The Strategy

Rules-based Nasdaq execution shaped by trader workflow

Forward Edge is built around a structured daily decision process for NQ and MNQ. At a high level, the strategy evaluates overnight price action, key liquidity interactions, moving-average structure, and prior-session context before the New York session begins.

Those factors are not treated equally. They are scored and weighted so lower-conviction conditions can be filtered out, while stronger alignment can support a single, rules-based intraday decision.

Built By Traders

Developed from real discretionary market experience

The execution logic was developed from a trader-led process focused on reading Nasdaq futures around the New York session, then translating that routine into consistent software behavior.

The goal is not to add complexity for its own sake. It is to take a repeatable market framework, automate the decision path, and remove hesitation, inconsistency, and manual execution drift.
