Because most algo backtests are wrong, and we'd rather show you boring numbers that come true than sexy numbers that don't. TradingView's bar magnifier can inflate simulated results by up to 5× — fills that look perfect inside the simulator get eaten by tick noise in real trading. So we tuned around what actually survives a real broker. Our TITAN · PRIME config backtests at PF 2.67 in TradingView's Strategy Tester; our live-validated RAPTOR · GOLDEN tier hit PF 3.13 / 88.7% WR in its best week (May 11–15) in our personal NinjaTrader account — that's 62 verified trades in the 10am–1pm window. Our live results beat our backtest. Nobody else in this space can say that. Read the full methodology →

Yes — and this is what makes Falcon AI different from a typical signal service. There are two ways to run it fully hands-free. 1) Webhook path (any plan): Falcon AI fires TradingView alerts containing the full trade plan (entry, stop, target). Connect those alerts to a preferred webhook provider and the trades execute automatically on your broker (NinjaTrader, TopstepX, Tradovate, TradeDay, others). The full chain runs in the cloud: your computer doesn't need to be on, you don't need TradingView open. 2) Native NinjaTrader path (Elite-exclusive): Elite members get a native NinjaTrader add-on that runs the Falcon AI engine directly inside NinjaTrader — no webhook, no broker relay, no third-party tools. Drop it on a chart, enter your Elite email, and it places and manages every trade itself: entries, stops, targets, end-of-day flat. Prop firm note: Topstep, MyFundedFutures, TradeDay, The Funded Trader, and Apex Trader Funding all support automated trading; Take Profit Trader supports automation only via the native NinjaTrader path (Falcon's Elite add-on runs as a local NinjaScript strategy on your own chart, which TPT permits — not the third-party copy-trading it bans), never via webhook/relay — we passed an Apex 25K evaluation running Falcon AI (proof above). Apex's automation rules are stricter and change more often than most firms', so always verify your firm's current Terms of Service before automating. Setup takes 20-30 minutes.

Falcon AI is primarily optimized for MNQ (Micro E-mini Nasdaq). It also works effectively on MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500), YM, and Gold (MGC) futures.

Yes — TradingView Essential ($14.95/mo) or higher is required for real-time data. The free TradingView plan delays prices by ~15 minutes, which will give you stale signals and missed entries. Essential unlocks real-time futures data + multiple indicators per chart. Pro tier or higher works too. (This is a TradingView cost, not a Falcon AI cost.) Elite NinjaTrader exception: if you run the Elite-exclusive native NinjaTrader add-on, the engine runs directly inside NinjaTrader on your broker's data feed — no TradingView subscription is required for that path.

Access continues through the end of your current billing period — no proration, no partial refunds for unused days, your next month simply isn't charged. Within 24 hours of your period ending, we manually remove your TradingView access. (TradingView's invite-only indicators don't expose an auto-revoke API, so this is a real human step on our side rather than an instant cutoff — the upside is if you change your mind, you have a small window to come back.) Elite NinjaTrader add-on: its license deactivates automatically when your subscription lapses, so it simply stops trading — nothing to uninstall on our end. You can cancel anytime in the Stripe billing portal (linked in our footer) — no questions, no retention call.

Access is typically granted within a few hours of payment confirmation, and always within 24 hours. You'll receive an email once your TradingView username has been invited. Elite members also receive the native NinjaTrader add-on (download + license activation) in the same welcome email. If you haven't heard back after 24 hours, email us at support@thefalconai.com.

No — access is tied to a single TradingView username and is non-transferable. The Elite NinjaTrader add-on is the same: it's license-bound to one user (machine-locked) and won't run for anyone else. Each subscriber needs their own plan. Sharing credentials or the add-on violates our terms and will result in access being revoked without a refund.

Yes. Falcon AI is designed for both beginners and experienced traders. Signals are clear and actionable, and built-in risk levels remove the guesswork. We recommend all traders practice sound risk management regardless of experience level.
