Documenting my algo trading journey: 4 MCX algos
After 5 months of building my own algo trading platform, I’m finally seeing consistent results. 🚀
I wanted to share a small milestone.
For the past 5 months, I’ve been building and refining my own trading platform after work- coding, backtesting, fixing bugs, and optimizing strategies.
There were plenty of late nights where I wasn’t sure if the effort would ever pay off.
Current setup:
4 MCX algos
2 for CrudeOilM
2 for NatGasMini
Results (1 lot each | Since 8 May):
🧿 8 profitable weeks in a row
❌ Zero losing weeks
🚀 Live deployment started 10 days ago
Capital: ₹76,000
Net Profit: ₹48,000
ROI: 60%
I know backtests aren’t the same as live trading, which is why I’ve already started deploying the strategies live. So far, it’s been encouraging and has given me confidence to keep improving.
Still a long way to go, but it’s satisfying to see months of hard work finally turning into something real.
Would love to hear from others building their own trading systems. What’s been the hardest part of your journey?
