Automated trading bot for NinjaTrader 8

For normal people

Never traded before? Even better.

TSOPEN is not built for traders. It is built for people who want exposure to this without turning it into a second job. The machine does the hard part; you get the easy one.

You decide nothing

Where to enter, how much to risk, where to close: the system decides with its rules, the same ones every day. No nerves, no hunches, no rookie mistakes.

You are not at the screen

It works one window a day, at 8:30 AM ET. It enters, manages and closes without you. You can be at work, at the gym or asleep on the West Coast.

Risk closed before entry

Every trade is born with its loss limit already placed in the market. You know what is at stake before anything happens. No "let's see if it comes back".

That simple

Your day with TSOPEN lasts one minute

You turn the computer on

You open NinjaTrader 8 with TSOPEN enabled before 8:30 AM ET. That is everything you do. The setup guide gets you there on day one.

The bot reads and decides

At 8:30 AM it reads the real order flow and diagnoses the likelier direction for the session. Not clean? It does not trade. Staying out is a decision too.

It enters, manages and closes

If the read is clean it opens the trade with its stop and target already placed, and closes it automatically. You check how it went in the evening. That is it.

Results

Seven years of numbers, not promises

This is the TSOPEN curve in the NinjaTrader 8 Strategy Analyzer, over more than seven years: $274,406 of cumulative profit in backtest, gross, on a $50,000 funded account. Take out broker commissions (about $1 per micro contract, roughly 5%) and you are looking at about $260,700 net. That is ≈$35,500 net a year on average across the period, with its worst run published alongside. And the best part is not the number: it is that we are not asking you to take our word for it. Anyone with NinjaTrader can load the strategy and reproduce these same numbers, trade by trade.

Forget the clichés

This is not the market you are picturing

No buying shares and praying for years. TSOPEN trades index futures: in and out the same morning, hunting one specific move, then gone.

"Investing" the way you know it

You buy and wait months or years, watching the news.
Your money is exposed the whole time, including while you sleep.
You decide, with your nerves, your rush and your bad days.
Nobody tells you how much you can actually lose.

What TSOPEN does

One trade a day, lasting minutes. In, out, done.
No overnight positions and no nasty surprises at the open.
A machine executes, with the same rules every single day.
Every entry carries its loss limit before it opens.

The best part

What if the money being traded was not yours?

There are firms — proprietary trading firms, "prop firms" — that put their own capital behind traders who prove they can follow rules. You pay for an evaluation that costs little, you pass it, and you trade their account keeping most of the profits.

Your real exposure is capped at the price of the evaluation.
The discipline those evaluations demand — few trades, controlled risk — is exactly what TSOPEN does by design.
Once the system is running you can replicate it across several accounts. That is where the numbers get interesting.
We work with Apex, Lucid, My Funded Futures and Tradeify, and we tell you the fine print before you spend a dollar.

Start without risking your own money Open the calculator

An example in plain numbers

An evaluation for a 50k account costs, depending on the firm and the promotion, less than a dinner for two. If TSOPEN passes it, you trade the firm's capital and take your share of the profits. If a month goes badly, the most you have put at risk is that fee.

Every firm has its own rules and its own fine print. On the funded capital page we lay it out without decoration, including the parts nobody likes to mention.

Trading bots

What a trading bot is, in two minutes

A trading bot is a program that buys and sells by fixed rules: when to enter, how much to risk and when to get out are all decided before anything happens. It does not improvise, it has no intuition and it does not skip the plan on a Tuesday afternoon. That is why it works — not because it is smarter than you, but because it is more consistent.

Serious systems trade futures: the market with defined hours, standardized contracts and micro contracts small enough to risk little. And they are measured with two numbers, not one: the profit and the drawdown, which is the worst stretch you have to sit through on the way.

Rentabilio is the home of TSOPEN, our automated system for NinjaTrader 8, and also a library of long guides where we explain all of this without selling you anything along the way.

The questions you would ask

What is a trading bot?+

A trading bot is a program that buys and sells by fixed rules written in advance: when to enter, how much to risk and when to get out. It does not improvise and has no intuition, and that is exactly its advantage — it executes the plan without nerves and without skipping a day. If the plan is good, it follows it better than a human. If the plan is bad, it loses money with the same discipline.

I know nothing about trading. Can I really use one?+

Yes, and that is who TSOPEN is built for. You do not pick anything, you do not read charts and you do not touch buttons while a trade is open. You install it on your own computer following our setup guide, you watch it work, and you learn enough to understand what is happening. The machine does the rest.

How much does a trading bot make?+

It depends on the system, the account size and the number of contracts, so any number on its own is worthless. TSOPEN's, in backtest: $274,406 over more than seven years on a $50,000 funded account, with the risk and the target defined before every entry, and about $260,700 net once commissions are taken out. That is a simulation over historical data. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Is this not just another miracle robot?+

The difference is one word: verifiable. We do not show screenshots nobody can check. We show the NinjaTrader 8 Strategy Analyzer, an industry-standard tool anyone can run. You load the strategy, run the backtest over the same period, and the same numbers come out. If somebody promises returns without showing you anything reproducible, be suspicious of them — and of us.

How much money do I need to start?+

It depends on the route. With a funded account, your real outlay is the evaluation fee (around $100 for a 50k account) and your own money never goes into the market. Accounts get consumed as they exhaust their payouts or hit a bad run: in the last seven months of the backtest roughly 7 were used, about $700 in total. With your own account you need whatever margin your broker requires for the contracts the system trades. The calculator runs the numbers for your case.

What do I need at home?+

A normal Windows computer with NinjaTrader 8 (free for charting and simulation) and an internet connection. The system installs inside it, and the setup guide walks you through it step by step. If you would rather not leave a machine on, a small VPS does the job for a few dollars a month.

What can I lose?+

Every trade is born with its loss limit and its target already placed in the market, before anything happens, and the system works a single window a day: the risk is capped by design. Even so, these are leveraged futures. Bad days exist and bad runs exist. Never trade money you cannot afford to lose.
