Your account.Our algorithms.Paid only on new profit.
Futurest connects a three-strategy micro-futures portfolio to your own NinjaTrader account and runs it from our servers every trading day. One $50 setup, then a 30% share of each week's new profit — nothing while you're below your previous peak.
Simulated results based on our strategy models; not actual client account results. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
From sign-up to automated trading in four moves.
No software to install, no strategy settings to babysit, no server to rent. You keep the account — we run the machine.
Pay the $50 setup
A single, one-time payment covers onboarding and provisioning a dedicated trading server for your account.
One-time · $50Connect your NinjaTrader account
Your futures account stays with your broker, in your name. We connect it to NinjaTrader on our server — we never hold or move your money.
Your broker · your fundsOur bots trade it
Three rule-based strategies run on our hosted VPS across the Tokyo, European and New York sessions, with every order protected by a stop and a target.
Hosted · monitoredPay 30% of new weekly profit
At each week's close we compare your account with its previous peak. Only profit above that peak is shared — red weeks and recovery weeks cost nothing.
High-water markThree engines. Three sessions. One account.
Each strategy trades a different market window, so the portfolio spreads its risk across gold and the Nasdaq and across the trading day. Figures below are simulated from 1 Oct 2025 at $500 risk per trade.

Full performance & calculator →We earn when your account reaches new highs. Not before.
The high-water mark (HWM) is the highest level your account has been charged at. Fees are only ever calculated on the distance above it.
Weekly settlement
Every week (Monday–Friday) is settled at its close using your account's trading P/L for that week.
30% of profit above the peak
Earn $1,000 in a week at a new high and you keep $700; $300 is the performance fee.
No fee while recovering
After a losing week, nothing is charged until the account climbs back above its previous peak — and then only on the part above it.
Fees are not drawdown
On our charts, fees appear as amber markers and are excluded from drawdown statistics, so you can always see trading risk separately from cost.

Straight answers.
Who owns the account and the money?
You do. The futures account is opened with your broker, in your name, and the funds stay there at all times. Futurest only connects it to NinjaTrader on our server so the strategies can place orders. We cannot withdraw or transfer your money, and you can disconnect at any time.
What exactly does the $50 cover?
The one-time setup: onboarding, provisioning the hosted server, installing and configuring NinjaTrader and the strategies, and connecting your account. There is no monthly fee on top.
How is the 30% performance fee calculated?
Each week is settled at its close. If your account's cumulative trading profit is above its high-water mark (the highest level already charged), the fee is 30% of the amount above that mark, and the mark moves up. If the account is at or below the mark, the fee is zero. Example: +$1,000 at a new high means a $300 fee and $700 kept.
What happens in a losing week?
You pay nothing that week, and nothing in the following weeks until the losses are recovered and the account is back above its previous peak. Only new profit beyond that peak is ever charged.
What are the risks?
Futures are leveraged. Losses can be fast and can exceed the amount you deposit. Strategies that performed well in the past can underperform or lose money in the future; market gaps, low liquidity, slippage, broker or platform outages, connectivity problems and news events can all cause results worse than shown. Simulated drawdowns are not a ceiling on future drawdowns. Choose a risk per trade you can tolerate losing many times in a row, and only trade money you can afford to lose.
Are the performance figures real account results?
No. The figures on this site are simulated: our strategy models run over historical market data in NinjaTrader 8 from 1 October 2025. They are not results achieved by client accounts. The model figures are gross — broker commissions were $0 and slippage is not modelled — so the calculator deducts broker fees per instrument (Tradovate Free plan all-in rates by default, editable). When live trading results become available they will be shown and labelled separately on the charts.
How does the calculator scale results to my account?
Every historical trade in the model risked about $500. The calculator multiplies each trade's P/L by your risk per trade ÷ $500 and adds the results (no compounding). Broker fees are estimated per instrument as contracts × 2 sides × the all-in rate — by default Tradovate's Free plan (MNQ $0.94, MGC $1.29 per contract per side, incl. exchange, NFA & clearing, schedule as of Aug 2026), with Monthly, Lifetime, none or custom rates selectable. Real orders use whole contracts, so actual position sizes and results will differ, particularly at small risk amounts.
Which markets and hours do the strategies trade?
Micro Gold futures (MGC) around the Tokyo and Vilnius session openings, and Micro Nasdaq-100 futures (MNQ) around the Tokyo opening and the New York opening range. Positions are intraday and closed the same day.
Can I stop at any time?
Yes. Because the account is yours, you can ask us to disconnect it, or simply change its credentials. Any performance fee due for weeks already completed is settled under the same high-water-mark rules.
