A research database of active trading algorithms to build our model portfolios.

An algorithmic trading system is a fully rule-based set of instructions for entering and exiting trades. Capstone systems specify markets, timeframes, entries, exits, and position sizing so execution can be automated in TradeStation, NinjaTrader, or MultiCharts.

The database includes systems for stock index futures (E-mini Nasdaq, E-mini S&P, and micro contracts), metals (Gold and Silver), energy (Crude Oil and Natural Gas), and Micro Bitcoin futures. Systems are grouped by market in the full strategy database above.

A license includes platform-ready implementation code for your chosen platform, backtested performance research, equity curve and drawdown reporting, trade-level analytics, and setup documentation. Capstone provides software and research — not trade execution or account management.

No. Systems are licensed as platform-ready code for TradeStation, NinjaTrader, or MultiCharts. You control capital allocation, risk settings, broker selection, and which systems or model portfolios you run.

Yes. Performance statistics and trade history shown on strategy and portfolio pages are hypothetical or simulated results based on historical data. They have limitations, do not represent actual trading, and are not a guarantee of future performance. See the CFTC Rule 4.41 disclaimer in the site footer.

Capstone systems are available for TradeStation, NinjaTrader 8, and MultiCharts. When you license a system, you select the platform variant that matches your execution environment.

A trading system is a single rules-based strategy licensed on its own. A model portfolio is a pre-combined license of multiple systems engineered for diversification, overlap control, and portfolio-level risk. Model portfolios are listed on the Market Portfolios page.

Many active traders start with a small model portfolio rather than a single system because diversification can smooth equity paths and reduce dependence on one market regime. Use the Portfolio Metrics Lab or Portfolio Calculator to compare combinations before you license.

Yes, subject to your broker, platform, and risk limits. Traders often run several licensed systems together or license a model portfolio that already combines complementary strategies. Review correlation, margin, and drawdown overlap before adding systems to the same account.

Many systems are used on proprietary trading firm accounts, but rules vary by firm. You are responsible for confirming that a system's behavior, holding period, and risk profile comply with your firm's program. Several NQ systems are commonly referenced for prop-firm-style day trading.

No. Capstone Trading Systems licenses software, research, and model portfolio programs for self-directed traders. We do not manage customer accounts, execute trades for customers, or provide individualized investment advice.

Trading systems and model portfolios are licensed on a subscription basis (typically quarterly or annual). After subscribing, you receive access instructions, platform-specific setup guidance, and support details for the licensed term. Subscriptions renew based on the billing interval you select and can be managed before the next renewal. Contact us with questions before subscribing.
