18 live trades -$270.90

Tuesday’s session across MES, MGC, and MNQ finished in the red at -$270.90 on 18 trades with a 0.33 profit factor. A CME data outage disrupted the MGC feed mid-session, creating fills and behavior that would not have occurred under normal conditions. No excuses on the P&L, but a red flag worth logging on the tech stack side.

Best trade of the day was an MNQ short for +$39.20. Shorts outperformed longs overall, posting a 1.09 win/loss ratio compared to 0.98 on the long side. Full NinjaTrader log and session summary below.

Risk Disclosure: Futures trading carries significant risk and may not be suitable for all. There is a possibility of losing all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital refers to funds that can be lost without compromising one’s financial security or lifestyle. Trading should only be conducted with risk capital, and only individuals with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Past performance Disclosure: Past performance results have inherent limitations, which are outlined below. It should not be assumed that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In reality, there can be significant differences between past performance results and the actual results achieved by a specific trading program. Moreover, no past performance can fully account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. Factors such as the ability to withstand losses or adhere to a particular trading program despite experiencing trading losses are important considerations that can affect actual trading results. There are various other market-related factors and the implementation of specific trading programs that cannot be entirely considered in the preparation of past performance results, all of which can impact trading outcomes adversely.

CFTC Rules 4.41: Hypothetical or Simulated performance results have certain limitations, unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, 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 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 profit or losses similar to those shown.

Trading Evaluation Disclaimer:

The candidate pass rate of one of our top firm’s evaluation programs is around 16.9% between April 1, 2023 – Nov 30, 2023. The Trading Evaluation is a realistic simulation of trading under actual market conditions and is difficult to pass even for experienced traders. Trading Evaluations are not suggested for individuals with minimal trading experience.
