OCTOBER Cohort — Live Program
October Bot Trading Masterclass
Most traders buy a trading bot, turn it on, and hope it works. That's not automation success. That's gambling with extra steps. In this 4-week masterclass, We will show you how to build a real automated trading system — one that doesn't fall apart the first time the market gets choppy.
2x per week
2x per week
Tuesdays & Thursdays — 8PM EST / 7PM CST
Class 1 starts Thursday, October 1
1-year Technology Access
Bot & Portfolio Tools included
One-time fee. No hidden costs. 15 students MAX.
The Problem
Why most bot traders never make it
We've watched the same four mistakes kill accounts over and over. They have nothing to do with the strategy and everything to do with the trader running it.
The 'Passive Income' Myth
Most people buy a bot and think they're done. They're not. Automation is not a vending machine. It needs a weekly check-in, not magic.
The 'Holy Grail' Trap
One strategy will never carry you. It'll have a bad month. You'll panic. You'll quit. Then the next 'perfect' bot shows up and the cycle repeats.
Technical Issues
NinjaTrader freezes. OneDrive corrupts your files. Bad data feeds blow up your charts. These aren't rare. They happen when the setup is wrong.
Emotional Interference
You turn the bots off in a drawdown. Then you miss the recovery. The math never gets a fair shot because your fear interrupts it.
The Fix
What you will learn in 4 weeks
This isn't theory. It's the exact process I use to run automated portfolios without losing sleep.
A Platform That Actually Runs
We'll show you how to set up NinjaTrader 8 so it doesn't crash, freeze, or eat itself alive. Desktop or VPS — your choice, but it has to be stable.
Portfolio Trading, Not Strategy Gambling
We stop hunting the one perfect bot. We build a portfolio of boring, uncorrelated strategies that balance each other out when one hits a rough patch.
Funded Accounts as Training Wheels
Why risk your own cash first? We use 25K and 50K evaluation accounts to build discipline. Then we scale. We've seen traders run 20+ live accounts from this foundation.
Let Data Drive Your Decisions
We define the worst-case scenario before we go live. That way, when a drawdown hits — and it will — you already know if it's normal or if something's broken.
Is this for you?
Let's not waste each other's time
We want the right people in this room. Here's how to know if that's you.
This is for you if...
You already trade futures and you're tired of guessing.
You have NinjaTrader 8 (free version) and a Windows PC or VPS ready to go.
You can show up twice a week and do the homework.
You want a system, not a shortcut.
This is NOT for you if...
You are an emotional trader and not willing to learn a new approach.
You can't handle a losing week without unplugging everything.
You want me to hand you a 'set it and forget it' system with no effort on your part.
You aren't willing to show to class on time and spend 4 weeks learning the tools.
The Curriculum
8 live classes. No fluff.
Every session is live. Every session is recorded. You get homework. You get Q&A. You get the replay.

Class 2
Tue / Sep 8 — 8PM EST / 7PM CST
Constructing a Diversified Portfolio
Stop hunting for one perfect bot. We spread risk across several uncorrelated strategies that balance each other out. You'll generate portfolios with the Portfolio Generator, run them through the Analyzer, and learn how to save and load them.
Week 2
Plan & Analyze It
Class 3
Thu / Oct 8 — 8PM EST / 7PM CST
Class 3
Thu / Sep 10 — 8PM EST / 7PM CST
Backtesting & Strategy Testing
How to run a backtest, an optimization, and batch testing — and how to read what comes back. A robust strategy is repeatable and boring across years of different volatility, not tuned to look flawless.
Class 4

Class 4
Tue / Sep 15 — 8PM EST / 7PM CST
Funded Accounts and Scaling
How evaluation companies actually make their money, and why chasing the payout is probably what's been sinking you. Picking the right account size. EOD vs trailing drawdown. Then we run your portfolio through the funded account simulator and price out what it really costs each month.
Week 3
Go Live and Review
Class 5
Thu / Oct 15 — 8PM EST / 7PM CST
Class 5
Thu / Sep 17 — 8PM EST / 7PM CST
Going LIVE

Class 6
Tue / Oct 20 — 8PM EST / 7PM CST
Class 8
Tue / Sep 29 — 8PM EST / 7PM CST
Tracking True Progress & Daily Oversight
Automation is active system management, not set-and-forget. Your daily checklist: did trades fire only in the window, at the right risk and targets, with a stable connection? The Portfolio Tracker compares live results to your benchmarks. Then we drop daily P&L and grade three skills instead: consistency, emotional regulation, and decision discipline.
Week 4
The Psychology of Automated Trading
Class 7
Thu / Oct 22 — 8PM EST / 7PM CST
Class 7
Thu / Sep 24 — 8PM EST / 7PM CST

Class 8
Tue / Oct 27 — 8PM EST / 7PM CST
Class 6
Tue / Sep 22 — 8PM EST / 7PM CST
Review, Q&A, and How the Bots Operate
We tie up loose ends and get you unstuck. Daily, weekly, and monthly housekeeping. A high-level walk through how each bot operates, plus the PDFs for every one. And what you do next.
TECHNOLOGY
See The Tools You'll Actually Use
What you plan, what you run, and how you review it.
01 PORTFOLIO BUILDER
Push Button Portfolio Builder
Choose your account size and risk tolerance, and the Builder assembles a bot portfolio that actually fits it. No spreadsheets, no guessing how many contracts you can carry.
02 PORTFOLIO ANALYZER
See The Whole Bot Portfolio
One bot can look great alone and wreck you in a portfolio. The Analyzer shows combined drawdown, correlation, and expectancy so you know what you're really running.
03 PORTFOLIO TRACKER
See Profit/Loss on Porfolio Tracker
Old routine: watch charts all day, second-guess every entry, hope it works out. New routine: open the Tracker once a week, compare live results to the plan, adjust, close the laptop.
04 TRADE COPIER
One Portfolio, Every Account
Mirror your bots across funded prop accounts (Lucid, Blusky, etc) and your personal cash account at the same time, with per-account sizing.
05 TRADING BOTS
15 Bots, 586 Settings
Unlocked in the workshop. Pre-built strategies for NinjaTrader 8 with settings already tested across 4.5 years of data — you deploy them, you don't code them.
Seeing bot portfolios is one thing. Running the portfolio builder is another.
14 days free. No credit card required.

What you'll actually be able to do
Not theory. Not motivation. Real skills you can use this week.
Set up NinjaTrader 8 without crashes
You'll know how to build a stable environment — desktop or VPS — so your platform doesn't freeze when it matters.
Build a real portfolio
No more betting on one strategy. You'll combine uncorrelated bots so one bad month doesn't wipe you out.
Read a backtest without getting fooled
You'll spot curve-fitted nonsense and stop chasing win rate like it's the only number that matters.
Run a funded account evaluation
You'll understand the drawdown rules before you break them, and you'll know how to scale without blowing the account.
Review systems in less than 1 hour/week
You'll have a simple checklist to know if your bots are healthy or if something needs your attention.
Keep your hands off the bots
You'll know the difference between normal drawdown and a broken system — and when fear is lying to you.
Who's teaching this
A little about us
We've been building and running automated trading systems for years. We've blown up accounts. We've fixed bad setups. We've watched good traders quit because they expected magic and got frustrated.
We built Push Button Trading because we got tired of seeing people buy bots they didn't understand, run them on computers that couldn't handle them, and panic the first time the market went sideways.
The 15 bots, 586 settings, and 4.5 years of backtests aren't theory. They're the exact system we use. The masterclass is us walking you through it live, so you don't have to learn the hard way.

FAQ
Common Questions
Straight answers. No runaround.
Do I need trading or coding experience?
No coding. None. If you know the basics of futures, you're fine. If you're brand new, the first class will get you oriented. The rest is step-by-step.
What if I miss a live session?
Every class is recorded. You'll get the replay. Plus you have a full year in the community to ask follow-up questions.
What if I can't make the class live?
No problem. The whole thing is recorded. You'll get access to every replay, so you can watch on your own schedule and still ask questions inside the community.
Is this the same as the free trial or the workshop?
No. The free trial is just the Portfolio Builder and Analyzer. The workshop is broader. This masterclass is a focused 4-week live program built around portfolio architecture and scaling.
What software and account do I need?
NinjaTrader 8 and a Windows PC or VPS. The strategies work with cash accounts and funded evaluation accounts from prop firms like Lucid and Blusky.
Are the 15 bots and 586 settings really included?
Yes. You get the bot files and pre-defined settings as part of your 1-year Community Membership. No upsell.
What's the refund policy?
Attend the first 4 sessions online (attendance taken), complete the portfolio builds, and if you don't see a clear path forward, email us for a full refund.

What matters is that you stop guessing, stop being emotional and start running a system. This is the fastest way to get there.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. 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 life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is 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 of 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 which can adversely affect trading results.
