Questions about our automated trading strategies, answered.
Find answers about pricing, supported platforms, funded accounts, capital requirements and license activation for Horizon Algo strategies.
Everything in one place.
Do I really only pay once? No recurring fees?
Yes, a one-time payment and a lifetime license. No monthly subscriptions, no catch.
How do you create your strategies?
Through a four-phase process: we research approaches with a genuine edge, develop the concept into a rule-based system, run months of simulated testing while optimizing the risk parameters, and finally verify behaviour in live trading before any public release.
How much capital do I need?
MetaTrader 5 EAs can run from as little as $100, depending on your broker's leverage and minimum deposit. For NinjaTrader strategies we recommend at least $4,000 so lot sizes and risk parameters are set appropriately.
What platforms do you support?
MetaTrader 5 and NinjaTrader 8.
Can I test your strategies before I buy?
We don't offer trial periods.
Can I use them with prop firms and funded accounts?
Absolutely. They're primarily designed for funded trading, with daily profit goals, daily loss limits and a cap on trades per day. Just make sure your prop firm's rules allow algorithmic trading.
How do I find my NinjaTrader Machine ID?
It combines your local NinjaTrader instance ID with an identifier you choose. Follow the step-by-step instructions on the Licensing page.
What if I get a new computer?
For NinjaTrader strategies, regenerate the Machine ID and email us the new and old IDs, and we'll move the license. MetaTrader 5 EAs aren't hardware-locked, so you can simply reinstall on the new machine.
