Answer. Although we cannot provide financial advise, the examples shown had starting capital of $50,000 on the Mini-NQ. However, you can start with as little as $5,000 if you trade the Micro-NQ or MNQ because the point value is 1/10th the size. These figures are calculated by taking the max drawdown numbers and starting with at least double the highest historical max drawdown. This gives a good likelihood you will not need to put more capital into the account to keep the strategy trading.
Past performance cannot indicate future performance. Gains or losses in the market is unpredictable on smaller time frames. It is possible to either start during a run up and make money right away or start during a drawdown period. However, we see historically looking at the continuation strategy performance on a 6 month or yearly basis has a good statistical likelihood of obtaining profit in that timeframe. The continuation trade has been profitable year-over-year over 10+ Years. Given more time to trade gives more likelihood of obtaining profit, yet having a mindset of 6 months to a yearly profit with the continuation trade is a good mindset to have as you start this strategy.
As of now we have found that the strategy is not historically profitable during FOMC interest rate decision reports. The continuation trade is a trending strategy, and this report is one of the highest volatility reports that is released concerning interest rate projections. On these days we recommend turning the strategy off between 1 PM and 2:55 PM. Our analysis shows Excluding these days over the 12-year analysis period increases all the results of the continuation trade (above the posted results on this page).
There are a few economic report websites available today. We personally use www.fxstreet.com to view upcoming FOMC Interest rate decision reports and other high volatility reports release dates and times.
