Nasdaq jumps 1.3% on chip rally; our strategies' long trades win, short trades lose

Stocks rallied as chip-related shares surged and traders awaited the Fed's rate decision, with strong earnings from a major shipper adding to the upbeat mood. Our strategies' long trades in NQ won both times, while short trades lost two of three as the rally held through the session. Exits were mixed: two trades were stopped out, one hit its target, and two closed on a time exit.

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.
