Micro track · for prop-firm accounts

Built for
the $2K limit.

A $50K evaluation account is not a $50K account. It is a trailing drawdown limit of about $2,000 with $50,000 written on the front. Every engine here trades micro contracts — MNQ, MES and MGC — and is sized and tested against that limit rather than against the headline number.

Each one is a separate strategy on its own account. Correlations can change and more than one engine can lose on the same day; the correlation page counts how often that happened in the published record rather than describing it.

$97 a month less than buying every engine on this track separately — $1,164 a year.

Every micro engine on offer, licensed together as one system — plus the playbook for running them: which engine on which account, at which firm, and what a normal losing month looks like.

Each engine trades one instrument on one account, and we do not run two engines from the same instrument family at one firm — prop-firm rules regarding hedging, correlated positions, automated trading and multiple accounts vary and may change, so read your own firm's rulebook before you deploy.

The numbers are on their own pages

Every backtested figure, every losing month and every individual trade is published where you can argue with it.

How to start

  1. One engine, one SIM account. Run it on simulation on your own platform, data feed and connection before any account is at risk.
  2. Compare it to the published record. Every engine writes a per-trade file. Set it against the same days on the calendar page and see whether your fills line up.
  3. Add the second engine on a different market. Not more size — a different instrument. Using different markets may provide diversification benefits, although correlations can change and multiple strategies may experience losses at the same time.
  4. Widen from there, one account at a time. Which accounts you use — evaluation, funded, or your own capital — is your call. I run these across my own prop accounts.

Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Nothing here is a promise that you profit or that you pass an evaluation.

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE — NO ACTUAL TRADING

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN; IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK OF ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT TRADING RESULTS.

Every figure on this page attributed to our own engines comes from backtests produced in the NinjaTrader® Strategy Analyzer. No orders were executed in a funded account and no money was at risk. Results are one contract per account, net of commission as charged by the platform and one full tick of slippage on every contract on every trade. Simulated figures are labeled as simulations where they appear. Tick Replay: Iris is backtested with NinjaTrader® Tick Replay enabled, so entries and exits are evaluated tick by tick inside each bar instead of at bar boundaries — the most precise fill simulation the platform offers. Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss.
