Default MTP - Performance Metrics

I thought I would share with all of you the results of using MTP to trade an account with a starting equity of $20,000 (real money!). This account is part of a much larger portfolio and my aim was to see what kind of performance metrics the latest version of MTP would generate under strictly defined conditions enforced over a specific period of time. Here is a description of the conditions:

Equity Size: $ 20,000

Start Date: 06/25/2007

End Date: 07/20/2007

Contracts Traded: Mini Dow, Emini Russell 2000, Emini NASDAQ 100

Time Frames Traded: 3 min and 5min Time Frames

MTP Version: Latest Real-time version of MTP

Platform: Ninja Trader with Market Analyzer for monitoring potential trades in different time frames

Data feed: From TradeStation 8.3

Broker: All trades were executed via Interactive Brokers.

Types of Trades Taken: TS1, TS2, TS3, TS4, Auto DP trades

Risk Management: strictly according to the MTP generated real-time recommendations

Amount Risked per trade: 2% of the total equity

Position Sizing: strictly according to the MTP generated real-time recommendations

Trade Management: according to the June 1st Guidelines (please see Steve’s “Introduction to MTPredictor” document)

Trade Analysis: By Market System Analyzer (MSA - version 2)

Limitation: Between 06/25/2007 and 07/20/2007, due a variety of reasons, I was able to trade on nine trading days only.

Details of the analysis may be found in the pdf file attached to this message.

Even with a limited number of trades executed over a very short period of time, the robustness of MTP as a trading tool and the validity of its trading approach (based on positive expectancy and rigorous risk control and position sizing) are, in my view, well illustrated by its performance metrics. I will be extending this project and continue to collect trading stats for future analysis.

Rama.
