Automated futures trading for prop-firm traders
Most traders don't crash because the flight plan was wrong. They crash because they fly by feel. The Runway puts Autopilot on a rule-based strategy that flies the same way every session, and gives you a flight deck that watches every prop-firm account you run.
The prop-firm model assumes high failure rates by design. Look past the payout screenshots and the numbers are brutal.

Prop firms thrive on traders failing. Every evaluation fee, reset and blown account is money the firm keeps, and it keeps it whether or not the trader ever sees a payout. The firm doesn't need you to fail today, only eventually: the longer a trader stays exposed to the market, the more chances there are for one emotional day, one rule break, one bad streak. Time is the firm's silent edge.
A red morning turns into a revenge trade. A green morning turns into giving it all back.
One small loss becomes one large loss, because closing the trade means admitting it was wrong.
Boredom and screen time create trades the plan never called for.
Daily loss limits, consistency rules, hedging restrictions, and minimum holding periods can trigger unexpected violations, resulting in lost profits, trading restrictions, or account termination.
The largest trading firms don't rely on a trader's mood. Every strategy is written down and tested before it trades, risk is calculated before the order goes in, and execution is handed to software. Their edge is a process that runs the same way on the hundredth day as on the first.
A prop-firm account lets you trade the firm's capital while your own risk is limited to the evaluation fee. The catch is the rulebook: daily loss limits, trailing drawdowns and consistency rules that punish a single emotional day. That's exactly the kind of rulebook software follows better than people do.
Retail traders now have the same building blocks the big desks use: alerts, automated execution and real-time account tracking. The traders who last will be the ones who stop hand-flying every trade and start supervising a system.
Start with the community and the flight deck, add Autopilot's live signals, or let Autopilot fly your prop accounts for you.
The community and the flight deck. Manual trade callouts from profitable traders, plus a desk for every prop-firm account you run.
The Breakout Room Indicator and Autopilot's live signals, so you can take every setup yourself.
Autopilot flies it for you. Your prop accounts trade the strategy automatically through PickMyTrade, with no alerts to take by hand.
Memberships are sold through Whop. The Breakout Room Indicator is invite-only on TradingView; the strategy's code is never shared. Prop-firm evaluation and data fees, and any PickMyTrade subscription, are paid to those providers.
Every member gets the flight deck: one place for every prop-firm account you run, checked against that firm's rules.
Premium unlocks the Discord and the flight deck. Flight Deck adds the indicator, the live signals and the bot tools. Autopilot adds the bot flying for you.
Sign in to the desk, link your Discord on your profile, and add the prop-firm accounts you trade.
Flight Deck members add the indicator and its alerts on TradingView. Autopilot members connect their prop accounts to PickMyTrade and we onboard them one-on-one.
Import your NinjaTrader trades and your desk updates every account and its distance to the limits.
Our strategies take losses, sometimes several in a row. A stop is a stop: the strategy takes the hit and waits for the next setup instead of trying to win it back. Size each account so a run of losing days stays inside the firm's limits, and the desk will show you how much room each one has left.
We will publish results from imported fills, not screenshots.
Former co-founder of a futures prop firm. Ken knows where the prop-firm edge comes from, and built our strategy to beat it. In historical testing it has outperformed the market it trades.
Known as OJ Trades. Omar came to the markets in late 2023 and spent the next couple of years on the charts, learning from experienced traders and building a rules-based approach to breakout trading on MNQ. Since then he’s focused on discipline and process, and he’s committed to giving this community the tools and structure to trade the same way.
No. The strategy logic is proprietary and stays private. Members get the Discord and the flight deck, and the higher tiers add the alerts.
We never hold your money or log in to your accounts. Premium and Flight Deck members place their own trades. Autopilot members connect their own prop accounts to PickMyTrade, a separate automation service, which places the trades from our signals; you can switch it off at any time. The desk only reads what you import.
Discord for every plan. TradingView for The Breakout Room Indicator and alerts. PickMyTrade for Autopilot. The desk imports trade history from NinjaTrader today, with more platforms to follow.
Firms set their own rules on automated trading and change them often. The desk shows each firm's bot policy as we last checked it, with the date and source. Confirm with your firm before you trade.
No. No strategy can. Losses happen, and some days will be red. Trade only what you can afford to lose.
Monthly and annual memberships run through Whop, and you can cancel there at any time. The yearly Flight Deck option is a single bank-wire payment for 12 months of access. Autopilot is a one-time payment. Fees already paid to prop firms are between you and the firm.
An Autopilot tool we are building: describe a strategy in plain English and get a TradingView strategy you can backtest. It is in development and not available yet.
