Forward Edge Futures

Automated futures trading software for your own brokerage account.

Forward Edge Futures is software that connects to your supported brokerage account and executes trades automatically for you. Once connected, it can keep running even when your computer is off or you are away from the screen. Built for active traders, busy professionals, and investors, it can be used as a hands-on trading tool, a passive investment approach, or a way to diversify beyond traditional stock exposure while you keep control of your account and funds.

Who It's For
A simpler way to stay involved in futures without watching the screen all day.

Some clients use Forward Edge alongside their own trading. Others use it because they want a more hands-off, rules-based way to stay active in futures. Each day, the software either takes its planned trade or stays out when the setup is not there.

Once your account is connected, the software can keep running even when you are away from your desk.

What You Get

A simple way to let software trade futures inside your own account

The goal is simple: make setup easy, keep execution disciplined, and give you a cleaner way to stay active in the futures market even when you do not have time to trade manually.

Easy Broker Connection

Use the secure Tradovate connection for eligible Tradovate and NinjaTrader-linked accounts, choose live or demo, and manage everything from one dashboard.

Runs Even When You're Away

Once connected, Forward Edge keeps working from our side, so you do not need to keep your computer on or stay at the screen for the strategy to run.

Built-In Risk Management

The software uses defined stops, size guardrails, and end-of-day flattening designed to protect the account automatically in a disciplined way.

Diversification

Risk control stays built in

Each trading day follows the same structure with position management, defined stops, and automatic end-of-day flattening before the market closes.

You stay in control

Your supported brokerage account stays in your name, your funds stay at your broker, and you decide when the software is enabled.
