NQ Futures · NinjaTrader 8 · Fully Automated

Trade the NQ open without touching a chart.

Storm is Freedom Algos' fully rules-based NQ futures algorithm for NinjaTrader 8. It enters where most traders tap out, closes flat before the bell, and never holds risk overnight, so the edge keeps working while you don't have to.

How Storm works

Three phases. One disciplined day.

Every session, Storm runs the same rules you would run with perfect patience and zero emotion. It watches, it waits for alignment, and it walks away flat. You do not manage it. You let it work.

01 · 09:30 ET

Maps the open

Builds the day's structural reference zones from live intraday structure. No trades yet, just reading the tape.

02 · Session

Waits for alignment

Convergence-based entries run continuously. Every condition has to agree or the trade is rejected. Selectivity is the edge.

03 · 16:00 ET

Shuts the book

Hard session close flattens everything. No overnight exposure, no gap risk. Tomorrow opens on a clean slate.

What you need

Three things to get Storm running.

No guesswork on setup. Here is everything it takes to go live, and we walk you through all of it on your onboarding call.

01 · Platform

A NinjaTrader brokerage account

Storm runs on NinjaTrader 8, so you will need a NinjaTrader-compatible brokerage account. We point you to the right setup for your goals.

02 · Always-on

A VPS to run it 24/5

So Storm trades every session without your computer on, it runs on a low-cost VPS, a virtual server that stays online. We help you get it configured.

03 · Onboarding

A 1-on-1 setup call

A personal call to install, configure, and size Storm to your account, so you go live dialed in and confident, not guessing on your own.

Straight answers

The questions every serious trader asks.

Do I have to watch it all day?

No, that is the point. Storm is fully automated on NinjaTrader 8. It enters, manages, and closes the session on its own rules. You set it up once and get your screen time back.

Does it hold trades overnight?

Never. Storm flattens everything at a hard session close, so there is no overnight exposure and no gap risk against you.

Are these results live or backtested?

Both. The numbers shown come from NinjaTrader 8 backtesting at a 1 NQ baseline, with the raw exports above, and Storm is also traded live. Recent performance shown is not indicative of future results.

Is this financial advice or a fund?

No. Freedom Algos is a software company, not a fund, broker, or investment advisor. We provide the algorithm and the setup; you trade your own account and keep full control.

What account size do I need?

Storm scales to the account in front of it, so the same setup runs whether your balance is smaller or larger. We size it with you on the call.

Your next trade could be Storm's first.
