Edge Runner Auto

Automated execution, institutional-grade risk

Edge Runner Auto pairs proprietary signal generation with the risk controls a serious automated book needs. Two entry modes — Normal Entry and Background Change — let you choose how aggressively the system engages, while dynamic position sizing adapts contract counts to your objectives rather than a fixed guess.

Exits managed as carefully as entries

Advanced exit management covers trailing stops, break-even logic, EdgeBand crossover exits, and time-based closures. Chart Trader buttons give you manual control at any moment — toggle the strategy, switch long/short mode, or close everything with one click.

Includes the EdgeRunner indicator

The full EdgeRunner visual suite ships with this strategy, so the chart shows you exactly what the automation is acting on. Nothing to buy twice.
