Intraday only
The strategies are built for day trading and are designed to close positions before the end of the session.
Risk Framework
Built for controlled intraday execution
Forward Edge automates Nasdaq futures trading in your own brokerage account. The strategies are designed for day trading. You control when automation runs and can review account activity in the dashboard.
Stop-loss rules for every strategy
Each strategy uses its own stop-loss rules. These are intended to limit losses, but actual losses can exceed the planned amount because of market conditions or execution issues.
Your account stays yours
Your brokerage account stays in your name. You choose whether to enable automation.
Your money stays in your account
Your funds remain with your broker. Manage deposits and withdrawals directly through your brokerage account.
Turn it off any time
Pause a strategy from the account controls to stop new trades. Pausing does not close existing positions or pause a second strategy. Use the position-closing controls or your broker to manage open positions.
Your broker password stays private
Sign in securely with your supported broker to authorize the connection. Forward Edge does not save your broker password or hold your funds.
Auto-Scaling
Position sizing can scale up and down with the account
With Auto-Scaling enabled, the software adjusts the number of contracts as your account balance changes, subject to your plan and risk settings.
Conservative
Uses a smaller share of the balance-based contract allowance than Moderate or Aggressive. Contract size changes as your balance crosses the thresholds for this profile.
Moderate
Uses a contract allowance between Conservative and Aggressive, subject to your account balance and plan limits.
Aggressive
Allows a larger contract size at a given balance than the other profiles, subject to plan limits. Larger positions can produce larger gains and losses.
How Auto-Scaling adjusts contract size
Contract size can increase or decrease as your balance crosses the thresholds for your selected profile. For example, the base NQ allowance starts at one contract at $20,000 and increases by one for each additional $25,000. The selected profile reduces that allowance where applicable, so the balance needed to begin trading NQ differs by profile.
Auto-Scaling remains subject to your plan's shared contract limit and any account-specific restrictions. Check the contract size shown in your account controls before enabling automation.
Risk disclosure
Futures trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for every investor. Historical performance does not guarantee future results. Clients are responsible for their own brokerage accounts, risk settings, and trading decisions.
