AutoPilot is designed for (E-mini) or MES (Micro E-mini) charts. NQ (Nasdaq) and MNQ (Micro Nasdaq) charts are also compatible. We will provide you with the ES/MES and NQ/MNQ settings.

AutoPilot Automated Trading System
Within NinjaTrader, AutoPilot can be found in the Strategies area. Add AutoPilot, configure its settings, click Enable, then click Apply. AutoPilot will then find trades and place them for you based on the time settings and the method’s unique algorithm.
Automated trading, also called algorithmic or “algo” trading, is when computer software buys and sells on your behalf.
Yes, “algorithmic” is a fancy word. However, the word’s meaning is simple. It’s when a computer automates the trading process. You do not need to be financial expert or a computer expert.
Some algorthmic systems are called trading bots or trading robots.
AutoPilot was designed for everyday, regular people/traders like you. In your Member account, we include everything needed to get you started. Download the software, watch the training videos, plug it in, and let the system do its thing! Also, don’t forget to attend the live training.
Why Time-Based Automation Matters
One of the biggest flaws in many automated trading systems is that they trade too often and for too long. Markets do not behave the same way throughout the day. Liquidity, volatility, and institutional participation change depending on the time of session.
AutoPilot is intentionally designed to operate only during specific, pre-defined periods of the trading day—periods that historically offer the best risk-to-reward conditions. By narrowing the trading window, AutoPilot avoids unnecessary exposure during low-quality or erratic market phases.
This time-based approach helps:
- Reduce emotional stress
- Prevent overtrading
- Protect capital during unfavorable conditions
It’s automation with discipline built in.
Built for Modern Volatility
Today’s markets are faster, more volatile, and more algorithm-driven than ever before. Strategies that worked years ago often struggle in current conditions.
AutoPilot was built specifically for modern volatility. Its internal logic adapts to changing market behavior and avoids forcing trades when conditions do not align with its core methodology.
Rather than trying to trade every small fluctuation, AutoPilot is designed to:
- Wait patiently
- Engage only when structure and momentum align
- Hold trades long enough to capture meaningful moves
This makes it fundamentally different from scalping bots or high-frequency systems that rely on constant activity.
Price Action at the Core — Not Indicators
While AutoPilot is fully automated, its foundation is pure price action.
There are no gimmicks, no curve-fitted indicator stacks, and no reliance on obscure calculations. The system is based on repeatable price behaviors that were identified through extensive chart study, backtesting, and live market observation.
In simple terms:
- We studied what price does repeatedly
- We isolated what works
- We automated those behaviors
That’s why AutoPilot behaves more like a professional trader with rules, not a robotic signal generator.
Flexible Control for Different Trading Styles
AutoPilot can be used in multiple ways, depending on your comfort level and experience:
Fully Automated
- Turn it on
- Let it place and manage trades automatically
- Monitor results without constant screen time
Semi-Automated
- Allow AutoPilot to find trades
- Manually approve or manage entries
- Retain discretion when desired
This flexibility makes AutoPilot suitable for:
- Newer traders who want structure
- Experienced traders who want efficiency
- Traders with limited time during the day
You stay in control — AutoPilot simply does the heavy lifting.
Risk Management Built Into the System
Risk management is not an afterthought with AutoPilot — it is a core component.
Features include:
- Configurable profit targets and stop losses
- Independent control over trade parameters
- Daily profit and loss management options
- Limits designed to prevent runaway drawdowns
These safeguards help traders avoid one of the most common automation mistakes: letting a system trade unchecked.
Designed for ES/MES and NQ/MNQ Traders
AutoPilot was engineered specifically for:
- ES (E-mini S&P)
- MES (Micro E-mini S&P)
- NQ (E-mini Nasdaq)
- MNQ (Micro E-mini Nasdaq)
We provide optimized settings for each market so traders are not left guessing. Whether you trade standard contracts or micros, AutoPilot is scalable to your account size.
