SP500 Index Combo Strategy
This robust trading system integrates a sophisticated combination of strategies, enabling it to adapt and perform well across various market conditions.
This trading strategy was extensively backtested from the inception of SPY (S&P 500 Index ETF) until today (1993–2023). The backtest performance demonstrated outstanding results in terms of profitability, risk control, and an acceptable drawdown. To further validate the strategy, it was forward-tested in a live account for one year (June 1, 2023 – May 31, 2024), yielding stable and profitable performance.
The strategy is entirely mechanical—entry and exit orders are dictated by the algorithm. Traders can easily follow the signals generated by the strategy manually or in autotrading mode via Collective2. The performance results are shown below.
