With a max DD of less than 20%, longevity of more than 6 months, minimum capital of 50k, any suggestions out there? And I’d like to avoid C2 star programs due to capital limitations.

Michael,

Please take a look at NQ VX Timer, which meets all your requirements.

Max DD less than 20% (14.2%), longevity over 6 months (9 months), minimum capital of 50K (C2 suggests 70K), and not a C2 star program, so you can lever it up as you wish.

Also, Sharpe ratio 1.77, Sortino ratio 2.58, Calmar ratio 6.90, 87.2% win rate, 196 trades, and Profit factor of 2.3, without a losing month (yet)!

Here’s the link:
