How it works
Here is what happens, step by step.
- A strategy spots its setup. Each strategy watches one market, like the Nasdaq or gold. When its rules line up, it decides to buy or sell.
- The order goes to your account. The software sends the order to your brokerage account. Every order comes with a stop: a price where a losing trade gets closed.
- The trade is managed for you. The software moves the stop and takes profit by the rules. It also closes trades at set times.
- You can watch and step in. You see every open trade and every past trade. You can turn any strategy off at any time.

Where it runs
Section titled “Where it runs”Today, the strategies run in NinjaTrader on a server (a VPS) that we set up for you. The server is always on, so your strategies keep working when your own computer is off.
We are also building ZTA Atlas, a desktop and phone app that shows your strategies and trades in one place. See ZTA Atlas (beta).
