Forward results: PA-DAX 15m unchanged since Dec 19, 2022 — 500%+ net with ≤3 red months in a row (live, 1 contract)

 

Hi everyone,

 

I wanted to share a longer-term forward result from one of our algos that has been unchanged since launch on Dec 19, 2022. It has run live on one contract the entire time. We don’t curve-fit between months or “nudge” parameters—this one has been left completely as is to test robustness.

 

Strategy: PA-DAX 15m

Product page: https://market.prorealcode.com/product/profitalgos-dax-15m/

 

Snapshot (from the live PRT “Gain” dashboard)

 

Total P/L (net on this account): +€6,145.50

 

Profit factor: 1.47 (≈ €19,098.40 / €12,952.90)

 

Win rate: 73.33% (99 winners, 36 losers; 135 trades total)

 

Average P/L per trade: +€45.52

 

Max drawdown on this account: –€1,403.60

 

Time in market: 28.24%

 

Avg orders executed/day: 0.19

 

Losing streaks: never more than 3 months in a row so far

 

 

> The account has produced 500%+ return since launch. From Dec 19, 2022 → today, that’s roughly ~2.85 years of live trading.

CAGR estimate:

• If total return ≈ +500% (6×), CAGR ≈ ~87%/yr

• If total return ≈ +550% (6.5×), CAGR ≈ ~92%/yr

 

 

 

(CAGR = (Ending/Starting)^(1/years) − 1. Dates per the screenshots.)

 

Why we left it untouched

 

We prefer to validate robustness rather than chase a few extra percent by re-optimizing.

 

Accepting normal variance (including red months) has paid off: so far we’ve never seen more than 3 consecutive red months, and the long-term curve is intact.

 

 

Risk & behavior

 

Drawdown has been manageable relative to return (see max DD above).

 

Exposure is low (time in market ~28%), which helps with diversification and capital efficiency.

 

Trade frequency is modest (0.19 orders/day on average), making slippage and operational risk easier to control.

 

 

Transparency

 

The numbers above are directly from ProRealTime on the live account (screen captures attached).

 

No parameter changes, no cherry-picking. It’s the same strategy from day one.

Happy to answer questions on:

 

Interpreting the PRT stats (profit factor vs. win rate trade-offs)

 

Portfolio placement / capital allocation ideas

 

Handling losing streak psychology (and why we focus on streak length rather than just single bad months)
