ECHO
The adaptive swing-target trading engine. ECHO reads the market through its swing structure — exiting where price is naturally likely to react rather than at a fixed distance from entry.
Built for NinjaTrader 8. Runs as an automated strategy inside your own NinjaTrader platform — you need NinjaTrader 8 and a market data feed.
What it is
A fully automated strategy that targets swing structure
Most automated strategies exit at a fixed distance from entry. ECHO detects significant market swings and uses them as dynamic exit targets, so the strategy adapts to the structure actually present in the market rather than a number chosen in advance.
Every trade is evaluated through several layers of confirmation — market structure, trend filters, momentum analysis and volatility conditions — which is what separates it from a straightforward breakout system.
The approach
Rules, not blind automation
ECHO's behaviour comes from a defined ruleset. You can see what it is designed to look for, how it decides to be in a trade rather than out of one, and how it manages a position from entry to close — and you configure the settings that shape all of that. Nothing adapts in a way you cannot observe.
That is also why the testing methodology matters: the rules are tested on traditional candlestick charts, with fixed stops and targets, so the historical result reflects something reproducible.
Who it may be for
ECHO tends to suit traders who…
Characteristics only. Nothing here is a prediction about how any account will perform.
Key features
What is actually in it
Intelligent swing targeting
Detects significant market swings and uses them as dynamic exit targets rather than static profit levels.
Adaptive market-structure logic
Multiple layers of confirmation — structure, trend, momentum and volatility — before a trade is taken.
Advanced trend filtering
Moving averages, ADX trend strength, momentum analysis, RSI filtering, stochastic direction and optional higher-timeframe confirmation.
Fully automated swing management
Monitors structure after entry and manages exits without you identifying targets by hand.
Professional-level customisation
Trading windows, range parameters, entry filters, long and short permissions, position sizing, risk limits, swing-target behaviour and daily risk controls.
Continuous improvements included
Ongoing optimisations and enhancements are part of the subscription, at no extra cost.
Risk and trade management
Seven ways to define your stop
Risk management is built into the strategy rather than bolted on. Choose the stop methodology that matches your plan, and set the limits that stop a bad day becoming a worse one.
- Standard-deviation stops
- Percentage-based risk
- Fixed tick offsets
- Break-even automation
- Time-based exits
- Maximum daily wins and losses
- Session profit and loss controls
Your trade. Your choice.
Automated doesn’t mean locked in.
Run the strategy automatically or use it manually. When a trade is live, you can still exercise your own discretion — tighten a stop, adjust or extend a target, take the trade off, or hold it longer.
The system gives you the rules. You decide how much control you want to use.

Hypothetical / simulated performanceIndependent simulated replay estimate. Not a NinjaTrader-certified backtest and not live trading. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. These results come from a simulated replay of the strategy on historical market data. They are not results of live trading and do not include slippage. Simulated results are prepared with the benefit of hindsight and cannot account for the impact of real market conditions or the financial risk of actual trading. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Past performance, simulated or actual, does not guarantee future results.

Questions
Before you decide
What do I need to run it?
NinjaTrader 8 and a market data feed. If you do not have them yet, we will point you at what you need before you buy, not after.
Do you offer a trial?
No, and there is an explanation on the FAQ page rather than a vague answer here. The short version: a few days of live market conditions tells you very little about a rule-based system, and it is not a fair test in either direction.
Can I run it on a prop-firm account?
ECHO can be configured to match a trading plan, including position sizing, daily limits and session controls. Whether any specific firm permits automation is a question for that firm.
What happens straight after I subscribe?
Everything you need is waiting in the Member Hub — the setup guide, the strategy file and the official template. Most people work through it themselves. Your included 60-minute setup and review session is there to check the result and answer whatever came up.
