WHY SERAPHIM QUANT EXISTS

A trading plan is easy to write. The hard part is following it.

A trading plan is easy to write. The hard part is following it.

Most traders don't fail because their strategy is bad. They fail because, in the moment, they don't follow it. It breaks down in three predictable ways:

The emotion problem

You know what you should do. You don't do it. The stop loss approaches, you move it. Emotion is the most common reason retail accounts end below where they started.

The consistency problem

A strategy that works once isn't a strategy. Markets shift. A real edge has to be applied identically across thousands of trades — not 'when you feel like it.'

The execution problem

Speed, timing, precision. Manual execution introduces slippage, missed entries, and fatigue. Machines don't get tired or second-guess.

OUR ENGINEERING

A system that removes the variables you can't control.

A system that removes the variables you can't control.

The strategy executes your plan exactly as configured — without hesitating, without getting tired, without negotiating with you under pressure. The strategy has been tested against six years of historical data. The system just has to run it.

01

Emotion-free execution

Every entry, every stop, every target — calculated by precise mathematical rules. It doesn't hesitate when the moment arrives. It won't 'skip' a trade because 'this one looks weird,' and it won't move a stop to 'give it a chance.' Discipline stops being a daily effort and becomes automatic.

02

A stop loss that adapts to the market

Unlike a fixed stop, it sizes each trade's risk from the actual volatility at the moment of the breakout. Quiet markets mean tighter stops; volatile markets mean proportionally wider ones — with configurable ceiling and floor to match your tolerance.

03

A backtest you can reproduce yourself

Any buyer can run the same backtest in NinjaTrader's Strategy Analyzer and get consistent results. No secret sauce, no unverifiable settings — the numbers you see here are the numbers you reproduce.

04

Built to adapt across markets and styles

Over 30 configurable parameters, grouped logically: momentum, volume, trend, session, and risk management. Each filter toggles on or off individually, and each parameter adapts to the instrument. The same engine that runs MNQ can adapt to index futures, metals, energy, or any liquid instrument — with proper validation.

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.

Hypothetical/backtested results — not indicative of future results. See the full Hypothetical Performance Disclosure.

Every year in the backtest closed above breakeven

Long and short contributed almost equally — roughly 50/50 — by design.

Validated through six statistical tests.

01
OVERALL ROBUSTNESS

9 of 9 criteria met

The backtest met all nine robustness criteria. See the full statistical report for the breakdown.

02
PERFORMANCE STABILITY

No edge decay

The second half of the period performed as well as the first.

03
STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE

p < 0.001

Less than a 1-in-1,000 chance the edge is random.

04
MONTE CARLO

Worst case: +$30,590

Across 5,000 simulations, every single path ended above breakeven.

05
SLIPPAGE RESILIENCE

Holds at ±5 ticks

Edge survives 1,000 noise simulations — not razor-thin.

06
TIME-WINDOW CONSISTENCY

Rolling-window consistency (backtest)

In the backtest, every 12-, 18- and 24-month rolling window closed above breakeven.

RISK DISCLOSURE

All figures represent historical backtest results of 2 MNQ contracts with $1.30 round-trip commission applied. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.

HOW IT WORKS

Five steps. Repeated thousands of times.

Five steps. Repeated thousands of times.

Once it's running, the strategy executes this sequence on every signal — automatically, with no input from you.

1

It builds the opening range

At the start of your chosen session, the strategy marks the high and low of the first few minutes — that range becomes the reference for the day.

2

It waits for a confirmed breakout

A brief poke across the line isn't enough. The strategy waits for the breakout to be confirmed before it considers an entry.

3

It checks every active filter

Before taking a trade, the strategy runs each active filter — ADX, CHOP, MACD, VWAP, and many more. If everything passes, it enters; if any filter fails, it stands aside. No exceptions.

4

It sizes the stop and targets

The strategy sizes the stop from the size of the breakout itself, then sets the targets as fixed multiples of that risk — automatically, on every trade.

5

It manages the position to the end

From there the strategy handles everything: breakeven activation, the trailing stop, and partial closes — all without your involvement.

Illustrative example of a single trade. Not indicative of typical or future results.

It does what you would do — if you never hesitated, never improvised, and never got tired.

PURCHASE & ACTIVATION

An active NinjaTrader 8 license. We sell only the trading strategy — not NinjaTrader itself. If you don't already have NinjaTrader, most brokers that support the platform offer it for free.

You'll get two emails. The first confirms your purchase right away. The second, within 24 business hours, contains the download link for a .zip file with the strategy, the presets, the manual, and installation instructions.

Activation is typically completed within 24 business hours of your purchase. Once it's active, the strategy works automatically every time you launch NinjaTrader with your username.

Just email support@seraphimquant.com with your order number and the correct username, and we'll fix it before activation. After activation it can still be changed, but it requires an additional step.

Yes. Payment processing is global — we accept credit and debit cards from most countries, and any applicable taxes are calculated automatically based on your location.

USING THE SYSTEM

It executes every decision based on rules that carry a long-term mathematical edge. It doesn't hesitate, doesn't get tired, and doesn't negotiate with itself under pressure. It won't 'skip' a trade because 'this one looks off,' and it won't move a stop to 'give the market a chance.' Discipline stops being a daily effort and becomes automatic.

You don't need any programming experience, but you do need basic familiarity with NinjaTrader 8 and a general understanding of futures trading — what a stop, a target, and a contract are. The manual includes a primer, but it doesn't teach trading from scratch.

The included presets are tuned for MNQ on 5-minute bars. It can run on other liquid futures (MES, ES, NQ, metals, energies) and other timeframes, but doing so shifts the optimal range of several parameters — so you'd adjust them and validate the new configuration in backtest before trading it live. That part is up to you.

Yes — all 30+ parameters are configurable. The included presets are tuned specifically for MNQ on 5-minute bars, so if you change parameters or switch instruments, revalidate the new configuration in backtest before trading it live. Changing settings without validation can meaningfully degrade behavior.

Any broker or data provider that connects through NinjaTrader 8 — for example Tradovate, Rithmic, CQG, Continuum, or Kinetick. If your provider works with NinjaTrader, it works.

Yes — on any prop firm that runs NinjaTrader 8 and allows automated strategies. It includes a configurable daily loss limit to help you stay within strict risk rules, though complying with your firm's specific rules is always your responsibility.

It works technically in any NinjaTrader 8 account, including evaluation accounts. But every prop firm sets its own policy on automated strategies — some allow them freely, some only on funded accounts after you pass, and some prohibit them entirely. Check your firm's specific rules before using it in an evaluation. The configurable daily loss and profit limits can help respect strict management rules, but final compliance is up to you.

HARDWARE & OPERATION

It runs on any setup that handles NinjaTrader 8 reasonably well. Recommended: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), an Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 (or better), at least 8 GB of RAM (16 GB recommended), a stable internet connection, and a 1920×1080 display or larger. It will run on more modest setups, but the specs above give the best experience.

You can run it from your own computer — a VPS isn't required. Because it's an opening-range breakout strategy, it only trades during the session window you choose, so it doesn't need to run 24/5; you just need your machine on and stable during that window. If you do leave it running around the clock, it simply waits for the next session. A VPS is a convenient option (continuous uptime independent of your power or internet, and it keeps running when your computer is off), but it's optional — and since it evaluates at the close of each bar, not on the millisecond, a stable, reasonably fast connection is plenty.

You can use any VPS where you can install NinjaTrader 8. Your license is tied to your NinjaTrader username, not to a specific machine, so you can access it from whichever computer — your own or a VPS — you log into with your account. The license is personal and non-transferable; sharing credentials with third parties violates the EULA and may result in access being revoked.

Yes. You can run several instances at the same time — for example one taking longs and another taking shorts, or separate instances on different instruments in their own charts. Each instance runs independently, with its own parameters and its own position management.

RESULTS, SUPPORT & POLICIES

Yes — and that's intentional. Because it evaluates on the close of each bar, you can run the exact same backtest in NinjaTrader's Strategy Analyzer with High Fill Resolution on NinjaTrader data and get consistent results. You don't have to take our numbers on faith.

Expect it. No trading system wins every month. The historical backtest shows periodic losing streaks within a system that finished every year above breakeven over the test period. Drawdowns are a normal part of the process and are documented in the manual.

The figures are based on 2 MNQ contracts. Position size is configurable, and results scale proportionally with it — larger size amplifies both gains and losses, and increases the capital at risk and drawdowns by the same proportion. Sizing is your decision, based on your capital and risk tolerance. Hypothetical results don't guarantee future performance.

No — under no circumstances. It's a software tool, not an investment-management service or financial advice. Backtest results are hypothetical, and future results depend on many variables outside our control. See our Risk Disclosure for full detail.

Support: email support@seraphimquant.com, with a reply within 48 business hours — covering installation, activation, documented features, and bug reports (not trading advice). Updates: minor updates (bug fixes and compatibility with new NinjaTrader versions) are included for all plans; future major versions may require a paid upgrade. Refunds: because the product is digital and activates immediately, refunds aren't offered once a license is activated, with limited exceptions (a duplicate charge, or an unresolvable technical failure) detailed in our Refund Policy.

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 lifestyle. 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.
