my research engine tests 1000s of futures strategies, 99% fail. I trade the best on prop accounts and share free strategy code 👇

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

About 2 months ago I started building my own research engine. It searches the internet for strategies, then either tests them exactly as described or uses them as a template and tries to improve them. I can also drop in a strategy template or any idea people share, on X for example, and it’ll work from that.

About 99% of what it finds doesn’t work.

This one isn’t the sexiest strategy and it’s not fully validated yet, but it shows what AI can do now. I didn’t touch it or tell the AI anything about how to build it. It made the whole thing on its own.

Pretty amazing time we live in honestly.

@mweinbach the Duet waitlist is turning into a forward test of everyones patience

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@rijhwanisheetal 8 is the big one. if a backtest only works because of its top 5 trades it was luck, not an edge

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@PovilasKorop 71 hours on a demo project. the agent forgot, you forgot, only the CPU remembered 😂

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@ripster47 having a system is step one. step two is backtesting it with costs in, thats where most of the ideas i test die

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@SJosephBurns The turtle rules have been public for years and most people still cant follow them. writing a system is the easy part, sitting through the drawdowns is where it falls apart

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@swyx the trades you didnt take always have the best equity curve.

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@clenow people who earn from them defend them. agree the fees from failed evals is the business model.

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

Everyone's hating on this prop firm and that prop firm

Then you actually read the rules on some of them:

Don't lose more than $2,500
Don't make too much in one day either
Don't trade news
Don't hold over the weekend
Don't copy trade
Don't be too consistent
Don't be inconsistent

Good luck 🫡

@SoulzBTC would love the same examples with a fill rate next to them. most FVG videos only show the ones that worked 😄

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@ai_for_success same thing in strategy research imo. a strict pass/fail gate does more than a fancy pipeline, most ideas die at the gate anyway

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@DailyProfilerCo half might be generous honestly. especially on IG its more like 99%

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

A reel on IG said that the "correct" ORB range is 9:15 to 9:30, not 9:30 to 9:45. So I had to test it on NQ.

Same rules, same $5,000 risk per trade, costs in, January 2021 to October 2026.

9:30 range: +$467,300, profit factor 1.15.
9:15 range: +$199,956, profit factor 1.04, and the $100k account went to -$58,940 along the way.

The pre-market range is narrower, so the same risk buys about 3x the contracts. Costs went from $98,990 to $291,594.

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@PropFirmsCmpd yeah the combo is the problem. a daily profit cap plus a consistency rule can kill a strategy that would pass either one alone

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@emollick if they cant forecast that I should probably stop asking them where NQ closes on friday 😅

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@RealSPXSniper 29 point gap with a $28 straddle so the gap alone is already a full expected move. do you fade those or ride them?

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@henry_es_f Grok is the goat

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@c_h_i_m pretty much yeah. and somewhere in there is a rule you only find out about when the payout gets denied 🫡

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@0x_PapaG appreciate it. if you see any other "correct" rule like that and want it tested just tag me and ill do it 😀

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@bulenoxofficial appreciate that, thanks for actually listening. even 2 payout days a week would make a big difference

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@DailyProfilerCo had to test it, the reel had a lot of likes and no backtest so someone had to do it

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@emollick black box trading bots has the same problem. if you cant see why it took the trade you either trust it fully or turn it off, not much in between

[PropQuantX @PropQuantX]

@zerohedge my NQ bots dont care which AI narrative wins they just need it to move
