These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.

How it was tested: one MNQ contract ($2 a point) on every trading day in the period, entering at the breakout level with one tick of slippage and 0.25 points of commission on each trade, out at the stop or at 15:59 New York time. Results in dollars before taxes and data fees. 1 NQ is ten times 1 MNQ.

One clean trade a day, or none

The same rules every day. No hunches, no revenge trades, no screen time.

09:31 Sets two levels From the New York open and the previous session. One above the price, one below.
Until 13:00 Takes the first break Long if the upper level goes first, short if the lower one does. Nothing breaks, no trade.
In the trade Stop in from the start A stop is in place from the moment it enters. The risk is known before anything happens.
15:59 Always flat by the close Whatever is open is closed. It never holds a position overnight or over a weekend.

It sits out the days that move on news alone: Fed decision and Fed minutes days, market holidays and half days.

Your account, your limits

The bot places orders in your own brokerage account. Your money never leaves it.

Pick the size: MNQ or NQ, and how many contracts. Change it whenever you like.
Set your guard rails: A daily loss stop and a cap on trades. When either is hit, the bot stands down for the day.
One switch: Turn it off and any open position is closed. Turn it on and it waits for the next signal.
Paper first: Watch it trade on paper before any real money. Switch to your broker when you are ready.
Your login stays yours: Broker logins are stored encrypted. Delete yours at any time and it is gone.
Everything in New York time: Every entry, exit and result is logged with the market's own clock, so you can check each one.
