Futures Trading Strategy F100: Swing Trade Nasdaq100, S&P500 and Dow Jones

The Futures Trading strategy works best for Nasdaq, SP500, and Dow Jones futures. It’s a mean reversion strategy, but you can apply the code for many other futures contracts.

The backtest is done using Tradestation data from Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on continuous and back-adjusted data and using exchange hours (0930-1600 NYT).

The backtest trades at the close, is based on daily bars, and is from the contract’s inception until today. The strategy can also be traded on tomorrow’s open, but performs slightly worse with this setting.
