AI Summary
Summary
Author announces successful development of a profitable algorithmic trading system for prop firm evaluations, combining multiple strategies that switch based on market conditions.
Thesis: Different strategies are required for Asia, London, and New York sessions; a single strategy fails due to regime changes and overfitting.
Quality assessment: Anecdotal claim with no verifiable data or backtest details; more of a personal update than rigorous DD — borderline noise.

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.
