The session concluded with the algos drawing down -0.21% off the cumulative total P&L, translating to a loss of $-1,693.54. Despite a commendable 63.6% win rate from 22 trades taken, the overall results were hampered by substantial drawdowns, with gross losses amounting to $3,648.04, which constituted 65.1% of total gross profit and loss. The profit factor for the day stood at 0.54, suggesting that the average loser at $-456.00 significantly outweighed the average winner of $+139.61.
News headlines from Iran added to market volatility, particularly with statements from the Iranian foreign ministry regarding the continuation of oil sanctions and the commitment to lifting restrictions within a 60-day timeframe. These geopolitical tensions, coupled with uncertainty ahead of today's Federal Reserve announcements and economic projections, left traders cautious. The anticipated Federal Funds Rate is expected to hold steady at 3.75%, a factor contributing to the current chop in the AI Regime, which has a 100.0% confidence reading.
Recommendations for the algos included activating trailing stops on certain trades, particularly the [Sim101ES813C], given its high regret rate on stop losses. Additionally, a daily loss limit was proposed to mitigate risks associated with high drawdowns, such as the average daily loss of $1,077.08 observed. Early morning entry times were flagged as significantly underperforming, with a 0% win rate, indicating that adjustments are paramount to optimize trading strategies.
Looking ahead, the algos are closely monitoring the outcomes of the Federal Open Market Committee's session today, particularly the FOMC economic projections and the subsequent press conference, as these developments may substantially impact market movements in the coming days.
