Welcome to xBrat Software Solutions, where we simplify automated trading strategies. In this recap, Paul combines the VWAP Predator ASB with the Range Breakout ASB on Copper futures using NinjaTrader.
You’ll see how he builds, tests, and tweaks automated strategies based on real market behavior—not just backtesting stats.
Quick Setup: Copper on VWAP & Breakout Tools
Paul sets up side-by-side charts for Copper:
- 10-min Range Breakout defines session ranges.
- 5-min VWAP Predator captures short-term momentum bursts.
Together, they cover both structure and momentum, adapting to different conditions. Each strategy is fine-tuned with expiry rules, scaling, and trailing stops.
Best Trade Windows: When to Activate VWAP Predator
Using the strategy performance report, Paul identifies winning time blocks:
- 5:30–5:55 AM EST
- 8:00–9:30 AM EST
- 10:30–12:00 PM EST
He filters out all other hours to keep the system focused on high-probability trades.
Visual Backtesting: Why Charts Still Matter
Rather than trusting stats alone, Paul reviews trade charts:
- Filters out trades near support/resistance
- Adjusts min range from 15 to 18 ticks
- Confirms behavior patterns and missed opportunities
This helps cut out weak setups while preserving quality trades.
Final Tweaks: Risk Filters & Strategy Saves
Paul adds smart filters:
- Max bars to entry: no delayed breakouts
- P&L protection: stop trading after 1 loss/day
- Aggressive trailing stops to lock in large moves
Results:
- 78% win rate
- Max drawdown: 517
