How I Make an Extra $1k-$5k a Month by Running Automated Trading Strategies

The greatest skill in trading is the ability to take trades & stay profitable even when you're not at the chart.

Around 5 years ago, I decided I didn't want to spend my valuable time staring at a chart... waiting for trades to show up.

I embarked on a journey of coding my existing trading strategies into algorithms.

And it really paid off :-)

Since then, I've used these algos to take trades 24/5 and built a 6-figure trading account in the process.

But it's not just about the money... I ended up gaining back a lot of time to do things I enjoyed.

I'm able to keep trading consistently no matter if I'm traveling around the world, relaxing at the beach, or flying small private planes across the country.

In March 2022, I decided I wanted to teach that skills to other traders so I launched Algo Nation to my first group of students

We've had & still get an extremely high demand...

Through this, I learned what it took to teach regular folks to become profitable trading algos.

I usually only take up a small group of students each time... giving them my entire algo strategies.

Then, we coach them until they're profitable before I open it up to new people.

Fast-forward to today, we've got 445 traders who've learned how to set up automated trading strategies that take less than 2hrs/wk. to manage.

And today, I'm ready to take on a group of committed traders...

This is a program to help serious Forex traders with a full-time job/business that don't have enough time for trading…

It’s also for those that can't get profitable trading on their own and want to automate the entire process.

More specifically, I’ll help you make an extra $1k-$5k a month by running automated trading strategies that once set up, can be managed in as little as 2hrs a week.

All this without doing a bunch of backtesting yourself, having to come up with your own rules, or following unreliable signals...

You’ll be responsible for managing these algos.

We will show you exactly how that works... so you can earn even when you're not at the charts!

The returns you make with these strategies will entirely depend on your account balance and risk tolerance.

But even someone extremely careful could get these strategies running and collect a decent profit every quarter.

Here’s what this can look like:

With a bit of practice, you can stop relying on your own analysis & discipline and get consistent results by running strategies you can trust will enter the right trades at the right time... 

At first, you’ll learn the strategy rules so you can build your confidence. Then you might run those automated trading strategies on demo or a small account and make small gains until you build a portfolio.

But once you’re able to see those small & consistent gains every month…

Things can scale up pretty fast.

Many of my students got great results once they set up the algos part of Algo Nation and started to automate their trading.

Such as Justin who shared his results after 2 months of using the algos with our recommended settings and continues to get results for over a year.

Or Hass, who quickly set up the two algo strategies after joining, and is now up 10.81% on his live account!

Or Stephane, who made 9.5% and 11.8% on his first 2 months of using Algo Nation's BBR strategy!

These are just a few of the people who became part of “Algo Nation”, able to produce a big change by making their trading automated and more consistent.

But while the money is great… it’s the FREEDOM to do whatever you want in the day that’s the real treasure.

Who This Program Is For?

So, I’m looking for a maximum of 20 determined Forex traders with a full-time job or business who don't have a ton of time for trading like Justin, Hass, and Stephane who want to make an extra $1k-$5k/mo by running automated trading strategies they set up in as little as 30-60 days.

What will we do together?

You’ll learn how to run and manage our new MT5 algo strategies. It's a skill that will save you time and many bad trades.

You’ll also discover how to transition from manual trading to an algo manager that can make good returns no matter how you feel or what you want to do that day.

Then, you’ll be guided through scaling up your automated trading business… and even using these algos we’ll provide you to pass prop firm challenges.

We've built on all the lessons we learned from the traders who joined in the initial launch of Algo Nation... so your experience in 2025 will be a lot better!

There’s nothing fancy about it, but…

In as little as 30-60 days... some of our students are able make an extra $1k, $3k or even $5k/mo too.

Even while they’re out on the beach or living their best life!

What You'll Get From Algo Nation

In short…

You’re gonna learn to run my automated trading strategies that can make an you $1k-$5k a month in as little as 30-60 days... and realistically scale up to a full-time trading career.

It works even if you don’t know how to code, have never traded profitably before, or aren’t a fan of technology..

I don’t know how often I’ll open spots to join the project…

Because I want to make sure people who get their hands on the algos will all get profitable with them. My team and I are coaching each student along the way. It won’t work if too many people are onboard.

So it would be great if you could join us.

And here's what happens if you get started today:

You’ll get immediate access to the automated trading strategies online, as well as the Slack community for support.

INCLUDING: a self-paced course that will guide you through implementing the strategies quickly so you can start seeing the results right away.

• You’ll save a lot of trial-and-error that I went through with algos.
• You won’t need to wait at the chart for your setup to show up.
• You'll have 2 solid trading strategies and won't need to search anymore.

Think about how that’s going to remove the frustration from trying strategies & techniques that don’t even work in the first place.

And you won’t feel drained from having to look at your trades in loss every day. If anything, I’m confident you’ll feel a lot more energized once you start seeing the momentum from the strategies in Algo Nation.

Here's a quick preview of what we'll cover in the course:

As part of this launch, we are introducing a new version of our algo strategies.

They are now built for MT5, bringing some new cool features to improve algo trading for traders at all levels.

Improvements in the MT5 version of our algos include:

New automated support and resistance tool: our support and resistance filter has been rebuilt from scratch. We now use a more reliable tool that detects zones and updates in real time.

More reliable and faster to backtest: MT5 makes it easier to backtest directly with your broker data. There's no need to download external data or waste time trying to find the instrument you want to test.

New advanced stop-loss methods: our Pivot High/Low and ATR-based stop losses will allow you to ride trends longer and exit automatically when the market isn't going your way.

New economic calendar filter: this will help you avoid trades during news events for better consistency and compliance with prop firms.

A wider selection of instruments to trade: you can trade Forex, indices, stocks, crypto, and futures (in some brokers).

Improved prop firm compatibility: you can now use the algos without a trade copier on any prop firm that supports MT5.

A new one-click portfolio backtest is coming in 2025: it will allow you to backtest an entire portfolio, including many instruments available on MT5, in a single click. You'll be able to see the historical performance of the strategies on a group of assets combined and make smarter decisions with your risk or filters.

Faster portfolio updates from Desire To Trade: with these improvements in the algos and platform used, we'll be able to update you much faster. Our recommended portfolio will also be much easier to test so you can expect more consistent results when you run these automated strategies.

Performance & Live Trading Of The Automated Strategies

Before I show you the stats of the strategies you’ll get in Algo Nation, there’s one thing I must point out.

You’ll be able to see what makes Algo Nation's strategies different from most algo programs out there.

Maybe you tried buying an algo in the past… only to have it lose money consistently after a few months.

So this leaves the question: “Why do so many algos fail?”

The answer is simple: Over-optimization & bad risk management

Most people who build algos do everything they can to make them seem flawless. They want this straight-no drawdown equity curve. That’s the reason why they blow up.

It’s not rocket-science but…

You can’t expect to be getting a consistent paycheck with an algo that’s built to look good.

It might work for 1-2 months… but eventually it will just start losing consistently.

The way I built algos in Algo Nation is different… because the rules of each strategy is based on my manual trading.

We didn’t optimize it at all. We simply designed it in way that can be adapted to the market condition at any given time.

All the settings we use are based on simple market logic.

So let’s get into the performance & live trading results of Algo Nation…

We have collected data on the strategies over a 2 year period.

Check out this summary of both automated strategies combined:

Algo Backtesting

Validation (out of sample)

Since both strategies complement each other, we’re able to keep the max. drawdown very low (between 11% and 12%). In 2024, my max drawdown was right in that sweet spot.

Trading manually, my regular drawdown was around 15%, which is way higher!

But what about on a monthly basis?

Having the strategies part of Algo Nation running at the same time means you’ll take both trend and reversal trades.

There are very few losing months, as you’ll see below, and on most months, the strategies made between 1.7-5% (given a low 1% risk per trade).

This is what a normal & healthy equity curve looks like in trading. Not like what you see on social media.

The reason it looks steep is we are compounding the returns. A non-compounded equity curve would be less steep.

Here’s some more proof straight from MyFxBook (non-compounded).

Secretariat (day trading strategy) on EUR/USD 15min:

Here’s some more proof straight from the portfolio.

Secretariat (trend trading strategy) on Nasdaq H1:

This strategy focuses on trading trends. It works well on several Forex pairs as well as Indexes and Stocks.

AUDJPY 1hr is one of my favorite pairs to run the Bollinger Bands Reversal strategy on:

If you invested $10,000 with the algo 2 years ago, you’d have $18,517.18 in your account today, given a risk of 1% per trade (compounded).

This translates to an average of 2.6% to 3%/mo.

Let's be clear: this is backtested data because we moved from MT4 to MT5 and rebuilt the algos from scratch. In the same two years, these strategies made 21% for the MT4 version.

Also, I do not guarantee any results. You'll receive the same tools and settings I use for my full-time trading, but it's your responsibility to use them as you wish.

In 2018-November 2024, our model algo portfolio returned 422.92%

This means your earlier $10,000 would have turned into $52,293.65

More than 2x the typical return of the S&P 500 (or any hedge fund).

Want to see what that could look like in real capital gains?

You can adjust the blue fields for any starting capital or risk per trade and see what the results look like for you.

I hope you can see from these trading performance stats that:

1. The strategies aren’t over-optimized and, therefore, likely to work long-term.
2. The algos work on many pairs & timeframes to your preference
3. You’re able to get a very good return in relation to the risk & drawdown

The 3rd point is especially important. These algo strategies could fairly easily get you funded by a prop firm if you set them up right!

P.S. I don’t want you to invest just because of the bonuses, but I do have some good ones.

What's The Guarantee?

There is an “action-based guarantee”.

I will work with you until you’ve made at LEAST your investment back no matter how long it takes AS LONG AS you are actually taking action on each step in the course and using the algos as we teach you.

In other words, you can’t not take any action and come back 1-2 years from now and ask me to work with you

But come in, do the work, engage on the Slack community, and if we don’t at least recoup your investment, I’m happy to help you dial in any areas. Whatever it takes to get you going.

Then, you'll have the SKILL and ABILITY to create trading income at will regardless of what the economy is doing or how motivated or busy you are, etc.

Fair?

I'm very confident Algo Nation will work for you if you do the work.

And whatever gets you stuck, you'll have a team around to help you.
