EMP 1TO2
Stop guessing. Start running a system. A fully automated NQ futures algorithm that risks one to make two — built on published market research, tested on tick data, and proven on data it never saw.
Hypothetical backtest, NinjaTrader Strategy Analyzer, 1-tick data, 2 ticks of slippage on every fill, $6 commission per trade. Not a live account. Every metric →
The algorithmic approach
Discretion is the most expensive habit in trading.
Most traders don't lose because they lack ideas. They lose because they execute them differently every day — moving stops, skipping signals after a loss, doubling down after a win. An algorithm doesn't have a bad day. It takes the same trade, the same way, every time the conditions appear, and lets the statistics do the work.
EMP 1TO2 is that approach, packaged: a researched edge, a fixed risk on every trade, a target at twice that risk, and execution handled entirely by the platform. Your job moves from predicting the market to managing a system.
Research, not opinion
Built on intraday-momentum effects documented in peer-reviewed finance journals — then rebuilt for real execution.
Risk 1 to make 2
Every trade has its stop and its 2R target set at entry. You know the worst case before the order is placed.
Expectancy over win rate
It wins 42.0% of trades and only needs 36.0% to break even after costs. That gap is the edge.
Hands-off execution
Runs inside NinjaTrader on a 1-minute NQ or MNQ chart. Enable it, size it, and let it trade — no alerts to chase.
The backtest
Five years on 1-tick data
Cumulative net P&L at one NQ contract. The shaded region is the out-of-sample period — 461 trades the strategy was never developed on, $73,680 net.
*Partial year of recorded trades.
The maths
Why a 42% win rate wins
Profitability is win rate and payoff together. Move the sliders — then reset to EMP 1TO2's backtest figures.
The line is the win rate you need to break even at each payoff: WR* = 1 ÷ (1 + payoff). Win rate alone says nothing — a 40% system with 2× winners beats a 60% system with 0.5× winners.
