The Story

Hi, I'm Crystal — the trader behind TurnKey Futures Strategies.

I got into futures trading the same way I get into most things — I bet I could learn it, and dove in. I was looking for a way to expand my income sources, and futures gave me something I could actually study, automate, and scale on my own terms.

I wanted something different. A lot of automated strategies fire on whatever logic the developer baked in and that's it — you can't touch them, can't override, can't manually adjust the stop or target mid-trade. Set-it-and-forget-it isn't how I trade, and it's not how I want to sell strategies.

So I built strategies that take the emotion out of the equation by firing automatically on real data, but leave room for intuition when you need it. Drag the stop, drag the target, change your mind on position size mid-trade — the strategies play nicely with manual adjustments while a trade is open. You get the discipline of automation and the flexibility of manual trading at the same time. The data fires the entry; you keep the steering wheel.

I'm not a set-it-and-forget-it person on the maintenance side either. I monitor every strategy's performance, post in Discord when something looks off, and re-tune the parameters every 3–4 months. Those tuned templates get published to anyone who owns the code. If you want to adjust the params yourself, the strategies are yours and you can. If you'd rather I do it, the templates are there.

If a strategy stops working, I'll be the first to flag it. I've never been afraid to say "turn this one off for now" when a regime shifts. That's the difference between selling code and standing behind it.

My tuning always targets prop firm rules. To me that's the easiest path for new traders — you're not risking your own capital, the rules are well-defined, and an eval is cheaper than funding a real account. Subscribe to a strategy, buy an eval, and you've got a low-risk way to actually see whether the system fits your style.

I run these strategies across six micro futures contracts — MES, MGC, MCL, M2K, MNQ, SIL. The data in the analyzer is from my current active configurations. The Discord is where I'm at if you've got questions.

FAQ

What does "1 strategy" mean?

A strategy purchase is the NinjaTrader 8 .cs file. You can run that strategy on any of the six instruments (MES, MGC, MCL, M2K, MNQ, SIL) on any timeframe. One license covers unlimited markets.

How do quarterly templates work?

Every 3 to 4 months I re-run optimization sweeps on every strategy across all 6 instruments and both 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes. The new tuned parameter sets ("templates") ship with a 3-month backtest summary showing what changed.

Subscribers (Starter, Pro, Elite) get templates auto-delivered as part of their plan. Lifetime owners can add the Templates Pass ($39/mo or $299/yr) for ongoing access, or buy a Single Template Pack ($99) when they want one specific drop.

What's the difference between a Subscription and Lifetime?

Subscription: Pay monthly or yearly. You get the code, Discord, alerts, and quarterly templates auto-delivered. Cancel anytime.

Lifetime: Pay once, own the code forever. Templates not included — add the Templates Pass if you want ongoing tuning, or skip it and tune your own params.

Can I install on multiple computers?

Yes. Your license covers your personal use across multiple machines. Sharing the code with other traders is not permitted.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. The .cs files compile in NinjaTrader's NinjaScript Editor with a single keypress. I provide install instructions and the Discord community is there if you get stuck. The Trader Course ($299) walks through everything from install to live deployment.

What if a strategy stops performing?

I monitor every strategy's behavior and post in Discord when one looks like it's slumping or the regime has shifted. You'll get a heads-up so you can disable it and watch from the sidelines. The next quarterly template release will include a re-tuned version if the slump was driven by parameter drift.

What's your refund policy?

Strategies (Subscription & Lifetime): 14-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied, contact me within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. Strategy licenses are deactivated upon refund.

Templates Pass, Single Template Packs, Trader Course, and Prop Firm Analyzer: All sales final. These are digital downloads — once delivered, they cannot be returned.

Subscription cancellations: Cancel anytime. No partial refund on time already used; access continues through your current billing period.

Do you offer 1-on-1 consultations?

No. The Trader Course covers everything I'd cover in a 1-on-1, and it's a one-time $299 instead of a per-session fee. Discord support is included with every purchase.
