Tip: Slow Down to Go Quicker

Traders can progress at their own pace, spending one day or more on each stage. Stage 1 introduces core signal concepts and trade-management controllers that provide a major edge—helping traders learn when to trade, when not to trade, how to use partial exits, and more. Winning traders build skill over time and choose the level of automation that best fits their trade plan. VIP traders often average 66%–80% automation for prop-firm trading.

All traders should begin with Stage 1 through Stage 5 in order to properly learn the system’s features in both breadth and depth.

During these stages, nothing should be changed. We do not tempt or distract traders with alternative settings optimized to someone else’s preferences. Stage 1–4 settings are intentionally vanilla and generic — a clean foundation that can later serve as a base for personal customization.

There is no “one size fits all.” Personalized optimization belongs in Stage 5 and beyond. That process can become an endless pursuit unless a workable compromise is accepted. In trading, progress comes faster through structured discipline than constant tweaking.

Stages 1–4: Learn the Framework (Do Not Change Settings)

The goal in Stages 1–4 is to build understanding and consistency:

We do not want to muddy the water by suggesting configuration changes at this stage. The turnkey workspaces are intentionally designed to teach the framework exactly as it is.

Stage 5: Eval / Performance / Live (Customization Becomes Appropriate)

Stage 5 is where traders may begin personalizing execution and risk parameters.

At this stage, traders should:
