Your account.Our AI agent.Paid only on new profit.
A Futurest AI agent trades micro gold and micro Nasdaq futures on your own NinjaTrader account across three trading sessions a day, adapting to the market inside strict, fixed risk rules. 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.

A single, one-time payment in crypto covers onboarding and provisioning a dedicated trading server for your account.

High-water mark · cryptoAn agent that adapts to the market. Rules it never breaks.
Markets change character from week to week: quiet ranges, fast breakouts, news spikes. The Futurest agent watches each session as it opens, reads the price action and volatility in front of it, and decides whether there is a trade worth taking — and how large it can be without breaking its risk budget. What it can never change are the rules around it.
Every day the agent works through three trading sessions in two of the most liquid micro futures, MGC (micro gold) and MNQ (micro Nasdaq-100). When a session opens it measures the range and how fast price is moving, then either stands aside or places a trade with its stop and target already attached. Position size is derived from the stop distance, so a wide, volatile market gets fewer contracts and a calm one gets more — the dollar risk stays the same.
It runs on your own NinjaTrader account, from a dedicated server we host and monitor. You see every order in your own platform, and the money never leaves your broker.
Fixed risk per trade
Each trade risks the same dollar amount you choose — $500 by default. Contracts adjust to the stop, never the other way round.
Hard stop on every trade
No order goes out without a protective stop. There is no "let it run and hope".
Daily limits
At most 7 trades a day across all sessions, and every position is closed the same day — nothing is held overnight.
No martingale, no averaging down
The agent never doubles up after a loss and never adds to a losing position.

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.
Invoiced Friday, due Monday
Every Friday we invoice that week's (Monday–Friday) trading result. The fee is paid in crypto by Monday; if it is still unpaid on Monday, the agent is paused on your account until it is settled.
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 AI agent, and connecting your account. It is paid in crypto, and there is no monthly fee on top.
How is the 30% performance fee calculated?
Each week is settled at its close on Friday. 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.
How and when do I pay?
All Futurest fees — the $50 setup and the weekly performance fee — are paid in crypto. We send the invoice every Friday for that week's fee, and payment is due by Monday. If a fee is still unpaid on Monday, the agent is paused on your account until it is settled, so it can keep trading without interruption as long as invoices are paid on time. Weeks with no fee have nothing to pay.
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.
What does the AI agent trade?
Two CME micro futures — Micro Gold (MGC) and Micro Nasdaq-100 (MNQ) — across three trading sessions a day. It can take up to 7 trades a day, each with the same fixed dollar risk and a hard stop. 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 in crypto under the same high-water-mark rules.
