What is inside
Eight sections, from first rule to live account.
Build it
Sections 1–2: write the idea as rules a computer can follow, then turn the rules into a TradingView strategy.
Break it
Sections 3–5: where backtest numbers lie, how the strategy holds up against prop firm drawdown and loss rules, and a forward test on a simulator.
Then trade it
Sections 6–8: automation delays, order types and exits, the common mistakes, and a ready-to-run checklist.
Who it is for
For traders who automate, or are about to.
Written from building and running automated futures strategies. It works at any firm and with any platform; every chart is an illustration and nothing in it is a strategy recommendation or a result. Educational material only, not financial advice.
