) All trades will have 2 stop losses - we will exit the trade if either one is triggered.
a) a hard stop set immediately upon entering a position, based on the type of trade entered and current market volatility.
b) a manual stop loss based on price action.
4) All positions are fully managed by the trade leader. There will be no instances where a trade is left unmanaged.
5) All trades are on MES, one of the most liquid instruments in the market, hence expect slippage to be minimal.

Cons:
1) Since the trading system is based off data, there will be instances where a new scenario occurs that has not been encountered in the training dataset before. Most losses in the trading system are due to this issue. When this occurs, the model will be updated to account for the new scenario. New historical data is also being added to the training model daily. The current accuracy of the model is resulting in a trading system that delivers a consistent profit on a monthly basis. This accuracy will slowly improve as more data and scenarios are incorporated.
2) There will be days where the market is directionless for the entire session. This is different from low volatility. You can have low volatility days with a direction and high volatility days without direction. On such directionless days, either no trade is taken, or a small loss/breakeven will result.

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.
