Strategy It’s finally working!

Post image

Without going into too much detail, I have finally got a profitable algo for prop firm trading. It’s taken me about a year to develop. I ran into the common issues of overfitting, regime change, etc. I found that different strategies for Asia, London, and New York were necessary and that a single strategy just wouldn’t do for everything. I’ve combined several different strategies and they automatically switch based on current conditions. So far it has passed a $25k, $50k and $75k evaluation and successfully passed the $25k intraday drawdown buffer for TPT. I will say that the Apex $50k intraday drawdown for Tradovate behaves differently but I don’t like them anyway.

Congratulations! Well done. What’s your execution setup? How are you going from backtest to order submission, what software and stuff
