Most accounts aren't blown by bad setups. They're blown by the trader.
You know the plan. Then a stop gets hit, and the next three trades aren't in the plan anymore.
One loss turns into four
A stop-out, then a bigger trade to win it back. The day is red in 20 minutes.
Paying for reset after reset
One bad session wipes out a week of careful trading on a prop account.
Glued to charts all day
Waiting hours for a setup, then missing it when you step away.
Trading days you should skip
Forcing trades in slow, choppy markets because you're bored.
Manual vs automated
The bot takes the same trade the same way, every time.

EvalSprint: pass or reset in one morning
Grinding an evaluation for weeks is where most traders blow it. EvalSprint takes one full-size trade at the 9:30 AM ET New York open, aiming to hit the evaluation target in a single move. You pick long or short; the bot handles size, target and stop.
High risk by design. Many attempts fail. Use it only on evaluations you can afford to reset, and only where your firm's rules allow it.

Built-in rules
Risk rules come standard on every bot
Session only
Each bot trades the hours it was built for and nothing else.
Stops with room
Stops are sized per market and per session, with extra room for the New York open.
Fixed session windows
Each bot trades only inside its own window and is flat before it ends. If your prop firm restricts news trading, turn on the optional news filter or pause the bot around major releases.
Daily loss limit
Set your own daily max loss (optional). The bot stops for the day when it's hit.
One position at a time
No stacking trades. Set a max trades per day, and Gap Hunter, Range Fade and Gold Rush take at most one a day.
Flat at the end
Every bot closes its position before its window ends. Nothing is carried into the next session.

Why the lab
Built by a trader who runs these markets every day
I've traded futures for years across prop-firm evaluations, funded accounts and live accounts, and I've paid for plenty of bots myself. Most were sold on long backtests that fell apart in live markets.
FuturesBotLab works the other way. I trade these sessions every day, and the bots get adjusted based on what the market is actually doing. When a bot isn't working, it gets fixed or pulled. When we build something better, every member gets it.

FAQ
Questions before you buy
What platform do the bots run on?
NinjaTrader 8. The bots run inside your own NinjaTrader, on your computer or a VPS. We never log into or trade your account.
Do they work with prop firms?
They run on any account connected to NinjaTrader 8, which includes most futures prop firms. Each firm sets its own rules on automation, contract limits and drawdown, so check your firm's rules before you trade. See our prop firm guide.
Which markets do they trade?
Nasdaq, S&P 500 and gold futures, on both mini and micro contracts: NQ and MNQ, ES and MES, GC and MGC. Crude oil (CL and MCL) bots are in development. You choose the contract and size.
What is EvalSprint?
A one-shot evaluation bot. It takes one full-size trade at the 9:30 AM ET New York open, aiming to hit the evaluation target in a single move. Each attempt passes or fails that morning, so use it only on evaluations you can afford to reset, and only where your firm allows it.
How does the license work?
Your license is tied to your NinjaTrader login, so it works on your PC or a VPS. It stays active for your plan's term. Lifetime licenses never expire.
Do I need trading or coding experience?
No coding. Basic NinjaTrader knowledge helps, and the setup videos cover every step. We recommend running each bot on Sim first.
Let the bot follow the rules, so you don't have to.
Every bot, every update, one membership. Start for $39 a week and run them on Sim first.
