A NinjaTrader 8 Futures Trading Execution Engine that hunts, executes, and manages every trade for you. One subscription.
Includes the IOTS Futures Trading System Course — a $999 value.
Gideon completely isolates market structure and trade identification from trade management — pick the architecture that fits how you trade, and switch any time.
Pure, rule-based execution. Fixed contract volume with a mechanical profit-lock and open runners — no prop firm math.
Built for evaluations and capital preservation. Gideon sizes every trade against your trailing drawdown and enforces firm rules automatically.
Gideon hunts and identifies the setup, then hands execution to your saved NT8 ATM bracket template — your rules, your management.
Gideon V5.5.5 supports 1,600 baseline mechanical configurations, which translate functionally into 6 distinct professional trading style archetypes. Because the core engine strictly separates structural analysis (AMT Value Area + 30% Dead Zone + 21 EMA + Price Action) from trade execution, every configuration maps to one of six primary day-trading styles.

Trader Intent: Capture rapid momentum pushes off trend exhaustion without staying exposed to market reversal risk.
How Gideon Behaves: The trader selects NinjaTraderATM and inputs a custom ATM template featuring tight multiple profit targets (e.g., Target 1 at +8 ticks, Target 2 at +16 ticks, with stop moving to breakeven +1 after 6 ticks of profit). Gideon identifies high-probability 2nd Entry touches at the 21 EMA, triggers the entry, and lets the local ATM harvest liquidity in seconds.
Trader Intent: Exploit range-bound market profiles by fading structural extremes back toward value.
How Gideon Behaves: Active exclusively when price extends to Value Area High (VAH) or Value Area Low (VAL). The engine ignores the 30% Dead Zone and waits for green-red-green or red-green-red rejection stems. It executes a limit/stop order back into the Value Area with stops tucked beyond the structural extreme, targeting the opposing Value Area boundary.
Trader Intent: Catch large directional expansions during trend days that break out of the initial balance.
How Gideon Behaves: Using Built-In Brackets with TradeTargetTicks = 0, Gideon suppresses all counter-trend setups outside the Value Area. Once price breaks out, it triggers on Clean Air Wifeys and True Breakout Retests. It ratchets the stop at each progressive 1R interval (1R, 2R, 3R, 4R), staying in the trend until a structural pullback closes below the trailing stop.
Trader Intent: Systematically pass prop firm evaluations over 5+ trading days without violating single-day consistency limits.
How Gideon Behaves: Sizing is throttled to FiveDayPace (20% max contract allowance). If the firm enforces a 40% consistency cap (such as Bulenox), Gideon calculates the dollar threshold and automatically flattens active trades and locks out triggers the moment the day's profit hits the consistency safety buffer.
Trader Intent: Protect live prop firm capital, secure performance payouts, and avoid trailing drawdown clawbacks.
How Gideon Behaves: Configured to ProFunded with conservative PercentRisk (1.0-1.5%). The trader activates EnforceProFundedDailyTarget with a modest 32-tick (+8 point) trade target. Once the single-target trade concludes or the daily buffer is secured, Gideon locks for the day, preventing over-trading and locking in payout qualification.
Trader Intent: Run private or high-tier accounts under strict mathematical loss-to-profit ratios and strict volatility protection.
How Gideon Behaves: Configured to CustomFirm with a hard 20-tick stop clamp, 3 contracts maximum, a $1,000 profit target, and a $1,500 daily loss limit. Gideon caps maximum single-trade loss at $750 regardless of volatility spikes, giving the trader exactly two full stopouts before permanently liquidating and locking the session. Reaching a +27 tick gain triggers an instant daily profit lockdown.

V5 · NT8
The complete autonomous futures trading system for NinjaTrader 8 and TradingView. The AMT execution brain hunts structural setups around VAH/VAL and the 21 EMA, while the V5 risk manager auto-sizes contracts across three risk profiles, enforces daily loss lockouts, trails winners with the 1R ratcheting engine, and kills the session the moment your daily target is hit.
