As you may know, some MetaTrader-compatible Brokers offer trading not only on Currency Pairs, but on some Commodities and Indices as well, for example,
iTrade Capital Markets.
To check out a performance of V2Bot on S&P 500 Index, I've opened a Demo account with iTrade and let V2Bot do its magic. I wanted the trades to be different from what I recommend for FX market, so I've put V2Bot to the aggressive trading mode:
1. Time frame: M1. Yes, 1-minute chart!
2. Stop Loss = 250 (it's 2.5 points).
3. Minimum Profit Points = 150 (1.5 points)
4. Stop Step = 50 (0.5 points).
5. Maximum Lots = 4.
I wanted to make this account to look like a small investment, but the Broker server put $50,000 of virtual dollars on it despite of my choice of $3,000.
Anyway, I put the limitation of maximum 4 lots to be traded which makes margin requirement of $1,000 (initial margin for 1 lot is $250.00 there). So we can still think that I had account with $3,000.00 initially, as the system never traded more than one thousand.
Here are results of one day trading:
Total trades: 10
Winners: 8
Losers: 2
Winning trades: 80.00%
Total P/L: $770.00 (or 25.67% of $3,000 deposit).
Average P/L per trade: $77.00
So
the system made in one day twice what it costs.
Try it yourself and check that up.
One thing I should tell you: please try to disable the system to open new positions near the end of the day session, as the swaps there are huge.
Here are the details of the trades:
