00 · You're not on your own

No experience needed. Every plan comes with a full course.

This list is not a test. The course shows you what each part is and how to set it up. It covers your broker account, the app, MetaTrader and how to choose your risk. Our support team can help if you get stuck.

This page is here so there are no surprises. You don't need anything set up before you join.

01 · Broker

An MT4 or MT5 account.

The app trades on your own broker account, through MetaTrader. You will need:

  • A broker with MT4 or MT5. Most big brokers have one. Demo and live accounts both work. TradeLocker is not supported.
  • Algo Trading turned on in MetaTrader, so the app can place trades.
  • Enough leverage. For Gems, 1:100 is the minimum and 1:500 or more is better. Leverage does not change your risk. It means less of your money is held up while trades are open.
  • Leverage and Stars. Your leverage affects how much risk makes sense for a Star. The course explains how to choose.
02 · Money to trade

How much you need depends on the system.

Star risk

Loading…

Why is there a minimum?

  • Trades have a smallest size. On a small account, some Star trades are too big, so they get skipped.
  • Gems need room for drops. Below $1,000 per 1×, a normal drop takes too much of the account.
  • Stars share one balance. Each Star's risk is a % of your account, so one account can run several Stars. The Star that needs the most sets the minimum. Gems need $1,000 per 1× for each Gem.

Good to know

These are minimums, not advice on what to use. The real number depends on your broker. Lower risk needs more money. Higher risk needs less, but losses get bigger too.

More money in the account usually means a smoother ride.

03 · Computer

Use a VPS, not your laptop.

The app must stay on to place trades. MetaTrader must stay open too. A VPS is a Windows computer in the cloud that never turns off.

Why not a home computer?

  • Markets are open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Laptops sleep, restart for updates and lose Wi-Fi. Each time, you miss trades.
  • Power cuts and internet outages can also leave trades open when they should have closed.
  • A VPS has a steady connection close to your broker.

If the app goes offline, we send you a Discord message or email.

04 · Software

What to install.

  • Windows 11 or Windows Server 2019 / 2022
  • MetaTrader 4 or 5, from your broker
  • The TTF Strategy Suite, after you sign up
  • A Discord account, to sign in and get alerts. It's free.

That's it. You don't need to code. The course walks you through each step.

05 · Be realistic

What this is, and what it isn't.

The app is software that places trades. We don't promise any returns. Please know:

  • Nothing is guaranteed. Past results, live or tested, do not promise future results.
  • Tests look better than real life. Real results are often worse than tests.
  • Stars lose often. Each Star loses more trades than it wins. It needs its wins to be bigger. Long losing streaks happen.
  • Gems can drop a lot. A big drop while trades are open is normal for Gems.
  • Systems can lose at the same time. Running more systems does not stop that.
  • Leave it alone. The hardest part is not stepping in during a losing run.
  • This is not financial advice. We never hold your money.
