Welcome to the hunt! The goal is to find the holy grail of automated trade strategy as defined below:
Profit factor greater than 3
Annual drawdown less than 3%
Annual return on max drawdown greater than 500%
Maximum daily net loss of -$1,000
Avg Daily profit greater than $1,000
Less than 5,000 trades annually
More than 253 trades annually
When I first started ATS on Substack, I published 10 strategies that barely had a profit factor (gross profit/gross loss) of 1.10. Today, the average profit factor is over 2.00! So we haven’t found the holy grail yet, but we get closer with every strategy.
How does the process work?
As a subscriber you get instant access to all strategies as seen below. Every two weeks or so I publish a new strategy. You can use the strategies as they are or to create something new. You can build the strategy yourself using the description provided or you can import the download from Google Drive into Ninjatrader (code is in C#). There are no restrictions on sharing, selling or using the strategy.
You can view the links to all strategies below. Over time, the strategies have evolved into lessons. These lessons can be used to improve your manual trading as well. My manual trading performance has certainly improved since I started this.
Every quarter I publish a Strategy Performance Chart, which shows how each strategy backtested over the last year. It does not include all strategies, only the strategies we’re looking at trading in the forward test. Unlike the backtest, which is based on historical data, the forward test is based on live data traded on a simulated account. Click here for the September 2022 - September 2023 Backtest.
Each strategy is optimized by time series (frequency of bar formation). If you think of each strategy like a car, the time series is the best gear to drive the car in.
I prefer equity futures, NQ in particular for its price action. However, you will find other instruments like HG and a few stocks on our list this quarter.
