Dude gotta get some calls at 10 ET hoping it moons until FOMC. Gonna get some MU and QQQ calls. Do you’ll think it’s a good shot?

Mostly a lurker here, first time posting. I run a small deterministic system: six strategies vote, one execution a day at 15:45 ET, paper only. 32 trading days so far: +0.77% cumulative, 6.36% annualized, Sharpe 1.19, t-stat 0.42. Turnover is 85x a year, so at 5bps the cost model eats 4.24% annually. Average exposure came in at 26.9%. The lesson so far: my Sharpe looked fine and my t-stat said it wasn't. I spent the first month optimizing the strategy and the second month discovering that the cost assumption was doing more work than the signal was. For the people who have been at this longer than me: what is your bar for "this is real" before you risk anything? Sample size, t-stat, out-of-sample length, or something else entirely?

Party 'till 2:30pm ET tomorrow. Then cry a little

I got curious and backtested this on the Nasdaq 100 CFD (5-minute candles, 2021–2026, spread and financing included). **Your 1,047 trades are a solid sample, and mine also made money, just less.** My best month, January 2026, went 21 trades, 62% won, £2.76 won per £1 lost, but the full record decides. **As posted, it barely made money.** First break of the 9:30–9:45 range, opposite-side stop, range-sized target, one trade a day: +69%, a 15% worst drop, 28 of 61 months losing. Reading the entry or stop differently changed little. **Tuning didn't help.** \+54% on tuning months, +1.6% on unseen months. **A trend filter looked best, but faded.** Only trading with the hourly 200 EMA: +81% and an 8% drop on tuning months, +2% on unseen months. Likely fitted to the past. || || |As posted|all months|\+69%|£1.09|15%| |Tuned|tuning months|\+54%|£1.09|12%| |Tuned|**unseen months**|\+1.6%|£1.03|13%| |\+ hourly trend filter|tuning months|\+81%|£1.18|8%| |\+ hourly trend filter|**unseen months**|\+2%|£1.05|11%| *Tuning months = the data the settings were picked on. Unseen months = held back, never used to pick them.* On the different-market question: even recently, the edge looks thin under a tight trailing drawdown. One caveat: I had to assume a few things (a 9:30 ET range, the stop at the range's far side, a CFD instead of futures). If your version is different, tell me and I'll re-run it with your exact rules.

Friday at 2 ET, I'm expecting half of Wall Street to get instantly melted. Either I'm a multi-millionaire by the end of Nov, or I'm still eating instant noodles and eggs. Hedgies fail to understand. There is no risk.

Do you want your account value to be based on yesterday's close? Yesterday's open? Some close last week? The "best" price is the one that someone paid for it, whenever that happened. Why do you want values based on stale data? As more stocks move to more hours of the day, the old 4PM ET number becomes more and more arbitrary, not reality.

Where are you where the time stamp is 11:47 PM on 10/27/2026 when your post went up at 2:00 PM ET on 10/27/2026?

what do you mean? check the volume post 1pm ET. was barely doing a little over 200k an hour till the last 15 mins before market closed.

Isreali polls close at 4pm ET. Exit polls out shortly afterwards (although final results can take a couple days). Pretty sure bibi is going to lose, and I think it will have a positive impact on brent futures. Bibi wanted to restart the war last week to disrupt the election, and that I am sure is also the reason trump has been pounding war drums again causing oil to shoot up, but his orders were reported rejected by the IDF chief as politically driven This + no surprise rate change tomorrow + a strong beat by Intel on thursday could potentially pull us up to the 600s again before earnings. I am hopeful at least

Entering around 11:30 to 12:30 ET puts you right in the midday volume lull where spreads widen and fakeouts happen a lot. Try checking if your live fills are slipping more than your backtest assumed during lunch hours.

MPLX is great but only if its in a retirement account because it issues a K1 which is pain at tax time. I sold my MPLX and ET because it was in a brokerage account and bought MLPX which is an etf that hold MPLX but issues a standard 1099

FOMC is tomorrow, statement at 2:00 pm ET. I pulled the hourly candle that opens with the statement for each 2026 meeting and measured high to low on gold (OANDA XAUUSD via TradingView). quite interesting data: Jan 28: $62.8 · Mar 18: $47.0 · Apr 29: $34.7 · Jun 17: $109.3 · Jul 29: $67.3 · Sep 16: $110.2 Median $65. Why I look at size: $50 on 1 lot of gold is 5% of a 100k account, a common daily loss limit on prop accounts. Four of the six first hours were above that, and June and September were more than twice it. This says nothing about direction, only about size. It is the full high-low range, so it is the worst case for someone on the wrong side without a stop. Six meetings is a small sample, and spreads widen at the release. How do you handle it: flat before the statement, smaller size, or wider stops? let me know.
