FAQ.

You shouldn’t. Not yet.

Start on the free tier. Signals arrive on a 15-minute delay. Log them. Compare them to your broker’s bars. Run that for 30 days before changing anything you do today.

The published track record is a walk-forward back-test through the date shown on /track-record, labeled hypothetical because it is. Live numbers from a real account ship in v1.1 and will be presented separately, with their own audit methodology note. We don’t conflate the two.

We don’t screenshot winners. We don’t post “closed +$X today” reels. The methodology is documented in full at /how-it-works and the assumptions behind every back-tested figure are documented adjacent to the figure.

Evaluate us on 90 days of receipts and methodology, not a landing page.

The bot hits a hard daily loss cap at -$500 per contract and flattens immediately. No averaging down. No “wait for the bounce.”

If the tape goes no-bid, market orders become stop-market at the first resting liquidity. You may slip. On MNQ, expect 2-8 ticks of adverse fill in fast markets. We don’t pretend this isn’t real.

The kill switch is wired to three triggers: daily loss cap, VIX spike above 40, and broker heartbeat loss. Any one of them flattens you and locks out new entries until you manually re-arm.

You will still lose money in a flash crash. You will lose less than holding.

No. Evolutionary Trading Algo is software that executes a rules-based strategy on a brokerage account you connect and control. We don’t know your financial situation, goals, or risk tolerance, and we don’t customize anything to them. That keeps us clearly on the publisher side of the line — not the registered-advisor side.

The bot places orders through your broker’s API using credentials you own. You can pause, override, or disconnect from your broker app at any time.

Futures carry substantial risk even with hard caps in place — exchange-level events like gaps and limit moves happen regardless of any software. Read the full regulatory disclosures before funding an account. If you need personalized advice, hire a licensed advisor.

The published methodology and back-tests assume access to a U.S.-regulated retail futures broker with API connectivity and a standard MNQ commission and slippage structure. Most of the well-known retail futures brokers fit that profile; pick one based on your own evaluation of commissions, platform reliability, and regulatory standing.

We do not receive compensation from any broker. No affiliate links, no referral fees, no in-kind credits, no marketing arrangements. We don’t list specific brokers here because we don’t want a casual reader to read a name on this page as a recommendation — it isn’t one.

If you want a starting point for vetting any broker, the NFA’s BASIC database (nfa.futures.org/basicnet) lists every registered FCM and IB and their disciplinary history. Use that, not us, to evaluate a broker.

We don’t recommend specific account sizes — that’s a question for your own circumstances and the broker you choose, not for us. Margin requirements for futures vary by broker, contract, and time of day; check your broker’s documentation for the current intraday and overnight requirements on whatever instrument you trade.

Zero capital is fine to start. The free tier publishes signals on a 15-minute delay and the full back-tested record. That’s enough to evaluate the methodology against your own broker’s bars before you fund any account.

If you do fund an account, only use money you can afford to lose entirely. Never trade with rent money, borrowed money, or money earmarked for anything else. Futures carry a substantial risk of loss, including the possibility of losing more than the initial deposit; see the full risk disclosures before trading.

Nothing on this page is suitability advice. If you need help deciding whether trading is appropriate for your situation, talk to a licensed financial advisor.

Because we want users who can evaluate the methodology fairly before they change anything they do today.

The free tier publishes every signal to your dashboard 15 minutes after the system generates it. That delay is structural — it puts subscribers behind anyone running the methodology live, so the published feed can never be confused with real-time recommendations. It’s also short enough that methodology drift is visible the same day. If a back-tested edge fails to reproduce going forward, the lag between the system and the free feed surfaces the failure quickly.

A 15-minute delay on a 5-minute MNQ bar means subscribers miss specific entries. It doesn’t hide the structure of the back-test — entries, exits, and the rule-based reasons for each are documented. Compare that documentation against your own bars over 90 days.

We’d rather lose a user to their own diligence than to a refund request. Past performance — including the back-tested figures published here, which are hypothetical — does not guarantee future results. See the full disclosures.

One click in /account, once v1.1 ships. Until then, email cancel@evolutionarytradingalgo.live and you’ll be off within one business day, prorated.

No retention modal. No “are you sure?” three times. No “please tell us why you’re leaving” survey gating the button. No exit offer at 50% off for three months. No chat widget firing at the cancel page.

Your access ends at the current billing period. Your logged signal history stays readable on the free tier. You can come back any time at the same price you left at, assuming the tier still exists.

If canceling is harder than that, screenshot it and send it to support. We’ll fix the flow.

Losing trades are a feature of any honest system — ours prints them openly on the track record. What matters is the shape of the losses, not avoiding them.

The bot enforces three hard floors before any trade fires:

• Per-trade stop — sized so a single adverse move can’t blow the day.
• Daily loss cap — when hit, the bot flattens and locks out new entries until you manually re-arm.
• Kill switch — triggered on VIX spikes, broker heartbeat loss, or anomalous fill patterns. Flatten first, ask questions after.

You hold the brokerage credentials. You can pause, flatten, or disconnect from your broker app in under 10 seconds, any time. The bot never holds your money and never locks you out of your own account.
