GC Stack

GC pack: Coral MA Cross + RSI2 COMEX Reclaim + Elder Force Index. In-sample best of 57 subsets — and a result that is almost entirely year 2 (year 1 was flat). KAMA, McGinley and EMA Ribbon are single strategies, not in the pack.

Last validated: 2026-10-16 (baseline) · weekly validation · billing not open: join the waitlist.

Year 1 made only $460 (PF 1.01); year 2 made $95,300 (PF 2.40) — 99.5% of the profit. Gold's profit is almost all in year 2 (Coral lost $4,710 in year 1; the conservative Coral + G4 pair lost $3,730). It is a 2026-weighted result in a strong gold run, ranked from 57 subsets on the same window. Coral, Elder and KAMA share many identical trades (Coral and Elder 47), so adding more crosses makes it worse — all four exported crosses earn less than Coral + Elder. Every member is single-timeframe or a small sample; no robustness checks have been run.

Set: GC Stack: Coral + G4 RSI2 + Elder Force. One position at a time, earliest entry wins; closed-trade basis; backtest, hypothetical, in-sample. TV4REAL's recommended GC set (any priority order — GC strategies share one stop/target/trail template, so order does not change the totals). In-sample best of 57 subsets (41 under the DD cap). Year 1 was flat: 99.5% of profit came in year 2. Taken trades (the split between strategies depends on priority order; GC totals do not): GC Coral MA Cross 86 ($64,060); GC RSI2 Reclaim 35 ($14,045); GC Elder Force 139 ($17,655).

Includes Tier B (fragile) strategies — flagged on their pages and in the table.

Max DD is TradingView's headline figure per 1 full-size contract (≈ = rounded 'about' value); year splits are from the saved trade lists (net / PF). Mechanics: one position at a time, first come first served; priority only breaks ties (and GC totals do not depend on priority at all).

GC strategies not in the pack

Available as single strategies. KAMA and McGinley are the same adaptive-moving-average family as Coral and add little in stacks; G5 never improves a set and adds year-1 losses. The conservative option, Coral + G4 (PF 2.59, DD $6,450, 126 trades), lost $3,730 in year 1.

  • Written rules for every member strategy; follow-along posts with a skipped-setup log
  • Weekly validation report; monthly stack update
  • Discord role for this stack
Read this first. Backtest only — no live or forward results. One 2-year window (2024-09-23 to 2026-09-23), a strongly rising market, and the strategies were selected on the same data (selection bias). Profit skews to year 2. Fills assume entry at bar close. No robustness checks (neighbor timeframes, parameter nudges) have been completed yet. Tier B strategies are flagged fragile. Expect live results to be worse.
Risk disclosure. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. All strategy results shown are hypothetical / backtested and have inherent limitations: they do not reflect actual trading and are designed with the benefit of hindsight. There are no live or forward results. Past performance does not guarantee future results. No guarantee of profit is made or implied.
