A systematic, rule-based approach to trading NQ futures with proven results spanning 6 years (5 years backtested + 1 year live)
The Amber strategy is a fully automated EasyLanguage trading system designed specifically for NQ (E-mini NASDAQ-100) futures. Developed and refined over multiple market cycles, this strategy uses a unique weekday-specific optimization approach where each trading day (Monday through Friday) has its own finely-tuned parameters.
This innovative approach recognizes that market behavior varies by day of the week. Monday's market dynamics differ from Wednesday's, which differ from Friday's. By optimizing parameters for each weekday separately, Amber adapts to these cyclical patterns while maintaining the same core logic across all days.
Unlike discretionary approaches that rely on emotion and subjective interpretation, Amber uses objective, rules-based signals to enter and exit trades. This systematic approach ensures consistency and removes the psychological challenges that plague most traders.
Only 26% time in market. The strategy waits patiently for high-probability setups rather than forcing trades.
60.0% win rate with 1.85 profit factor (after costs) means the strategy makes $1.85 for every $1 risked over the long term.
Built-in stop losses and position sizing rules protect capital while allowing profits to run on winning trades.
EasyLanguage script handles everything - signal generation, order placement, and trade management - no manual intervention required.
Amber combines three proven technical indicators into a cohesive system. Each component serves a specific purpose, and all must align for a trade signal to be generated.
The Supertrend indicator identifies the prevailing trend using dynamic upper and lower bands calculated from the median price and ATR (Average True Range). When price crosses above the upper band, the trend is bullish. When price crosses below the lower band, the trend is bearish.
Note: The Supertrend length and multiplier are optimized separately for each weekday and for long vs. short setups.
A fast Exponential Moving Average confirms price momentum. For long trades, price must be above the EMA. For short trades, price must be below the EMA. This ensures we're trading with momentum, not against it. Period length is optimized separately for each weekday.
The Average Directional Index (ADX) measures trend strength. Amber requires ADX to be within specific thresholds (not too weak, not too strong) and rising. This filters out choppy markets and ensures we enter when trends are developing, not exhausted.
All of the following conditions must be true simultaneously for a trade entry:
Each trade has three possible exit scenarios:
Calculated as Entry Price ± (ATR × Stop Loss Multiplier). This limits maximum loss on any single trade. The ATR-based approach adapts to current volatility - wider stops in volatile markets, tighter in quiet markets.
Calculated as Entry Price ± (ATR × Take Profit Multiplier). Locks in gains when price reaches the target. The profit target is typically larger than the stop loss, ensuring positive risk-reward ratios.
All positions are closed by a specific time each day (varies by weekday). This prevents holding positions overnight and reduces gap risk. The strategy starts fresh each trading session.
Each trading day has independently optimized parameters:
This weekday optimization was derived from analyzing 6 years of NQ futures data (2020-2025) and identifying repeating patterns based on day of the week.
The Amber strategy is delivered as a complete EasyLanguage script compatible with TradeStation and MultiCharts. The code is professionally written, well-commented, and optimized for performance.
The strategy is designed to run on standard intraday NQ charts with specific bar intervals. Once loaded and configured, it can be set to auto-execute trades or simply generate visual signals for manual execution.
In TradeStation or MultiCharts, go to File → Import → EasyLanguage and select the provided .ELD file. The strategy and all required functions will be automatically imported into your platform.
Create a new chart for the @NQ symbol with the recommended bar interval and session times. Detailed chart settings are provided in the installation documentation.
Right-click the chart, select Insert Strategy, and choose "Amber" from the list. Use the default parameters initially - these are the settings that produced the verified results.
If you want fully automated trading, enable Strategy Automation in your platform settings. The strategy will then automatically submit orders to your broker when signals are generated.
Track your live performance and compare to the verified results. The strategy handles all trade management, but you should monitor your account for any platform-related issues or connectivity problems.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. While the Amber strategy has demonstrated consistent profitability across verified trades spanning 6 years (5 years backtested + 1 year live), all trading involves risk. Market conditions can change, and drawdowns are a normal part of systematic trading.
The verified results include slippage (0.01%) and commissions ($2 per NQ contract, $0.4 per MNQ contract) to provide realistic expectations. Your actual results may vary based on execution quality, broker commissions, and market conditions.
We recommend starting with paper trading or small position sizes to verify the strategy operates correctly in your specific platform and broker environment before scaling up to full size.
