Performance
The honest scoreboard: does TELYQRA beat simply buying the S&P 500, after all costs? This is the record that decides when it's ready for real money.
Return vs the S&P 500
Return over the period, after all trading costs. Dashed line: buying the S&P 500 instead.
The chart fills in as the auto-trader records account values (every 5 minutes while the market is open, every 30 minutes otherwise).
Ready for real money?
- ✔ The plan: at least 6 months of paper results before any real money.
- ✔ It must beat the S&P 500 after costs over that period, not just make money.
- ✔ Win rate alone isn't enough: look at the profit factor (above 1.3 is decent) and the worst drawdown.
- ✔ The prediction scorecard should show signals right more often than chance (50%).
- ✔ Then tax and legal advice, an independent review, and a small live trial with your approval on every trade.
