Storm is a fully rules-based NQ futures algorithm. This is its Mar 20 – Jun 10, 2026 result, exported straight from the platform — proven, not promised.
Set your balance below and the same proven setup runs three ways — conservative, balanced, aggressive — with drawdown measured against your capital.
Storm treats every day as a fixed sequence — it observes, waits for alignment, then shuts the book before the bell. The order is the strategy.
Builds the day's structural reference zones from live intraday structure. No trades — just reading the tape.
Convergence-based entries run continuously. Every condition must agree or the trade is rejected. Selectivity is the edge.
Hard session end flattens everything. No overnight exposure, no gap risk. Tomorrow opens on a clean slate.
All three columns are the identical Storm setup — only the position size changes. Profit factor, win rate and trade count stay the same; the dollars and drawdown scale with size. Set your balance above and the table follows.
| Metric | Conservative | Balanced ⭐ | Aggressive |
|---|
The lightest position — about half the standard size — for the shallowest drawdown and the most room to ride out a rough stretch. Same Storm setup as every tier.
Roughly one micro per $10,000 of account — the recommended starting point. The proven Storm setup at its baseline sizing, the level most accounts should run.
Double the standard size — the most return and the deepest drawdown. For accounts deliberately sized to absorb the swing. Same Storm setup, dialed all the way up.

It's the story almost every funded trader knows: clear the challenge, then lose the account on one overnight gap, one revenge-trade spiral, or one oversized day. Storm runs a reduced, rules-based size built for the hard part — keeping the account, with consistency and predictability instead of heroics.
Hard session close — no overnight holds, no gap risk against your trailing drawdown
Convergence-only entries — no revenge trading after a red trade
Runs at a reduced micro size — often just 1 MNQ — keeping Storm's ~$890 drawdown well under your firm's trailing limit (typically ~3–5%, e.g. ~$2K on a $50K, ~$3K on a $100K)
