Automated Strategy Equity Curve
I have been working on automating a few trading strategies that make up a comprehensive long / short trading plan.
I programmed and back-tested using TradeStation with Easylanguage with focus on the ES e-mini contracts.
It is a day trading plan, so it only deploys capital during regular trading hours. And it doesn’t trade very often. The average win rate is approximately 60% and the average Win/Lose ratio close to 2:1. It run in simulation mode for 6 months and has been running Live since October 2015 with a 10.3% rate of return. Draw-downs historically (15 years) have been as high as 26% (Jan 2008 – Oct 2008,) so it is not for the faint of heart.
The graph shows the equity curve for the 15 year simulation.
I am also programming the strategy to posts the trades in real time on this blog, so you can follow.
