US30 Trading Signals
Algorithmic Dow Jones signals on the US cash session
One rules-based algorithm trades the Dow Jones Industrial Average in the first part of the New York cash session and posts every setup to Telegram with an exact entry, a stop-loss and three take-profit targets. At most one trade a session, flat before the close. Over three years of 5-minute data it took 493 trades and made +23.0 R after spread and slippage.

Is the US30 edge real?
Every result is tested against the same trades taken in a random direction at the same cost, and the full portfolio comes out ahead by 0.089 R on every trade. Over three years of backtesting US30 made +23.0 R after trading costs across 493 trades. US30 is one part of a plan, and the plans are built to be traded whole. Each market tends to have its best runs at a different time, so their results add up: the edge comes from the sum of every trade a plan carries, across all of its instruments. To get the most from it, take every signal your plan sends, at the same risk.
- Premium (US500, US100, US30, USDJPY): 2,257 trades, +167.9 R after costs, +338% with profits compounded at 1% risk per trade.
- Diamond (DE40, US500, US100, US30, USDJPY): 2,787 trades, +215.1 R after costs, +576% with profits compounded at 1% risk per trade.

When US30 signals fire
The NYSE cash session runs from 09:30 to 16:00 New York time, 15:30 to 22:00 CET for most of the year. The first hour carries the heaviest volume outside the close, as 08:30 data and overnight news get priced into the blue chips.
Entry time
Half-hour buckets, New York time
Day of the week
Roughly the same number of trades every day
Holding time
From entry to the last position closing
A hundred trades is a small sample. A weekday or half-hour that looks weak here is most likely noise, not a rule to filter on, and the algorithm does not skip any of them. The holding-time split is different: it shows how the system makes money, by cutting losers early and letting the winners run.
What it costs to trade US30
A signal is only as good as the fill you get on it. These are the numbers to check against your own broker.
The median US30 stop was 115.5 points, about 0.27% of price. Measured against a stop that size, a 0.7-point spread is small: costs took 0.011 R per trade, the lowest of the four, and the result holds up to about 2.63 points of slippage per side.
US30 also had the shallowest drawdown of the four, 15.6 R. As on the other US indices, positions held for more than four hours made +90.8 R while trades closed within two hours lost −100.9 R.
What is the Dow Jones 30?
The Dow Jones Industrial Average tracks 30 large US blue-chip companies and dates back to 1896, the oldest of the major US benchmarks. Its members cover banking, healthcare, retail, industrials and technology.
The Dow is price-weighted: a member's influence depends on its share price, not on the size of the company, so a $500 share moves the index ten times as much as a $50 share. With the index in the tens of thousands of points, stops look large in points while being ordinary in percentage terms. Brokers quote the CFD as US30, DJ30 or WS30.

What moves the Dow Jones 30
US macro data
The jobs report and CPI at 08:30 New York, and the ISM surveys at 10:00, move the Dow inside the window the algorithm trades.
The Federal Reserve
Rate decisions at 14:00 New York; the banks in the index react directly to the path of rates.
High-priced members
Because the index is price-weighted, results from its highest-priced shares move it more than the size of those companies suggests.
The economic cycle
Industrials, banks and consumer names make the Dow more sensitive to growth expectations than to the tech trade.
Anatomy of a US30 signal
Every message carries the same five levels, so there is nothing to interpret. You decide whether to take it and how much to risk.
- One trade, three positions. Each opens at the same entry with the same stop and a different target: 1.5R, 2R and 2.5R. Taking partial profit on the way lets the last position run.
- The stop is where the idea is wrong. It is set for each trade, not as a fixed number of points. On US30 the median stop was 115.5 points, about 0.27% of price.
- R is the unit. 1R is what you lose if the stop is hit. Sizing each trade so 1R is a small, fixed share of your account keeps every signal the same size of bet, whatever the index is doing.
Representative levels built from the median US30 stop, not a real trade.
How to read these numbers
Backtest statistics are easy to quote and easy to misread. Here is what each one on this page means, using the figures for this market.
R: risk as the unit
1R is the amount lost if the stop is hit. A +2R trade made twice the risk; a −1R trade lost it. Measuring in R makes the results independent of account size and of how many dollars or euros one US30 point is worth.
Win rate needs the payoff
41.4% winners looks weak on its own. With an average winner of 1.2 R and an average loser of 0.76 R, the expectancy is 0.414 × 1.2 − 0.586 × 0.76 ≈ +0.047 R per trade.
Profit factor
Everything won divided by everything lost. 1.0 is breakeven. At 1.1, each 1R lost on US30 was matched by 1.1R won.
Drawdown
The largest fall from a running high: 15.6 R, bottoming on 2026-09-18. Risking 0.5% of the account per trade, that is roughly 8% of the balance. Size for the drawdown you can sit through, not the return you hope for.
Gross and net
Gross is before trading costs, net is after the spread on each entry and 0.20 points of slippage per side. On US30 costs took 5.3 R out of 28.3 R gross. Every figure here is net unless it says gross.
Sortino and Sharpe
Return per unit of volatility, from daily results annualised over 252 trading days. Sharpe counts all volatility; Sortino only the losing days. US30 scores 0.88 Sortino and 0.54 Sharpe on its own; combining markets raises both.

Get US30 signals on Telegram
US30 is in 2 plans. Each plan is a private Telegram channel; monthly or yearly, cancel anytime.
01How do US30 signals work?
Each US30 signal is posted to a private Telegram channel the moment the algorithm triggers. It gives the direction, the exact entry, a hard stop-loss and three take-profit targets at 1.5R, 2R and 2.5R, so one trade opens three positions. You place the orders with your own broker. Nothing is executed on your behalf.
02What time do US30 signals come?
During the US cash session, 09:30 to 16:00 New York time, which is 15:30 to 22:00 CET for most of the year. In the backtest 71% of US30 entries came before 11:00 New York, and everything is flat by 15:55.
03How many US30 signals are there per week?
About 3.1 trades a week on average, and never more than one per session: 493 trades over three years. The setup doesn't form every day, so quiet weeks are normal.
04Which plan includes US30 signals?
Premium ($99.99 a month) covers US500, US100 and US30 on the US session. Diamond ($129.99 a month) adds DE40 on the European open. Economic's only index is DE40, so it does not include US30. Every plan also carries the USDJPY Morning Range, a separate system.
The same algorithm on other indices
One system trades four indices across two sessions, and every plan also carries a separate USDJPY system. Compare the plans.
Backtested results are hypothetical and are not indicative of future performance. Index figures cover 2023-09-01 to 2026-09-25 on 5-minute data and are shown after the spread quoted at each trade’s entry plus 0.20 points of slippage per side, unless marked gross. Backtests have inherent limitations and do not reflect every effect of live execution. The index system went live in August 2026. This is a signal service: we do not manage money, execute trades on your behalf or give personalised advice. Trading leveraged CFDs carries a substantial risk of loss, and you may lose more than your deposit.
