About this strategy

This system, NQ emini, typically opens with one or two contracts of the mini NASDAQ 100 index using technical analysis which we constantly improve and refine. We have occasionally leveraged or doubled up on the contracts to lower the risk and improve the gain potential. Also margining needs to be factored into the investment equation since positions we take during the trade day may require holding the contracts through the end of the trade day in order to realize a positive return.

This has yielded in over 80% return (compounded annually) for almost 2 consistent years with an unprecedented 96% positive trades.
Be sure to also take a look at our sister system (ES emini) which may or may not be a better fit for your investment goals!

Any questions or comments, please use the convenient message format here at Collective2 or you may visit www.esemini.com for more information on our trade capabilities and how we approach trading this system.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
