About this strategy

Identify the trend of the market and trade with it. Emini S&P 500 future (ES) only. Normally one contract order. But a second order could be added if the trend is still there and more opportunities appear. Position holding could be hours or minutes. The order could be placed during the day or after hours.

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.
