Strategy Profit Factors for ES.D

Discussion in 'Strategy Building' started by bearded_clam, Oct 22, 2008.

  1. What kind of historical and/or real time Profit Factors are you guys acheiving for automated strategies on the ES.D?

    I am mostly interested in strategy ideas that are intraday.
     
  2. For the past five years Avg. 2.83 (Longs 2.61, Short 3.75)

    If I cranked up my system and got more aggressive I might see, using historical testing, Avg. 3.11(Longs 2.83, Shorts 4.14) WITHOUT commissions on 1000 total trades.

    I hope this helps.
     
  3. Nice. Is this trading 1 contract only
     
  4. If your base or minimum trading size is 1 contract I will generally be between 1 and 10 times that base trading size with entries. 1 to 5 times is typical.


    Better risk/reward = more size.

    all trades are within 8:30 am - 3:15 pm chicago time
    and this system holds overnight.
