A single-setup system for ES and MES: it watches for reclaimed levels and support buys, and fires locally through NinjaTrader when the pattern completes. One methodology, no configuration matrix.

Scorecard

  • Cost

    weight 30%

    All-in monthly outlay — software, platform, data and any required hosting. This is the hurdle a strategy clears before the trader sees a dollar, so it carries the most weight.

    11.4/30

  • Automation

    weight 25%

    Whether the product places trades, assists a human, or only signals. A tool that needs you at the desk is not automation regardless of what it costs.

    25/25

  • Coverage

    weight 20%

    Instruments and markets genuinely supported, including whether smaller contract sizes are available to smaller accounts.

    6.8/20

  • Resilience

    weight 15%

    Monitoring, automatic recovery from disconnects and platform restarts, and the support attached. Unattended systems fail operationally far more often than they fail strategically.

    9/15

  • Transparency

    weight 10%

    Whether the logic is describable. A buyer who cannot say what a system does has no basis for deciding whether a losing month is variance or breakage.

    9.5/10

Total 62/100

Assessment

One methodology, automated properly. Narrowness is the pitch rather than a shortcoming — a trader who already trades failed breakdowns by hand knows the setup's character and what a bad week looks like, which is a far lower-uncertainty proposition than delegating to logic they have never seen fire. Contract coverage is the constraint: ES and MES only.

Suits

Discretionary ES and MES traders who recognise this pattern by eye and want it caught while they are not watching.

Limits

No Nasdaq, Dow or Russell coverage. A second product is needed to span the index complex.
