HYPOTHETICAL BACKTEST, NOT REAL TRADES (ES1! 1-hour, 1 contract, after costs, Jan 2023 – Sep 2026)
458 trades · 77.29% winners · profit factor 1.325 · +$30,635 net · largest drawdown $13,915
Losses average about 2.6× the wins, so it needs about 72% winners to break even. It ran at 77%. That margin is the edge, and it’s thin.

HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER- OR OVER-COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS ARE ALSO 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 THOSE SHOWN.
