This trend-following strategy, with steady long positions and quick shorts, fits perfectly into the NASDAQ market. The long operations last around 1’5 days in average, and the short operations around 7 hours.
Special trailing stop behaviour and multiple controls made this strategy a solid and reliable system, shielded for any condition. Always with breakeven protection and trailing stop, there are different kind of exit rules.
Over time, this system brings very profitable long positions and with quick protection in short positions.
Market and TimeFrame: Strategy designed to be used in NASDAQ in a TimeFrame of 10 minutes. Results are shown using the “US Tech 100 Cash” product at 1€ per point.
Stop Loss: Always. Maximum of 2%. It can be different for long and short. BreakEven protection is enabled by default.
Profit handling: Trailing Stop by blocks based on ATR and exit with profits in case of a strong trend change. Depending on the trend, it’s possible that the system closes half position to ensure profits.
Don’t be fooled: Backtest results are shown for 1 contract at € 1 per point. Only 1 position at a time; without martingales, cumulating orders or big sizing. Profit reinvestment is disabled by default and configurable (backtest or official results do not use reinvestment; instances in real shown sometimes use it). Different configurations are available, with visible and non-obfuscated code. Showing here screenshots with visible ProRealTime windows headers, distinguishing between backtest, real and demo in each case (avoid screens without headers and quick photoshops 🏴☠️). Available versioning and results full information in our website and groups, with full tracking.
Extras: Delivered to be used out-of-the-box (only check the desired sizing and timezone). Money Management and Drawdown control modules are available.
ADVISE: For CFD, if you recently opened your trading account, you may get an error “trailing stop is not compatible with your account” when launching any system. That’s because you have a “limited risk” account. Please contact your broker’s support, preferably by phone, requesting to unblock your account. The problem will disappear after unblock your account and restart ProRealTime.

Note the different scale between profit and the market price. The software matches the last value, but the left scale is profit, and the right one is the market price.
We do not make-up drawdowns, big gains need drawdowns. Avoid magic systems and ratios, don’t be fooled. Our results show always results in Out Of Sample considering always the publication date of each version. Some studies or comparisons could use the last version, but we do not make-up past results with the new versions or optimizations, our official results tables and publications always show the real results)
All our algos have a max 2% Stop Loss (or less), a money management system and a configurable drawdown limit to protect capital in the worst of cases. All images show results with 1 contract configuration.
This algo is delivered to be used “out-of-the-box”, not recommended any change even in changing circumstances. Let us do the best for you, if the strategy has to be updated, we will do it after the corresponding study and period in real in our accounts before distributing it

Ik heb het Talos systeem sinds eind 2021 gevolgd. Bepaalde periodes werkt het systeem goed. Vooral als er over een langere periode een positieve trend zichtbaar is. Het nadeel van dit systeem is dat het in de verlies trades veel meer verliest, dan dat er winst gemaakt wordt in de positieve trades. Op zich geen probleem als het aantal positieve trades veel groter is dan het aantal negatieve trades. Dat bleek niet het geval. Daarnaast werd er ook veel geld verloren met trades die op dikke winst stonden, maar waarbij het systeem een stop loss had op grote afstand en daardoor een groot deel van de winst uiteindelijk weer verloor. Vooral in de periodes van trendomkeer of daling, worden er weinig positieve trades gemaakt en zijn de verliezen maximaal. Uiteindelijk ben ik gestopt aangezien het systeem bijna al mijn inleg had opgemaakt. Geen cent verdient aan het systeem!!

I have been a customer since 2020 and Talos is one of the most profitable systems I have rented! Very stable algo!

A reliable system that performs in such a volatile index.

Very good robot with hindsight on its results. The program is updated by the creators as needed. There’s also very good follow-up after purchase.

I have been a client of this provider for more than a year with several of their system.
I decided to pick the one that seems to be the most promising, and I ran it live nonstop from April 2022 to Mid-November 2022. In contrast to what the provider claims, the results have been average, and I’m a bit disappointed.
Profit for the 7 months has been 571 euros. Do your math, but depending on how much you pay to run the system, it may just be profitable.
I run the system with a size of 0.5 which, of course, is small. Running the same system with bigger size would make the system more profitable, but this comes with a drawback that is not compatible with my trading style.
The reason for this is that the % of winning trades is high, but winners are often small, e.g. between 10 and 50 euros. Then a loss arises of 100 euros or more. Which means that often 3 winners are needed just to compensate the last loss.
On the positive side, the provider is very responsive and open to comments and questions. This is highly appreciated.

After 3 weeks of running this algo, the annual subscription has already been paid back and from now on it’s pure profits. Support is also highly appreciated: you are never left alone with your doubts and your algo and you can ask any question you want.

I have been running this since September 2021 and it has consistently performed well. This is the only commercial algo I currently run having been stung by other algos.
Highly recommend it… running at 2 GBP per point has won 3000 GBP in less than 2 months (19-Apr-2022 to 10-June-2022).

I started using Talos NAS since 06/22/2021, it is now 08/26/2021 and already 1150 profit points. This algorithm is very promising with a very controlled drawdown.
