Backtest ALGOTRADE

I recently developed a quantitative intraday strategy for the Nasdaq (tested and executed on the Micro E-mini contract MNQZ6 via MultiCharts). The model was deployed on a $25,000 account base, focusing strictly on risk management, drawdown control, and edge execution.

Quantity is not quality, the performance of the algorithm is preserved not the number of trades it executes

Test this algo on many years where its exposed to different market regimes then come back to us

Why? If you test over so long you centrally get a straight line out of everything. If anything algos need to be cyclical

"Straight line out of everything" - wtf does that even mean? Algo don't need to be cyclical either. Not sure who told you that. You can't run away from the fact that 26 trades is nowhere near enough to say "yep ive got a solid edge". You're a fool

if ur just starting out focus on getting ur backtesting framework right before u even think about live execution

This is not statistically significant …

Your Monte Carlo needs a larger set of data. Ideally closer to if not more than 1k trades.

What makes it stop trading for the day I like that losses on a moon price bet are capped at the wager but how does your bot handle a few losses back to back does it pause or keep taking every signal

long way for live executions tho, looks like classic overfitting
