⚡ WHY OUR NUMBERS LOOK DIFFERENT
We don't sell backtests.
We sell what we trade.
Every algo seller leads with a million-dollar TradingView screenshot. We tested ours in real money and discovered TradingView's bar magnifier inflates tight-stop strategies by up to 5×. So we rebuilt around what survives a real broker — wider stops, cleaner sessions, fewer trades.

The result: settings that look modest on TradingView's backtester but consistently beat that backtest in live trading.

THE SIX ELITE CONFIGS

Six MNQ futures configs below — same core engine, same risk settings. The only differences are timeframe and session window. Pick by lifestyle, not by greed: more profit on EXT-PRIME15 doesn't mean more take-home in live trading. Elite members also get an Elite-exclusive 24/7 BTC CRYPTO config — see Section 5 for details.

⚠️
Counter-intuitive: more backtest net ≠ more take-home
The 15-min configs (PRIME15 / EXT-PRIME15) show the biggest backtest net, but they also fire the MOST trades and carry the HIGHEST drawdown — and every extra trade adds real commission and slippage that a backtest understates. Trading more isn't trading better. The 30-min configs win on the cleanest risk profile: highest PF, lowest DD, and the perfect 13-of-13 monthly record.
⚠️
Running more than one config? Read this first
You can run multiple configs at once — even on the same account — as long as they're the SAME timeframe. All the 30-min configs (PRIME30 / EXT-PRIME30 / GOLDEN30) fire the same signals in the same direction, just over different session windows, so they never conflict — same for the 15-min configs. The one risk is mixing timeframes across separate accounts under your own name: a 30-min and a 15-min config can hold opposite MNQ positions at the same moment — long on one account, short on the other — which Topstep, Apex & most prop firms flag as hedging and can freeze or fail the accounts. To run a 30-min and a 15-min at the same time, separate them: a different prop firm per config, each under a different trader (e.g. a family member's account), or one at a time. Same-timeframe configs together = always safe.

Two ways to run Falcon AI Elite — pick your platform:

2
Getting Started
ADD FALCON AI ELITE TO TRADINGVIEW

Four steps. Under 5 minutes. The defaults are pre-loaded — you just pick your style.

1

Open TradingView

Go to tradingview.com. Set symbol to CME_MINI:MNQ1!. Set timeframe to 30-min (for PRIME30, EXT-PRIME30 or GOLDEN30) or 15-min (for PRIME15, EXT-PRIME15 or GOLDEN15). New to TradingView? Get $15 off →

2

Add the Elite script

Click Indicators → Invite-Only Scripts → click Falcon AI — ELITE → Add to Chart. The dashboard should appear in the top-right showing "FALCON AI — ELITE v6.5".

3

Pick your session

Open ⚙️ settings → 🕐 Session Mode → choose PRIME (PRIME30 on a 30-min chart, or PRIME15 on a 15-min chart), EXTENDED_PRIME (EXT-PRIME30 or EXT-PRIME15), GOLDEN (GOLDEN30 on a 30-min chart, or the live-validated GOLDEN15 on a 15-min chart — the 10AM–1PM window), or CRYPTO (for BTC/ETH). The session is set by the dropdown and the timeframe by your chart, so the same Session Mode maps to either the 30-min or 15-min config depending on your chart. All risk settings auto-load. Hit OK.

4

Connect your webhook and trade

See Section 4 for broker setup. Manual trading also works — Falcon AI fires alerts during your selected window.

Pre-Loaded Settings (Reference Only)

These settings come pre-loaded in your Elite script and are identical across all six configs — only timeframe and session change. Listed for reference. You don't need to enter anything manually.

✅
Why our config beats the backtest in real life
The live config uses a wider stop, a wider take-profit, and a higher confluence threshold than a naive backtest — fewer but cleaner setups, with room to survive real-broker slippage and tick noise. The exact values are baked into your script. Same edge — structured to survive a live broker.

Trade Execution
CONNECTING TO YOUR BROKER

Falcon AI fires signals in TradingView. You need a webhook provider to route those signals to your broker.

🏆
Supported Prop Firms
Auto-execution via webhook: TopStep · MyFundedFutures · TradeDay · The Funded Trader · Apex Trader Funding. Take Profit Trader: automate only via the native NinjaTrader add-on (a local NinjaScript strategy on your own chart) — not through a webhook/PickMyTrade router, which is the third-party copy-trading it bans. Falcon AI signals work on every firm manually. Prop-firm automation rules change often — always verify your firm's current Terms of Service before automating (Apex's funded-account rules are especially strict).

🪙 BITCOIN CRYPTO CONFIG

An Elite-exclusive config on top of the 6 MNQ configs. Trade Bitcoin (and any other crypto) 24/7 with the same core engine, on the KRAKEN:BTCUSD spot chart. BTC backtest produced +$207,587 net profit (208% return) over 11 months with 9/9 profitable months and just 2.58% max drawdown — backtest only, not yet live-validated. Basic members cannot run crypto — script is hard-locked to MNQ.

1

Open a Bitcoin chart in TradingView

Use KRAKEN:BTCUSD — the spot pair our backtest ran on, and accessible everywhere (no Binance geo-restrictions). Timeframe: 30-min.

2

Add Falcon AI Elite, switch Session Mode to CRYPTO

⚙️ settings → 🕐 Session → Session Mode = CRYPTO. The dashboard will show "CRYPTO 24/7" in orange.

3

Change contract size to 1

Properties tab → change Order size from 2 to 1. Critical for BTC — 2 BTC contracts exceeds the default $100K capital and breaks the Strategy Tester display.

4

Connect to a crypto-compatible webhook provider

Bybit, OKX, Kraken, or any exchange supporting TradingView webhook automation. Make sure your account is set to One-Way position mode and your API has trading permissions enabled.

💡
CRYPTO mode differences vs futures
No 4:10 PM force-flat — positions hold across days · Weekend trading enabled · No session time gating · No news/FOMC blocks · All 12 confluence factors still scored. Only time-based filters are bypassed.
🏦
Choosing your crypto exchange
Falcon AI Elite works with any exchange that supports TradingView webhook automation — you route the trades yourself via your webhook provider. Look for: One-Way position mode, under 0.06% taker fee, tight BTC spreads, and API rate limits above 100 req/min. Always test in demo for 7+ days before going live.
⚠️
BTC numbers are backtest only — no live validation yet
Unlike MNQ (which has 184 real trades validated), the BTC config has not yet been validated on a live account. The 208% backtest return is impressive but apply a heavy real-world haircut and trade demo first. Crypto markets have higher spread variance than futures.
6
Setting Realistic Expectations
WHAT TO EXPECT IN LIVE TRADING

This is the most important section in the guide. Read it before going live.

📊
TradingView Backtest ≠ Reality
Do NOT judge Falcon AI by the TradingView Strategy Tester. We've validated that TV's bar magnifier under-represents wider-stop configs by ~50%. Our backtests show modest numbers because we're not tuning for the backtester — we're tuning for your broker account. The only test that matters is your live fills.
✅
What live trading actually looked like (verified)
Sample week on our personal NinjaTrader account ($900 funded, real money): $2,582 in 5 trading days with 88.7% WR and PF 3.13 across 62 trades. Same GOLDEN15 config backtested at PF 1.58 — live beats backtest ~2×. Apply your own 20–30% real-world haircut for spread variance and execution differences.
💡
Losing days happen even at 88% WR
Average loser is larger than average winner. You'll lose on individual days. The edge resolves in your favor only over weeks and months. Don't judge by daily P&L — judge by the monthly chart.
