I actually missed it up above where you said every $5000 increase you are adding 1 contract. Did you mean to type every $500?
'I do want it to outperform the ndx. At least by 20-30% for the year. Otherwise, what's the point of trading, I can just invest in qqq or something.' Because the NDX does not go up forever. A 40% rally since Dec 31st is NOT a typical return. How many years has the Nasdaq been up 40% ? This algo seems to be immune to drawdowns on the Nasdaq. November 2022, the Nasdaq was 35% off its all time highs.
Then I don't get how you can be at 4 micros with only $12K. If you started with 1 at 10K then you would still be at 1. Or did you start with 4 to begin with?
Enjoy your time now NDX, with your +40% ytd.... But one day you will slip, and when you do, I hope you break your damn neck!
'But one day you will slip, and when you do, I hope you break your damn neck!' Funny, I was thinking yesterday that this market felt a bit like summer 2011, when the SPX rallied to 1347 on July 21st, then dropped to 1101.54 in 13 trading days. or about 18%. About 810 points at current levels. Nasdaq lost 16.5 %. in 10 days, equivalent to about 2,500 points at current levels. Warning - past performance is no guarantee of future results.
