Watch the bot trade futures live

Proof that an automated bot can trade prop firms inside their rules. I stream full sessions, losses and all, with no strategy to sell and no red days left off camera.

The bot trading a Topstep evaluation account, live and unedited. Streams weekday mornings, during the US cash session. Outside those hours the feed is dark. What it runs is shown below. Subscribe on YouTube to catch the next session.

What the bot is running

No discretionary trades, no master account. The same set fires on each account on its own, with no Topstep trade copier.

  • 13 strategies
  • 3 instruments
  • 2 accounts

Each account starts at 3 MNQ, 5 MES and 5 M2K. Once an account is up $4,500 in profit it scales up the next day, and it scales back down again if it drops under that.

The accounts

The bot runs 2 Topstep accounts, each trading the full set on its own. They are built to be pushed inside the rules, so some are meant to fail.

Running now

Same trades, staggered starts. Every account runs the same set and takes the same trades at the same time. The only thing that differs is the day each one started. An account that has run longer has banked more buffer against its trailing drawdown, so a rough couple of days can end the newest one while an older one absorbs it and keeps trading. Staggering the starts is what stops the whole fleet going down together.

Balances are not listed here, because a page cannot keep one true past the next session. The running balance is on the stream above, live.

Retired

Nothing has failed on stream yet. When an account goes, it gets logged here with the reason, not quietly deleted.

Questions

Why use a bot to trade?

For the discipline. A bot follows the strategy exactly, every time, with no moving a stop, no widening a target, and no holding a loser because it might come back. There is no revenge trade after a red one. Every rule is systematic and rigorously backtested before it goes live, so what you watch is the plan running, not me reacting to it. Trading that consistently by hand takes ultimate discipline, and a bot takes the emotion out of it entirely.

What is the stream trying to prove?

That an automated bot can trade a prop firm inside its own rules, the trailing drawdown, the consistency rule, and the payout gate, and hold up as a real way to trade them, not a backtest and not a screenshot.

Why stream it live instead of posting results?

Because a track record only counts if you see all of it. I stream whole sessions, the losing trades and the flat days included. I am not the kind of live trader who takes losses in the morning, goes off stream, and comes back claiming the afternoon made it all back. Green or red, the full session is on screen, and it is the same screen I watch.

What account does the bot trade on the stream?

Topstep, on the evaluation and Express Funded side, where Topstep permits a bot and the payouts are real. Automation is blocked only on a Topstep Live Funded account, so the feed stays on the side where a bot is allowed and the bot runs locally as the firm requires. That local-only rule is also why Topstep does not top our automation ranking, and the full rules are in the Topstep review.

Why do you let accounts blow up on stream?

Because failing accounts is built into the approach, not a bug. In normal trading the advice is to risk about two percent of your capital a trade, so variance never ends you. On a prop firm you cannot trade that small. A $50K account fails on a $2,000 trailing drawdown, about four percent, so the math runs the other way. The evaluation is cheap and the funded payout is not, so the rational play is to push each account hard inside the rules and accept that some will not survive. A failed evaluation is a line item, not a blow-up, and watching one go is the plan working.

Do you share your strategies?

No, and that is deliberate. YouTube and a thousand webpages are already full of strategies, so one more set of entry rules is not the point. We run 13 of them across 3 markets, so the edge was never one secret strategy. What is worth showing is the process of trading them with a bot, not the parameters. You see the chart, the orders, and the balance, while the account number, API keys, file paths, and strategy values stay masked. I am not selling a strategy or a signal.

Is this a recommendation to trade?

No. Trading futures carries a substantial risk of loss. Watching a bot trade is not financial advice, and no result shown is typical or guaranteed.
