I ran a full backtest for January using my indicator with very specific rules to keep things realistic and disciplined.
Setup:
• Ticker: MNQ
• Timeframe: 5 Minute
• MTF Bias: ON
• Contracts: 3
• Price per Point: $2
Rules:
• Take 1 trade per day if it’s a win
• If the first trade is a loss, allow only 1 more trade
• No revenge trading, no overtrading
Results (January so far):
• P/L: +$3,969
• Wins: 13
• Losses: 8
I wanted to see how the system performs when trade frequency is limited and risk is controlled. So far, consistency and rule-following seem to matter more than trying to catch every move.
Happy to answer questions or break down the rules more if anyone’s interested.
