Breakout
Continuation
Risk controls
Futures trading involves substantial risk. You can lose all or more than your initial investment. Automated trading requires monitoring. Stops and session controls cannot guarantee an execution price or limit account losses.
Inside the strategy
From compression to continuation.
Rules you can configure
Trading windows, ATR-based stops, profit targets, trade duration, cooldowns and entry filters are exposed in NinjaTrader.
Session controls
Trade-count, consecutive-loss and realized loss-in-R controls can pause new entries. These are strategy controls, not an account loss guarantee.
The original strategy combines trend, volatility and price-action filters with timed entry windows. Core breakout entries use stop-market orders. Opening range and VWAP setups add long-side opportunities when their conditions are met.
Exit logic includes ATR-based stops, R-multiple targets, breakeven and trailing options, and a maximum holding period. Cooldowns and shock filters can suspend new setups. All execution still depends on NinjaTrader, connectivity and market conditions.

Historical simulation · Release candidate comparison
Inspect the evidence and its limits.
The supplied NinjaTrader exports cover January 1, 2024 through September 29, 2026. The original trade ledger, daily analysis and summary reconcile. All 1,420 trades in the supplied release-candidate export match the original across entry and exit times, prices, names, direction, quantity, costs, profit and bars held. This comparison does not establish live execution quality or complete release validation.
Read before interpreting the figures: the exports report zero commissions and fees. The release settings export records one tick of slippage, Standard historical fills and commissions disabled. The data provider, contract-merge policy and trading-hours template remain unverified. The instrument is labeled NQ 12-26 throughout the sample. This is not a live track record, a walk-forward validation, or a forecast.

The maximum drawdown in the closed-trade equity series is $2,340. That figure excludes open-position fluctuations and must not be treated as maximum possible account loss. Quantity is one contract per trade.
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally 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 of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.

Product questions
Is it available to buy today?
Yes. The price is $249 USD one time for one named NinjaTrader user and version 1.x personal use. Manual activation and download access are provided within two business days after cleared payment and correct account details. Read the purchase terms before checkout. Additional clean-install and simulated order-lifecycle testing were not performed; historical evidence does not establish live execution quality.
Is this included in an AI platform subscription?
This is a separate strategy product. The Strategic Edge AI platform subscriptions cover the strategy development workspace. A platform subscription does not currently grant this product license.
Does it support MNQ, ES or other time frames?
Version 1 is scoped to NQ on standard 1 minute bars with one contract per instance. Other instruments, time frames and larger position sizes are not supported in this release.
Can the strategy place trades automatically?
Yes, when enabled in NinjaTrader it is designed to submit entries and exits according to its rules. Real time execution starts disabled. An explicit setting change is required for real time use, including Sim101 and Playback. We recommend evaluating the strategy in simulation before live use.
Are the historical results a forecast?
No. The original and release-candidate historical trade exports match across the compared trade fields. This is a comparison of supplied simulation exports, not live trading or an independently rerun backtest. Costs, fill assumptions, hindsight and market conditions can materially change outcomes.
How will licensing work?
The release uses NinjaTrader user-based licensing. Activation is tied to the customer’s NinjaTrader account. Provide your NinjaTrader account email at checkout. After manual activation, sign in to My strategy orders using your purchase email to download the compiled installer. Your website email and NinjaTrader email may differ.

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ 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.
