This might be my 2026 Portfolio, along with several other strategies currently running, I’m deciding to stick to just 4 strategies for now, depending on what I find before the year ends.

Overfitting is like Over Speeding,
there is nothing really wrong with it,
but when you crash, it’s usually due to over speeding.
This is why we set measures to help us avoid crashes while trading live.
You can see some of those measures here.
I disabled my Martingale and Grid Systems in 2024 after the US elections, trading with Martingale and Grid Systems is like offering Insurance or Running a Casino. You need to know when and quit when the market is no longer favorable.
One of the mistakes I made with prop firms this year was thinking that finding the most profitable strategy was all I needed.
Some of my portfolios are more profitable than @Market_Emotions, yet I still failed to get payouts.
A big part of it was not properly vetting prop firms before buying accounts.
But ultimately, it’s all in the mathematics just like @Market_Emotions have shown.
One of the most important things I’ve learnt in trading this year:
Don’t over-rely on one strategy (or a set of strategies) for too long.
Run your portfolio like a football team.
Legend strategies come and go.
Keep researching for informational edges.
Imagine a Neuralink implant feeding a full 360° camera view straight into your brain. This could let you see everything around you - front, sides, behind, without turning your head. Attention already works that way (think rear-view mirrors). The brain just needs the extra data.
I haven’t really had any consistent trading account in 2026, this is because I decided to put in all my effort into prop firms around late last year, where I got funded but got denied payouts from several prop firms. Started something 2 months ago.
I ran the same condition a few different ways on recent data and got the opposite edge.
When Friday’s high (both 24h and RTH versions) was still unbroken into the Monday session, the short lost money in every window I tested.
The long side on those same Mondays was positive
This strategy shorts NQ futures every Monday when Friday's high was never broken.
Backtested on real tick data from February 2022 to May 2026 👇
Return: +573.30%
Profit Factor: 2.96
Win Rate: 22.6% (yes, wins less than 1 in 4 trades)
Avg R:R: 10.13
Max Drawdown: -15.2%
Total Trades: 62
Low win rate. High reward.
Every loss is small. Every win is massive.
See first comment to get the strategy 👇
I wrote a research report on Trading the Nasdaq-100 Closing Imbalance.
It looks at how the index behaves during the final auction, what patterns show up in the data, and whether there’s any consistent edge.
You can read the full report here:

Did you know that 77% of Gold’s entire 2023 - 2026 move happened inside a 4-hour window? That is 14.3% of clock time. In-window 2.10bp/h; rest of day 0.05bp/h.
There is no way Shaw, Martinez and Mount, plays twice a week, for 2 months without getting injured, we are not asking for squad, we’re asking for squad depth!!
Carrick has already said the squad is balanced, so it is now expected of him to sort out the issues within the team and make sure we are winning games.
If the left-back position was not strengthened, then he has to find a solution and ensure that weakness does not cost Manchester United points during the season.
He has said the squad is balanced, so there should be no excuses later when injuries or tactical problems expose that position.
The responsibility is now on Carrick to prove that his assessment of the squad is correct.
Starting to think the Premier League has a secret agenda against Manchester United winning the league or Champions League. They don’t want another La Liga or Ligue 1 situation. How else do you explain City dropping £84m in January and £350m in August while United can’t get deals?
A system (bot, algo, or script)
that follows rules exactly as written,
with zero fear, greed, hesitation, or emotional interference,
will outperform a large percentage of manual traders,
simply because
most human traders struggle with consistency and emotional discipline.
If you’re running strategies on Gold or Indices, always filter them by monthly seasonality.
Some setups that look solid the rest of the year quietly die in December/January.
Don’t skip this filter.
You don’t even need to export your CSV, you can just ask it to go to your MT5 Instance. Or even better check your trade history directly on the chart.
Even Myfxbook and Tradezella can be faked.
The only thing that matters and is most important is INFORMATIONAL EDGE.
Give that to anyone and they make money on the long run.
This is why Algo Trading is the Future.
Manual trading would be obsolete.
You can fake a broker statement.
You can fake a prop firm withdrawal certificate.
You can fake a trade screenshot.
You can even fake a deposit.
All of that can be fabricated.
What you can’t easily fake is an automatically synced trading account connected to platforms like @TradeZella or Myfxbook through a reputable broker.
That’s where you can actually verify the track record.
