Trading Strategy "FUTURES CME-NYMEX"

Steady profits after almost 700 trades, very reasonable drawdown (overall and after each completed trade), no evidence of averaging down or martingale, not bad at all Alexey.

Most C2 users usually wait until a strategy is at least 3 to 6 month old before subscribing. In my opinion the number of trades is much, MUCH more important than the “age” of a C2 system.

Why?

Because some systems trade very infrequently and may generate, say, 6 trades in a year (or even less). The problem is that it is almost impossible to judge a system after only 6 trades or less, no matter how good the drawdown and the ROI are. Mathematically and statistically, we need at least 30 trades in order to draw any meaningful conclusion about any system.

More importantly, a good ROI and drawdown after a lot of trades is a sure sign that a trading system has indeed a mathematical edge (assuming there are no averaging down and martingal-ing activities). A large number of trades will also increase our confidence that its profitability was not due to chance.

So while the age of a C2 system is important, the number of trades is even more important.
