Thirty minutes to set up. Then it runs on a clock.

Everything a licence holder does, in order. It is the same checklist we use on our own accounts.

What you need

Three things

TradingView

Essential plan or above, for webhook alerts. Access is granted to your username.

CrossTrade

Turns TradingView alerts into orders. About $49 a month.

A Tradovate account

Most prop firms, or Tradovate live. Your account, your rules, your money.

Setup

Six steps

Get access

Send your TradingView username. Within 24 hours the three scripts appear under Indicators → Invite-only scripts.

Three charts

MNQ on 1-minute regular hours, MGC on 1-minute extended hours, 6J on 5-minute extended hours. The session setting matters.

Inputs

Leave every input at the defaults we trade. The only one you change is contracts per signal. Start at one.

CrossTrade

Link your prop or broker account in CrossTrade. Your secret key and webhook stay private to you.

One alert per chart

Point each strategy alert at your CrossTrade webhook. Check the symbol, interval and session before saving.

First week

Run one contract. After three clean days (fills within two ticks, stop resting, flat on time) size up to your plan.

Kill rules

When to pause. When to stop.

Rules decided in advance, per contract, applied to our own accounts first.

Trigger	Rule	Action
Execution	Fills average more than 2 ticks off over 5 trades, or any missed order	Pause: delete the alerts, find the cause
TB41 · MNQ	Last 50 trades below −$450	Stop the bot
TB34 · Gold	Last 50 trades below −$660	Stop the bot
TB48 · Yen	Last 20 trades below $0	Stop the bot
Manual	Never touch a bot position by hand	Flatten in the platform and log it

FAQ

Questions we get

Do I get the code?

No. You get invite-only access to the compiled scripts on your own TradingView account. The source stays with us.

Is this a signal service?

No. It is software you run yourself. We do not send trades, we do not know your positions and we never touch your account.

Which prop firms work?

Any Tradovate-based account that allows automation, including Lucid and Topstep. Check your firm's rules before you start.

What do I need besides the licence?

TradingView Essential or above for webhooks, and CrossTrade (about $49 a month).

What if a bot stops working?

The kill rules above tell you when to pause and when to stop. We follow the same rules on our own accounts and publish when we do.

Can I cancel?

Yes, monthly. Access ends when billing stops.

Clockwork Futures

Flat by close. Three automated futures strategies, run on our own prop accounts, published trade by trade.

Licence

Founding 10 waitlist Kill rules FAQ

Clockwork Futures sells a monthly software licence for impersonal trading tools delivered as invite-only TradingView scripts. It is not investment advice, not a managed account and not a signal service. You place every order through your own accounts and remain responsible for your broker's and prop firm's rules. Futures trading involves substantial risk and can lose more than the licence fee. Backtested results are hypothetical, were produced with the benefit of hindsight and do not represent actual trading; past results, backtested or live, do not predict future results. Available to residents of Canada and the United States at launch.
