    Why do you call it 'passive algo'?

    I was just being a stupid idiot...

    The word passive got stuck in my head cause this will hopefully turn into that. Another passive income source.

    You never mentioned, far as I can tell, if you noticed your poll results. Once you realize that people are behind you, including me, you will figure it out. I am tending that it is not your system that is fluctuating, but this bloody market and it's total nuttiness.

    One other opine...

    "The backtests gotta be worth something..."

    Backtests are worth exactly zero, because they are the PAST. They do not predict the FUTURE.

    This Algo will work on mnq/nq. It will net 40-60% return annually based on volatility. It has around 2% risk of ruin (-80%).

    I'm forward testing it.

    Changed the format a little bit. Start date to be 2/20 and just use close to close index change%

    Using theoretical starting point of 10k. Actual account bumped to just under 20k to make this somewhat worth while based on trading size

    Around 3-4%/month of pure algo action lol. This is a long way from those 40-50% months.
    At least this is all automated. Kind of of like having a rental property..with 2-3% chance of burning down

    Wow thanks for sharing your hard work, It gives me a glimpse of what’s to come in 2023. I’m new to MT5 do you mind sharing your developer contact. I had some coding background but not comfortable building something from scratch on a new platform. Thank you
