Automated Trading Strategy Review – E-Mini Russell Futures

Russell Auto Trader

The Russell has had a VERY nice bearish trend over the past week or so and it continues aggressively today. This does typically make it difficult for the FLEX Auto Trader as it is more of a counter-trend trader but this past week worked out perfectly banking us a solid profit of $650 with some nice and strong stats! This is a perfect week to exemplify that you don’t need perfect market conditions to make money!

Russell Performance

The Russell brought in a gorgeous profit of $650 this past week on strong stats! We had our largest winning trade come in at $400 while the largest losing trade was way back at only $200. Along with this, we have our average winning trade coming in at $312.50 while the average loser is $200 again. This gives us a reward vs. risk average of 1.56 and a total profit factor of 2.08; exactly where we LOVE to see those stats fall! We are seeing a bit less action at .88 trades per day on average which isn’t a huge surprise with the trendiness of the Russell. The trades are firing very quickly as well when they do trigger at a hold time average of 57.5 minutes.

Russell Executions

The Russell took a total of 7 trades this past week for a commission total of $45 per contract traded which isn’t bad at all. We had 4 of the 7 trades clock in as winners and the left over 3 as losers for a trade accuracy total of 57.14%. Both the winning trades AND the losing trades were all consecutive as well which definitely doesn’t happen that often.
