Automated futures bots, shown with their losses.
Trading bots built for NinjaTrader 8 on US index futures. For every bot we show the drawdown, the losing months and the live forward test just as plainly as the profit.
| Bot | Curve | Profit factor | Max drawdown | Losing months |
|---|---|---|---|---|

The four bots
All four are NinjaTrader 8 strategies. Figures are for 1 contract, after commissions, with conservative fills. Each backtest covers the same period the settings were built on, so the forward test has the final say.
The bot cards will appear here soon.
How it works
You get the bot
The strategy and its settings for NinjaTrader 8, with installation instructions.
It runs on your account
On your computer or VPS, on a simulated, prop or personal account. Your money stays with your broker; we have no access to it.
We track it together
The bot's public forward test and your own results sit side by side, so any difference shows up early.
What we show, and how
- Conservative fills
- A limit order counts as filled only when price trades through it. We do not show optimistic fill-on-touch results.
- After costs, per contract
- Every figure is net of commission and per 1 contract – not a leveraged percentage.
- Losses, not just profits
- Every card shows the largest drawdown, the drawdown curve and the number of losing months.
- Checked against real fills
- Our simulator reproduced 48 of 48 real fills of one of our bots running on a prop account, at the same prices.
- The forward test decides
- A backtest is only the entry ticket. A bot is released only once its live forward test backs it up.

Questions
When does the site launch?
When the bots' forward tests have collected enough live results. Sign up and we'll let you know.
Which platform does it run on?
NinjaTrader 8 with a futures account (broker or prop firm). You need a Windows computer or VPS.
Is profit guaranteed?
No. Nobody can guarantee profit. In futures trading you can lose more than you invested in a short time.
Do you manage my money or my account?
No. The bot runs on your computer and your account. We have no access to your account, place no orders for you and hold no client money.
What's the difference between a backtest and a forward test?
A backtest is a simulation on past data. A forward test runs in real time on live market data, on a simulated or prop account – it tells you far more about how the bot really behaves.
Can I use it on a prop firm account?
Technically yes. It's up to you to check that the prop firm allows automated trading and that the bot fits within its daily loss and drawdown limits.
What do you do with my email address?
We only write about the launch and the bots, and you can unsubscribe at any time. Details are in the privacy notice.
We'll tell you when we launch
One email about the launch, then we only write when a bot's forward test changes in a meaningful way.
