Can a fully automated trading strategy work in the long run?

    Are you still trading the same algo? This sounds more like discretionary than automated. BTW good trading lately.

    it's mechanical but manual for now. Slight variation of the algo but based on breakout.

    I will, gradually increase to 10-15 contracts. Anymore would cause too much slippage

    This is not ES I'm trading. It's volatile, but not thick.

    Goal:
    200k account trading 10-15 contracts aiming for around $5000/daily

    Risk control and execution.

    I think it's possible. I need to internalize this goal into my subconscious.
