Hypothetical results.

Every figure here is hypothetical: simulated entries and exits from our engine. One contract per strategy, after two ticks a round trip for commission and slippage. Nothing here is advice or a recommendation to trade.

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.

How to read it: every strategy enters at the close of a 30-minute bar and leaves at its stop, its target, or its time exit, whichever comes first. Points are the move captured; net is one contract after two ticks of costs (NQ $20 a point, ES $50).
