The Strategies

Four rules-based Nasdaq systems

The selected strategy places orders only when its trading rules are met. If no trade qualifies, it does not open a position.

You can use a demo account to try the setup before enabling live trading.

Built By Traders

A trader-built process, run as software

We turned a trading process into software that checks for trades, submits qualifying orders, and follows preset exit rules.

The software handles individual orders. You remain responsible for monitoring your brokerage account and checking its status.

Setup Flow

From checkout to automated trading

Buy a plan, create your Forward Edge login, connect your broker, choose a strategy and contract size, and turn on automation. If you need more accounts or higher limits than our standard plans offer, request a custom plan first.

01

Choose standard or custom access

Choose a standard plan, or submit an application for a custom plan if you need more accounts or a higher total contract limit.

02

Complete checkout or custom review

Standard plans continue to secure payment and account setup. We review custom applications before sending payment and setup instructions.

03

Connect Tradovate, NinjaTrader, or TradeStation

Use a secure login for the broker you already use. Tradovate covers eligible Tradovate and NinjaTrader-linked accounts. TradeStation uses its own secure login. The software trades there; funds stay at the broker.

04

Select the account, size, and strategy

Choose the account you want the software to trade, then select a strategy and contract size. Your account balance and risk settings may impose a lower limit than your plan allows.

05

Turn on automation

Review your settings, then turn on automation. The selected strategy checks for trades, submits qualifying orders, and follows its stop-loss and scheduled exit rules. Your computer does not need to stay on.

06

Review daily results

Check completed orders, profit or loss from closed trades, and connection status in the dashboard. Confirm positions and balances with your broker.

Plan Structure

Plans based on accounts and contract limits

Choose a plan based on the number of brokerage accounts and total contract limit you need.

Your plan sets the maximum contract allowance across your enabled accounts and strategies. Your account balance and risk settings may impose a lower limit. You pay for software access; Forward Edge does not charge a performance or management fee.
