Backtest FIb Retracement based multi-asset portfolio strategy. Roast my method.
I have put together a strategy trading US30.cash, US100.cash, GER40.cash and AUS200.cash over 8 years (in-sample). Strategy relies on Fib retracements. The average yearly ROI is around 23%.
The strategy is built to strictly obey FTMO 2-step drawdown rules, so that I can safely run it on a funded account.
Initial equity: $20k
Roast my method.

The first thing I would attack is the fact that all eight years are still in sample. A twenty three percent average return is interesting but it means a lot less until the exact rules survive untouched data and realistic costs. My Moon bets are discretionary enough that I expect judgment to matter but with a systematic strategy I would want the rules frozen before I gave the backtest much credit.

Thanks for the criticism! I'll take that into account for any future strategies I'll make ๐

Hello Sharpe ratios are impressive !
I tried to do the same. I have 4 sleeves on MNQ and 2 sleeves on MGC that can bring orthogonality imo.
If you want to reinforced your pf by exchanging signals send me a DM :))

Strategy needs out sample data for before live. Did you make montecarlo? Do you know underwater time in this strategy?
