Algorithm Technical Specifications

Three core pillars driving every trade. Zero human intervention required.

Pillar 01

Pre-Market Range Logic

The algorithm intelligently monitors a specific high-liquidity window during the early pre-market session — well before the New York open — to establish precise institutional support and resistance zones that serve as the foundation for all trade decisions.

  • →Momentum breakout: detects the exact moment price escapes the pre-market range with meaningful market participation behind it
  • →Pullback meeting strict entry criteria: identifies confirmed retracements to fast moving averages as defined-risk entry points
  • →Multi-layer trend alignment confirmation across moving averages required before any order is placed
Orders are only executed between 9:00–11:30 AM (NY time), the peak liquidity window of the U.S. morning session
Pillar 02

Advanced Market Filters

Four independent validation layers that must all pass simultaneously. If any single filter fails, the bot stands aside — no trade is taken.

Consolidation Filter ACTIVE

Automatically disables the system during accumulation phases or damaging sideways market conditions

Trend Strength Filter ACTIVE

Measures the velocity and health of the trend to ensure price carries sufficient directional acceleration

Volume Confirmation ACTIVE

Validates institutional capital participation above market average before confirming any breakout signal

Volatility Range Guard ACTIVE

Blocks execution on days where the pre-market range is excessively wide or shows erratic behavior

Pillar 03

Advanced Risk Management

A four-stage automated exit system that protects capital and lets winners run — entirely without manual intervention.

1
Dynamic Stop Loss
Automatically calibrated to the asset's actual volatility at the precise moment of execution
2
Capital Protection — Break-Even
Moves the stop to the entry price once the trade reaches its first partial profit target, substantially reducing the remaining risk on the trade (subject to slippage and gaps)
3
Algorithmic Trailing Stop
Dynamically pursues the price behind key moving averages to capture the full extension of prolonged trends
4
Daily Discipline
Hard limit of 1 trade per session plus mandatory session-end close — overnight risk is structurally eliminated

Risk Disclosure: Trading futures and forex carries substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without endangering one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading, and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve results similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical results and the actual results subsequently achieved. One limitation of hypothetical results is that they are prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading.

CFTC Rule 4.41: HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.

Funded Accounts

Prop Firm Compatibility

STSNasdaq was stress-tested against Bulenox funded account rules — trailing drawdown, 40% consistency rule, and safety threshold — using every 2026 trade. Neither account was blown across all contract sizes simulated.

⚠️ Simulated results based on 2026 YTD trade data (1 contract). These figures are hypothetical backtest results and do not represent actual trading performance. Scaling scenarios multiply per-trade P&L. Intra-trade MAE not modeled. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Best Day / Total ratio is identical across all contract-size scenarios because each one scales the same trade series linearly — it is not an independently simulated run.

Sample Trades from the Backtest

Winners Run, Losers Get Cut Short

Two sample trades from the backtest showing the asymmetry that drives the strategy: the trailing stop lets profits run while the initial stop cuts losses fast.

STSNasdaq winning trade example ✓ WINNER
Short @ 30.176,50 → Exit @ 29.107,75
+1.068,75 pts · +$2.137,50
STSNasdaq losing trade example ✕ LOSER
Short @ 30.428,00 → Stop @ 30.468,50
-40,50 pts · -$81,00

On average, the winning trade is 2.77x larger than the losing trade (2-year backtest average) — the statistical edge behind the system.

A strict maximum of 1 trade per session. The bot may go Long or Short — never both on the same day. Once a trade opens and closes, the system stops scanning for new signals for the remainder of that session.

This is by design: it protects capital, eliminates overtrading and concentrates the statistical edge of the pre-market strategy within the highest-liquidity window of the day.
The system executes four automated exit phases with no manual input required:

Phase 1 — Dynamic Stop Loss: placed automatically at a distance calibrated to the market's actual volatility at the exact moment of entry.

Phase 2 — Break-Even: once the trade reaches its first profit target, the stop is moved to the entry price. From this point, the remaining risk on the trade is substantially reduced, though slippage or gaps can still occur.

Phase 3 — Algorithmic Trailing Stop: the stop dynamically follows key moving averages, tightening progressively as the trade extends deeper into profit.

Phase 4 — Session Close: any open position is automatically closed at the end of the U.S. session, eliminating overnight exposure entirely.
The bot generates three permanent performance records automatically:

• Full CSV log with every trade and its associated market metrics
• Live JSON file updated on every bar with current strategy state, indicators and account data
• Weekly HTML report every Friday with equity curve, Win Rate, Profit Factor, daily and directional breakdowns

You can also run historical backtests directly inside NinjaTrader's Strategy Analyzer on NQ/MNQ data.
When your billing period ends without renewal, the license becomes inactive. The bot detects this on the next NinjaTrader startup and places no orders whatsoever. There are no additional charges or penalties for cancelling.

You can reactivate at any time by contacting us. All your locally stored CSV logs, JSON files and HTML reports remain on your machine.
