TOP QUESTIONS
Can I use the trading bots to help get a funded account unlocked?
Yes, our bots are designed to execute precise trading strategies that align with the requirements of many prop trading firms. Our technology allows you to automate your trading, giving you a better chance of reaching the goals set by these prop trading programs.
If the trading bots make the trades for me, why do I need a class?
Bots are sophisticated technology tools - you need to first understand how to back test & operate them.
The class empowers you to make informed decisions, ensuring that you're not just relying on automation but also enhancing your overall trading skills and knowledge.
Once class ends, will the bots still be available to use, how much support is there for questions, troubleshooting, etc?
Yes, as long as you're a member of the Premium Community, we provides new features and new versions of the bot technology, new bots, as well as LIVE weekly calls with Matt, which provides ongoing bot trading support.
I'm new to bots and prop trading, is there a learning curve? Can I see results and profits soon?
Yes, but it’s manageable with the right resources and support. Understanding how bots operate, setting up strategies, and grasping the fundamentals of prop trading all take some time and practice.

CLASS OUTLINE
Month 1 - Intro to Bot Trading Software
Get started with the Ninja Trader 8 bot trading software by downloading and installing it on your desktop / laptop. Learn how to connect it with multiple brokers for trading stocks, cryptocurrencies, futures, and more. Dive into the strategy analyzer to understand back testing and see how your strategies perform. Plus, import your first trading bot for day trading and run your first automated back test to see how it performs in different scenarios
Month 2 - Bucket Testing Instruments
We take a closer look at the outcomes of your back tests by examining different elements like time zones, connections, and the specific days or times the bots are trading. Understand how to identify key trading signals and analyze different timeframes and data series. Learn to pinpoint your most successful strategies by using the 'profit factor' to separate the winners. Plus, get hands-on with bucket testing to see how changes might improve your results.
Month 3 - Optimization Testing
Discover how to optimize for risk, profit-taking, maximum lot size, and stop-loss padding through day-of-the-week testing for single-day strategies. Learn to save and reload settings templates, identify backtest anomalies, and handle wildcard trades. Intro to bot 2 (day trading bot).
Month 4 - GO LIVE with bots on your Desktop Computer
Learn how to attach a bot to LIVE charts, configure GO LIVE, adjust settings, and use templates, along with a detailed checklist for going live and configuring LIVE accounts on your desktop/laptop. Our bot technology is compatible with traditional brokers like TD Ameritrade, Interactive Brokers, and dozens of funded account programs. In this class, we'll launch our first bots in practice accounts.
Month 5 - Combining Backtests
Review student backtests and provide a brief overview of the optimization testing process. Utilize templates for both backtests and optimizations to ensure consistency and efficiency. Discuss the process of updating bots with newer versions. Additionally, analyze the combined backtest process to evaluate portfolio-level performance across multiple combined backtests using 3rd party tools.
Month 6 - GO LIVE with bots in the cloud using VPS
Learn how to setup a VPS to run your bots in the cloud, attach a bot to LIVE charts, configure GO LIVE, adjust settings, and use templates, along with a detailed checklist for configuring LIVE accounts in the cloud. In this class, we'll launch our first bots in practice accounts, but in the cloud vs your desktop.
Month 7 - Parallel Testing and End of Week Test Reviews
Learn how to review live trades versus backtest trades from the previous week, focusing on single-day bots with different configurations for each day. Compare parallel test results of backtests versus live trades, and discuss when to let the bots continue and when to adjust them. Additionally, we explore bot 3 hybrid day trading and swing trading bot.
Month 8 - Intro to New Bots
Narrow range trading bots specialize in identifying periods of low volatility, executing trades when price movements are confined within a tight range. These bots employ strategies such as breakout or mean reversion, aiming to capitalize on price movements as markets transition from low to high volatility. The 10EMA (Exponential Moving Average) bot utilizes the 10-period EMA as a key indicator for making trading decisions. This bot may initiate buy or sell orders based on the price action and the EMA, capturing trends and momentum.
Month 9 - Forward Testing
Unlike backtesting, which uses historical data to assess a strategy's potential, forward testing involves applying the algorithm to real-time or simulated market conditions. This approach allows traders to observe how the bot performs in a live environment before committing actual capital. By analyzing forward testing results, traders can fine-tune their algorithms, adjust parameters, and ensure robust performance under dynamic market conditions. This iterative process enhances the bot's reliability and adaptability, crucial factors in achieving consistent profitability in automated trading strategie
Month 10 - Bot Trading Psychology & Expectations
In this class, we delve into the common challenges traders encounter when launching automated bots for trading. We discuss strategies to sidestep potential pitfalls, emphasizing realistic expectations in the realm of bot trading. By exploring these issues comprehensively, participants gain insights into optimizing bot performance while navigating the complexities of financial markets effectively.
Month 11 - Trading Plan Finalization
You've had time to log the hours and trades in the simulated environment. You've been building confidence and optimizing your plan. It's time to add the final polish and transition into live paper trading. Begin trading during the live market hours but with a paper trading (fake money) account. If you're ready, you may have already begun trading an assessment account for a funded account. Let's review some of the trades, getting feedback. It's time to be introduced to trading Oil Futures this month.
Month 12 - Final Review + Stats
We conduct a final review of the start to finish process for evaluating a new bot, starting with bucket testing, optimization, settings file templates, and report exports. We will cover going live and building your plans for the upcoming month, along with tips to keep all your back tests, settings, and bots organized.

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
I want to share my awesome experience with the BOT trading class I recently completed with Matt. If you’re looking to boost your trading skills, this class is a must! Matt is not only super knowledgeable, but also incredibly passionate about teaching. He made sure we really understand the material and could use it to improve our trading strategies. This class didn’t just improve my skills, it also created a wonderful, supportive learning community. Highly recommended!
- Nima S
★★★★★
Thanks Matt. I can't recommend your training too much.
It's utterly shifted my mindset towards trading. Van Tharp (Market Wizards 1) always said "Develop a trading system that's right for you.
I've been looking for this for a long time.
- Bruce D
★★★★★
Just a shout out regarding Matt’s automated bot trading class. This is the second time I took it and I needed it, previously I’ve struggled to get it all together. This review got me to take a look at how I was back-testing and how I was evaluating my results. I realize that it did not really know how to identify what a good bot setup was. All in all, I highly recommend that if you are considering taking the class, DO IT!
- Larry B
★★★★★
Just completed the Bot Trading Class with Matt DeLong. The information presented was great and if you are a person who struggles with decision making or influenced by emotions, i highly recommend you consider the Bots. Being an analytical person, this approach to trading is what I believe i need to have any semblance of success and Matt was great at conveying the diligent approach to managing the technology.
- Paige W
★★★★★
Another great bot class with Matt DeLong. I have had the good fortune of participating in several of his bot classes over the years. I learn new things with every class. If you have not taken a bot class with him, bot trading is not nearly as intimidating as it may sound.
- Harold C
★★★★★
It's quite surreal, I've only investing $500 of my own funds in funded accounts and it just returned me $6,000. I can't think you and your team enough for your training and bots.
- Shawn B
★★★★★
I recently completed the course for the second time as well. If you’re considering taking the class, I highly recommend it. After a year and a half of struggling previously, I was finally able to successfully fund a prop account. Previously, I struggled with consistency and often gave back my profits. In this class, Matt provides comprehensive knowledge and skills necessary to become a successful bot trader. You will learn how to effectively manage and optimize bots as well as test various strategies to identify the most effective ones. In my opinion, this is the best approach to trading and I have no desire to return to manual trading. Furthermore, I expressed my deepest gratitude to Matt and team for their efforts and thank you so much.
- Timothy D
★★★★★
I just finished my bot class, and I am so glad I went ahead and took it! I’ve taken plenty of online courses and this one is head and shoulders above the rest. The small class size really encourages participation and you have no choice but to make progress while in the course. And the icing on the cake is that the course never really ends in the premium community, we still have weekly calls for support and an amazing engaged community. I’m working on getting a $250k account funded right now and I know I’ll get there.. I have no choice but to get there with the support of this community.
- Alicia M
★★★★★
I recently completed the fully automated bot trading class, it’s awesome! Having a full-time job on the east coast makes it very difficult for me to actually trade markets the way I would like to. Now I can rely on the bots to do it for me, all I need to do is little homework on the weekend to make sure they are behaving the way I want them to. It’s all highly beneficial for my trading psychology, relying on the past back testing to predict the future. I can’t recommend this course.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
CLASS INFO
Can I use bots to help get a funded account unlocked?
Yes, that is one of the top reasons traders use the bots, in addition to the time freedom.
If trading bots make trades for me, why do I need to take a class?
Bots are sophisticated technology, you need to understand how to test & operate them.
What happens if I miss a class, is it recorded?
Yes, every class is recorded and sent out to each student. If you miss a class you will be able to go back and watch the entire session
What if I want to take more than one 12-month mentorship at a time?
You only get access to one mentorship at a time PER membership. Want to have two mentorships going at the same time? Pay for TWO memberships. It's that simple. Instead of $150/month, you would pay $300/month.
Do I need an prop firm / assessment account for this class?
No you don't, but it's highly recommned, you will need a data package in order to test the bots in a simulated environment as you're learning. Having a low cost prop account would provide the data needed and an option to work towards getting funded.
I don't want to wait an entire year to get the education.
We have an on-demand training course that offers a similar education, but it's pre-recorded, includes access to our BASIC bot community and you take it at your own pace and includes 60-days of premium community access.
BOT INFO
Are the bots for me if I have no experience trading?
We have had plenty of people who have never placed a trade in their life sign up for the bots course. Some extra knowledge on trading wouldn't hurt, but is not necessarily required.
What OS / platform do the trading bots work with?
The bots operate within our preferred trading software, NinjaTrader 8, which is compatible on Windows-only operating systems. If you use a Mac, you can install Parallels to get it installed on a Mac. More about our recommended trading software.
Can you provide a video of the trading bots in action?
The playlist demonstrating how the ORB, Snapback VolumeBot, 10ema and NR7 bots operate are embedded in the videos about 1/3 of the way up this page.
What is the win rate of the bots?
It is difficult to say the failure to success rate of the bots since you are the one deciding what to run them on. Each bot has about a dozen different settings. Matt will show you how to think through which settings to use. Ultimately you will be making the decisions on what you want to run each bot on based on back test results.
What size account do the bots work on?
It works on any account size. Each trading bot comes with customizable settings, allowing you to easily adjust parameters such as risk level based on your account size.
Can I use the bots with any broker?
The tool lives inside the NinjaTrader8 software platform and operates in that environment, however NinjaTrader8 supports both traditional brokers (like TD Ameritrade and Interactive Brokers) as well as dozens of prop firms for funded account trading. The asset you can trade depends on the broker selected.
How many bots do we get in class?
In class, we go over about 5 different bots and spend time on each one explaining how the bot works, how the strategy is executed, and related homework so we can talk about it the next class. Matt shows you how to use all of the tools during class.
