⚠ Read this before buying — This strategy is not for everyone
💰You need more capital — Maximum drawdown is -$11,584, vs -$1,944 for ORB. Make sure you have sufficient margin.
📈29% win rate — but it's intentional — The strategy wins on very few trades, but when it wins, it wins big (ratio 2.97). Psychologically very different from a high win rate strategy.
🧠Mentally very demanding — It's always in position. Watching money go up and down continuously can tempt you to interfere. If you touch it, you break the logic.
🖥24h = PC on or VPS — Since it operates continuously, NinjaTrader must always be active. You can use a VPS and check every few hours, but you need quick access to the machine in case something fails.
📡More external dependencies — Depends on the data feed, NinjaTrader not crashing, internet connection. The more hours it runs, the more variables to monitor.

Trend Flow is no longer for sale
We've decided to pull it from the catalog. It's not about the code —it works, and the full track record stays here, public and untouched— it's about being honest with anyone who'd buy it.
Over 350 trades the win rate is ~30% and the profit factor is around 1.0: the strategy leans on a few big winners that show up now and then. In practice that's extremely hard to sit through. After a losing week it's very easy to close it out of emotion… and miss exactly the trade that recovers everything.
Since the last thing we want is for someone to lose money or have a hard time with a tool this psychologically demanding, we'd rather not sell it. We keep the track record visible for transparency.

⚠️ Simulated results (demo account). Past results do not guarantee future results.
Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading involves substantial risk and is not appropriate for all investors. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.
Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
