1P Algorithms
Stop arranging your day around the open. Your algos trade it for you.
Get funded and paid on autopilot, inside accounts in your name.

- Five quick questions
- Not a fit? We'll tell you
“From 9:00 to 11:00 in the morning, I would be stuck in my computer super stressed out trading and losing. And now, I just have more free time.”
- Runs on a server while you work, so closing your laptop is not a trading decision
- Your capital never leaves an account in your name. We cannot withdraw
- Live, third-party tracked results for every strategy
- 90-day Service Warranty: it runs as intended or we fix it
The firm is not betting against your strategy. It is betting on your Tuesday.
Prop firms do not make money when you lose a trade. They make money when you lose an account. And accounts are almost never lost by a bad system. They are lost by a person having a bad afternoon.
You know the afternoon. The position moves against you at 2pm, taking the loss feels worse than waiting, so the stop gets widened. Or you reach eighty percent of the profit target, the funded account feels close enough to touch, you size up to finish it, and one oversized trade breaches the daily limit in a single session.
The strategy was fine both times. You were the variable.
That is not a character flaw. Every trader has done it, including the ones who now run twenty-five accounts and tell you they never do. The difference is that they stopped relying on being calm at the exact moment calm is hardest to reach.
So here is what you are actually buying: not a smarter opinion about the market. A structure that removes you from the decision at the only moment your presence has ever cost you money.
Your best day is the one that kills the account
At most prop firms your maximum loss line trails your balance up as you profit, and never comes back down.
Give back part of a good day and the account closes, even though you are still ahead of where you started. The rules punish big days and pay for consistency.
So small, consistent targets are not the cautious option. They are the only option that gets paid. A person cannot be consistent for ninety days while holding a job. Software has no other setting.
Why a small evaluation fee changes the whole equation
The evaluation fee
The most you can lose on an attempt. A small fraction of the account it unlocks.
The funded account
Pass, and you trade the firm's capital, not your own savings.
The payout
Each payout funds the next evaluation. That is the loop that compounds.
Not every evaluation passes, ours included. So the plan is a portfolio: at least ten evaluations over time, started on different days and spread across firms, so one bad week or one rule change cannot take everything.
We learned this the hard way: one firm changed its automation rules after we’d funded, and closed an account that was in profit. It’s why we spread accounts across firms.
You have probably already paid for one of these
Almost nobody arrives here fresh. You are not comparing us to doing nothing. You are comparing us to the last thing that took your money and did not work.
The win rate that hid the drawdown
You were sold on a screenshot of winners. Nobody showed you the drawdown, so you found out what the losing stretch looked like with your own account. Our record puts drawdown and average loss next to every win rate, including on our own high-win-rate strategy.
The algo that changed faster than you could set it up
Breaking updates every other week, a new settings file each time, and trading days lost waiting for a support reply. We set it up with you on a shared screen, on a pre-configured cloud desktop, with 24/5 priority support.
The course that was really a sales pitch
An entry-priced class that turned into a pitch for a five-figure program. Here the price, the warranty terms and the live record are all on the table in one call, with one recommendation.
Everything set up. Nothing to configure.
What you get, and what stays yours.
Your account, your name, your login
- We connect to the US-regulated brokerage or prop firm account you already have
- No fund transfer at any point. Nothing moves to us
- We have no custody and no withdrawal permission, by design
It runs when you are not there
- On a server, so closing the lid is not a trading decision
- Roughly $30 the first month, about $60 after, paid to the host and not to us
- One click stops everything mid-trade, without asking anyone
The size is set before you can argue with it
- Position size derived from the loss limit, not the profit target
- A hard daily stop enforced in software, with no override available to you
- Contract size adjustable down to the micro, one tenth per tick
From your first call to your first payout
Most people selling this will not put a date on it. Here is ours, taken from what has actually happened with more than 200 clients.
-
Day 1
Setup call
We install and configure everything with you on a shared screen: the cloud desktop, the algos, the risk manager and your prop firm accounts. You leave with it running.
-
Week 1
Live on your evaluations
Your strategies are trading your evaluation accounts, matched to each firm's rules. Your job from here is to leave the settings alone.
-
Weeks 4–6
Typical first payout window
Based on 200+ clients. Some are faster, some slower, depending on your firm's rules, how many accounts you run and whether you change the settings.
Typical timeline, not a guarantee. Some evaluations require a minimum number of trading days before you can pass, and payouts are made by independent prop firms under their own terms.
We publish our losing stretches. Most sellers only show you the wins.
Read the drawdown column before the returns. Returns tell you what the good stretch looked like. Drawdown tells you what the bad stretch felt like, and whether you would still have been in the seat at the bottom of it. It costs us sales. It is also the only reason to believe anything else on this page.
Every row is third-party tracked and links to that strategy’s live account dashboard, so you can check the full trade history yourself without talking to us.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. The figures above come from specific accounts over the periods stated. They are not a guarantee, projection or promise of future performance, and they are not typical or average client results. Your results will differ with account size, contract size, prop firm rules, commissions, slippage, start date and whether you change the settings. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss, and you can lose some or all of your capital.
How to judge any algo's numbers, including ours
What does it risk to make what? A win rate alone is close to meaningless. A system can win 88 percent of the time and lose money if the other 12 percent lose big enough. Both halves belong in the same sentence.
What is the maximum drawdown? The largest peak-to-trough loss on record. Yours has to be smaller than your account or you get closed out before the good part arrives.
How many trades is that based on? Thirty tells you nothing. Several hundred starts to mean something. The same applies to pass rates, which is why a pass count without an attempt count is a percentage with the denominator hidden.
Backtested or live, and did they tell you before you asked? Live results are always weaker because of slippage, commissions and fills. Every strategy above is live-traded.
If any of it fails your standard, say which part on the call and we will either explain it or concede it.
No form, no email address, no call required.

Why we only onboard a few clients at a time
Every client gets a setup call, a personal game plan session and a quarterly 1-on-1 with a Customer Success Manager. That only works if we keep the numbers small, so we take on a limited number of new clients at a time and we do not work with everyone. If the call shows you are not a fit, we will tell you. If onboarding is full, we will tell you that too.
Calls are limited because onboarding is. Pick a time and answer five quick fields.
Why some clients get paid and some do not
Every cause of failure we see is on the operator's side, and all of it is knowable before you buy. That is why the call starts with whether you fit.
It will not work for you if you:
- Want a guaranteed return, or to turn a small amount into a large amount quickly
- Start with one or two accounts. Not every evaluation passes, so too few means the numbers never get a chance to work
- Change the settings. Tightening a stop to feel safer is the most common way clients lose while the unchanged settings win
- Size up after a good week. The trailing drawdown is waiting for exactly that
- Go back to trading manually after a loss
- Quit inside a red month. A losing month inside a good year is the worst possible sample to judge on
The clients who get paid:
- Can fund at least ten evaluations over time
- Match the strategy to the phase: faster to pass where the firm allows it, conservative once funded
- Start accounts on different days, so one bad stretch cannot hit them all at once
- Pause the system while a withdrawal request is processing
- Put payouts back into more accounts instead of spending the first one
- Stay in the mentoring group and use their 1-on-1s
What you walk away with, whether you buy or not
Forty-five minutes, in this order, so there is nothing to find out later.
- 0–3How the call runs, and that if it is not a fit they will say so and end it early rather than spend your afternoon.
- 3–15What you are running now, which firm, what you have already tried and what went wrong with it. Genuinely diagnostic. Half of what we recommend depends on your firm's rule set.
- 15–30Screen share of the live strategy sheet. Not a highlight reel. Drawdown first, win rates paired with their risk figures, and the sample sizes behind all of it.
- 30–45One recommendation, not a menu. The investment, the payment options, and the Service Warranty terms walked through rather than mentioned and skipped.
You leave knowing which of your firm's rules permit automation, which strategy matches them, and what it would cost. That is worth the 45 minutes whether or not you ever pay us. Nobody will pressure you and nobody will invent a deadline.
6am to 9pm your local time, seven days a week, because most of our clients have jobs.
90 days to make sure it works, and the honest version of what that means
Warranty claims to date: 0. No client has needed it yet. If you are the first, this is exactly what happens.
For 90 days, we warrant that the system executes trades exactly as its rules and settings specify: entries, exits, stops, position size and the daily loss cap. If it does not, tell us. We diagnose it and fix it at no cost. If we cannot get it working as intended within 10 business days, we refund what you paid us.
We install it with you on a shared screen, so a setup mistake is ours to fix, not a reason to turn you away. If a setting gets changed, we reset it to spec for free.
What it does not cover: trading losses, a failed evaluation, or anything on the prop firm's, broker's or hosting provider's side, including their fees and rule changes. None of those is the system malfunctioning.
What we will not do is guarantee a return or a pass. Nobody honest in this industry can, and the fact that the offer sitting next to yours does is information about that offer. What we guarantee is that the system does its job.

Straight answers
Do I need trading experience to benefit from 1P Algorithms?
What platforms do you support?
Can you guarantee I will pass an evaluation?
Do you trade my account for me?
What happens if a strategy stops working?
Can I try it before buying?
You will not out-discipline a rule that was written to beat you
The firms are not hoping you pick bad trades. They are hoping you have one ordinary bad afternoon in ninety days, because that is all it takes. The only durable answer is to not be in the room.
Before you book, add up what you have spent in the last twelve months on evaluations, resets, courses and tools that did not work. That number is what doing it yourself costs. Bring it to the call.
