" Base hits add up" - @JamesBruce131 2026
Decent start to the month after a rocky end to the last. But there's no point dwelling on what you can't change, just focus on being better every single day.
Steady day in the futures today, slowly clawing my way back after a rough start to the new 150K funded account with @TopOneFutures this week.
Sizing up takes some adjustment, but slow and steady wins the race.
Base hits add up!
Built a fully systematic intraday portfolio on CL futures today. Been playing around with some quant trading stuff while markets have been quiet. Results may not seem too impressive yet, but bear in mind:
- No optimisation
- No stop losses
- No filters
Just raw intraday bias across 17 years of 1-minute data.
Documenting the whole build, strategies, validation, robustness, eventually live deployment.

Well got to take the good with the bad. Started the day off well during London 2/2.
Come New York took a short play in the ES and oversized and got burnt. Took another trade long in NQ also got burnt. Ended up positive on one account and negative on another.
Absolute mayhem in Weekend Nifty 50 Index.
A brutal 49% crash from 23700+ 12000.
Either the market knows something very big or this is one of the wildest panics ever seen.
