Just a reminder that futures algotrading is meant to be a diversified alternative investment. Yes there are algotraders who rely on it as their full time source of income. But the fact that the drawdowns are uncorrelated to SPY, is the main advantage we have. As you can see from the side by side PNL comparison attached: - SPY has been on a bull run from April to September 2025 - While our portfolio has been sideways This signifies a weak correlation between the algos vs SPY Meaning strong diversification. I don't expect algos to save my entire portfolio. In fact a good portion of my portfolio is in stocks like NVDA, GOOG, SIL, GLD Side note: SIL is up 70% YTD. I'm kicking myself for not risking more. The core benefit of algotrading is diversification for well capitalized investors. Cuz the more capital you have to deploy, the more important capital preservation becomes. And the best way to preserve capital is to minimize drawdown + boost risk adjusted returns by diversifying into uncorrelated investments.
