Backtesting my automated trading (Forward-testing now - Day 049)

Trade Idea

I am testing my automated trading strategy to scalp on the 5-min MES. Testing on 2 MES contracts with 2 TP, 1 SL. The SL moves to slightly above breakeven when 1st TP is hit.

Backtested from 2/2026 to a week into 04/2026. Been running on real-time MES data since 4/9/2026.
