September Cohort — Live Program
September Bot Trading Masterclass
Most traders buy a bot, turn it on, and hope. That's not automation. That's gambling with extra steps. In this 4-week masterclass, I'll show you how to build a real automated trading system — one that doesn't fall apart the first time the market gets weird.

The Problem
Why most bot traders never make it
I'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 Sabotage
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 I'll teach you 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
I'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 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.

Why Most Automation Setups Fail Before the First Trade
Your bot is only as good as the computer running it. We walk through the real NinjaTrader 8 setup. VPS vs desktop. Data feed costs. Why OneDrive will quietly destroy your files. And the simple weekly maintenance most people skip.
Class 2
Tue / Sep 8 — 8PM EST / 7PM CST

What 'Good' Actually Looks Like in a Backtest

What you'll actually be able to do
Not theory. Not motivation. Real skills you can use on Monday.
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.
Portfolio Trading, Not Strategy Gambling
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.
Do a weekly system review in under an hour
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 me
I've been building and running automated trading systems for years. I've blown up accounts. I've fixed bad setups. I've watched good traders quit because they expected magic and got work.
I built Push Button Trading because I 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 17 bots, 586 settings, and 4.5 years of backtests aren't theory. They're the system we use. The masterclass is me walking you through it live, so you don't have to learn the hard way.
The Offer
$1,800. One time.

The "Do The Work" Guarantee
Show up to all 8 sessions. Do the portfolio builds. If you still don't see a clear path to automating your trading, email us within 14 days of the final class and I'll refund every dollar.
That guarantee only works if you do the work. I expect you to attend, build, and ask questions.
FAQ
Questions before you join
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 17 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 in person (attendance taken), complete the portfolio builds, and if you don't see a clear path forward, email us for a full refund.
The September cohort is open.
What matters is that you stop guessing, stop being emotional and start running a system. This is the fastest way to get there.
