[00:56] simulate this out since January 1st. First trade is a loser, a winner, a First trade is a loser, a winner, a winner, a loser, win, loss, win, loss. And I'm just going to time-lapse this for now.
[01:21] So, as you can see, after the entire year, we have 36 trades with a 55.6% win rate and a return of 26.52%. Meaning that our account went from Meaning that our account went from 100,000 to $126,522.
[01:33] You cannot make that much investing in the stock market. The markets on average return 10% annually. This gave us a profit factor of 2.5. Six consecutive wins and four consecutive losses, which is not bad because most people get
[01:47] deterred by a strategy when they see a lot of consecutive losses. This will keep you mentally strong cuz you'll only have a draw down of about 4%. Now, this indicator is called Aurora. It's by the trading floor. Not only does it give you
[02:00] a buy or sell signal, it also shows you your takerit and your stop-loss. This is on gold on a 15-minute time frame. And the results, as you can see, for the last year, are absolutely stellar. And the greatest thing about this, and like
[02:14] genuinely the greatest thing, if you want to trade this manually using this indicator, feel free. But if you don't have the time to sit on the charts and get every single entry exactly as it happens, you can actually automate this
[02:27] strategy with the trading floor. They have an entire interface where you set up all your accounts, turn on the automation, and then just let it fly. So, if you've always wanted to trade gold but always been scared to try this,
[02:40] even on a demo account for a month, I promise it's worth your time. Now, I back of your head, what the hell is this rapid fire trading simulator? This is a part of the Trading Floors web app. And it's just one of the features, but one

[03:06] view. Show you all the relevant statistics like your total wins, max consecutive wins, max consecutive losses, how much percentage you've gained on the account, as well as your win rate. I use this thing constantly
