Tired of blowing evals?

I was unprofitable for over a year trading by hand. I switched to AI with zero experience and got my first payout within 2 months. Now I teach you the exact process, step by step.

My AI file. Yours on day 1.

Plug it in and your AI turns into an indicator-building, trading machine. Everything I learned from 12 to 15 hour days, packed into one file, so you skip months of trial and error.

Zach, the guy from the videos. I trade NQ with bots I built with AI.

Sound familiar?

Trading by hand wears you down.

Tired of letting your emotions trade for you?

Tired of being an unprofitable trader?

Tired of staring at the chart all day so you don't miss the move?

Tired of guessing which pattern works in a market this crazy?

AI trading is for you.

Before
You take a trade and it runs straight to your stop. Next day, you do it again. I was unprofitable for over a year trading by hand.
The switch
Then I switched to AI. I had zero experience using AI and no one to teach me. I couldn't find anyone online teaching this.
2 months later
I got my first payout within 2 months anyway. Proof's below.
Since then
I've spent 6 months building strategies this way and backtested over 70,000 combinations on more than 5 years of NQ and ES data.

I started with nothing you don't have. Now I'm one of the first people giving out the AI trading secret. You can trade with AI exactly the way I do.

AI takes the guesswork out.

No emotionsNo hesitationNo human error

It takes only the exact setups you tell it to take, and every one comes with a win/loss record you tested on real market data.

You describe your setup in plain English and AI builds it into an indicator, grading every signal you engineered. I'll teach you the exact process, step by step. I'll fast-track you to success. Every mistake I made, I'll show you exactly how to avoid it, so you start with the best possible odds.

With me as your mentor and my AI file plugged in, I can have your AI placing trades on day 1.

You don't have to spend countless hours and months like I did. I wish I'd had something like this when I started. That's exactly why I'm handing you the Forge.

Watch it forge

One prompt in. A working indicator out.

You don't write code. You describe the trade you already look for, and AI builds it to the same standard every time, using the build system I made for it. I've already made the mistakes so you don't have to: indicators that graded themselves on the entry candle, setups with great win rates that still lost money, one set of settings forced onto every timeframe. Every fix is built in. That's why going with me is your fastest route to having AI place your first trade for you.

My build system

Set it up once. AI follows it on every build.

One setup step and every indicator comes out built to my standard: the settings, the grading, the honest scoring and the bot hookup. You never explain it again. How it works is the first thing you get when you join.

Proof I actually use AI

I don't just talk about AI. I live in it.

This is my real AI dashboard: 98,272 messages and 31.4 billion tokens across 70 active days. That's about 1,404 messages a day, and roughly 255,462 times the length of The Hobbit.

Build your own bot app

I hand you the prompt. AI builds your trading bot app.

This is the moment it clicks. I give you the exact prompt, you paste it in, and AI builds you a custom trading bot app like mine, right on your own computer. No coding. No developers. Your app, running your setups, on your rules.

It takes the trade for you.

The second your setup prints, your app places the order, stop and target included. No hesitating, no clicking, no missed entries.

Every account on one screen.

Balances, today's P&L, wins and losses for every account, updating live while you watch.

Guards built in.

Daily loss limits and drawdown guards that stop trading the moment you hit your limit. Your rules, enforced every single time.

It pings your phone.

Every entry, exit and win hits your phone the second it happens, wherever you are.

Your results calendar.

Every day's P&L and win/loss record in one calendar, so you always know exactly where you stand.

You're in control.

Pause it, switch setups or change size in one click. It's your app. You call the shots.

Picture it: your setups, your accounts and your bot, all running from one app you built yourself.

Alpha Forge only

My backtesting app. Every combination, tested.

This is the engine behind my 70,000+ backtested combinations, and Alpha Forge members get to use it. Give it your setup and the ranges you want to try, and it grid-searches every combination of your settings across your own NQ and ES history, then ranks what actually held up. No more guessing which settings work. The numbers show you.

Grid search on autopilot.

Stops, targets, timeframes, filters. Every combination runs automatically while you do something else.

Built for years of real data.

Load your own NQ and ES history (from your trading platform or a low-cost data source, I show you how) and see how a setup did through every kind of market, not just last week.

Scored like real trades.

Graded candle by candle, stops and targets included, with no peeking at future candles. Real win/loss records, not fantasy numbers.

Honest results

Your W/L table might be lying. Here's how.

A W/L table can make a losing setup look like a winner. Ours is built to be right, even when right is ugly.

They grade trades on the entry candle.

That candle already knows where price went. Ours start grading on the next candle, so a signal can't score itself.

They score stop-and-target candles as wins.

When one candle tags your stop and your target, you can't know which hit first. Many panels, including the ones I used to build, call it a win. Ours call it a loss.

They sell you win rate.

A setup can win 70% and still lose money. We judge setups on profit factor, average R and net points after costs.

Built into every indicator you make

The Results Panel.

Every signal becomes its own trade with its own W or L, right on your chart. Nothing gets dropped, and nothing gets rounded up.

Grade stats. W, L and win % for A+ through D over the window you pick.
Setup history. The last 10 signals and how each one ended.
Details after costs. Profit factor, average R, net points and dollars.
Small sample flag. Under 30 trades, it tells you that you don't know yet.

Every grade keeps its own record, so you can see which setups carry the system. In this example, A+ leads the way. Under 30 trades the panel flags a small sample, so you know when the numbers start to mean something.

From idea to order

Your idea, wired all the way to the trade.

The indicator is half of it. The moment your setup prints, your bot takes the trade. No clicking, no hesitating, no missed entries. Exactly how it's wired is what you get when you join.

Results from simulated accounts and Results Panel backtests are hypothetical. These results are not typical and not a promise, most people who trade futures lose money, and past results don't predict future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.

Who's teaching

I build with AI every day.

I trade NQ futures with bots I built myself. I work the way you'll learn to. I describe a setup in plain English, AI builds it, and I test it hard before it ever trades.

I built a testing pipeline that pressure-tests every setup before it touches real money, and I'll show you the same process so you know exactly what a setup does before you trade it.

Questions

Before you join.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe the setup in plain English and AI writes the code. When your charting platform shows an error, you paste it back to the AI and it fixes it.

I've never traded. Is Forge Club for me?

Yes. Forge Club is for finding out if AI trading is for you. You don't need any coding or trading experience to start.

How much money do I need to start?

That's your call. Your costs are Forge Club and the tools below, and you decide what goes in your trading account.

Does it work on a Mac?

Yes. It works on both Mac and Windows.

What else do I need?

An AI subscription and a paid charting platform plan. For the bot, a Windows PC with a trading platform and market data. On a Mac you use a routing service instead, which is its own subscription. Your broker or prop firm may charge platform or market-data fees, and Alpha Forge adds a monthly cost for the execution setup. I walk you through every piece once you're in.

Do you give signals or trade calls?

No, never. You build your own indicators and decide what to trade. The Discord is for building, not for calling trades.

Can I cancel Forge Club?

Yes. Forge Club renews every month at $44 until you cancel. Cancel anytime from your Whop account and you won't be charged again.

Can I really place trades on day one?

Yes. You can start placing trades on day one.
