Introducing AEME — our newest NQ/MNQ strategy, and how we're rolling it out
We're happy to introduce the newest addition to the Volturon suite: AEME, short for Acceptance-Energy Market Engine. It trades NQ and MNQ on NinjaTrader 8, and the name says what it does — it measures the energy behind an unusual price move, then judges whether the market accepts that move and continues, or rejects it and reverses.
We put AEME through a four-year backtest on a single NQ contract, with commissions and two ticks of slippage already taken out. A few things stood out, and they're worth sharing plainly:
- A profit factor of 1.69 and a win rate near 57 percent.
- Every calendar year from 2022 through 2026 was profitable — and the strongest years were the most recent ones, not the oldest.
- It earns on both the long and the short side, so it isn't simply riding the market higher.
- The deepest equity dip across the full four years stayed under 6,800 on one contract.
That's a strong backtest and we're proud of it. But a backtest is history, and we won't pretend otherwise. Here's how we're handling it, and what we ask of you.
We are running AEME in simulation in our own accounts before we put real money behind it, and we encourage you to do exactly the same. Load it on a 10-minute chart in sim, on your own broker and data feed and watch how it behaves for yourself — especially the fill quality on entries, which is where live trading and a backtest are most likely to part ways. We would rather you reach your own conclusion from your own results than take our numbers on faith.
Two notes on expectations. AEME's gains arrive in bursts, not as steady daily income, so it's best judged by the week and the month rather than any single day. And like everything we build, it's designed to work as part of a diversified suite, not to carry an account on its own. Capital preservation comes first; growth follows.
Attached you'll find the AEME user guide covering setup, settings, the trading schedule, and the complete performance breakdown, along with a separate tear sheet. The defaults are the tested configuration, so there's nothing to tune to match what we've shown. Download the AEME strategy here.
As always, reach out with any questions — on licensing, setup, or anything that looks off in your own results. We're always happy to help.
