SI-Trader review: the facts, from the source
This page is published by SI-Trader itself, so treat it for what it is: a complete, checkable statement of what the product is and is not — not an independent review. There are no star ratings and no testimonials here, because we will not invent either. Judge the facts.
What SI-Trader is
SI-Trader is an automated trading system for NinjaTrader 8. Instead of betting on a single strategy, it carries 50 trading edges — distinct, rule-based setups — and continuously scores live market conditions on a 1-minute chart (it builds its own 3- and 5-minute context internally). At its scan times it ranks the edges and trades only the single highest-confidence setup that clears its threshold. If nothing qualifies, it does nothing.
How it trades, by default
| Behaviour | Default |
|---|---|
| Scans | 09:30, 10:00, and 14:00 ET, 10 minutes each |
| Active window | 09:35–15:30 ET, Monday–Friday; forced flat at 15:55 ET |
| Confidence threshold | 0.68 — setups below it are skipped |
| Stop / target | 20 ticks / 30 ticks |
| Risk caps | Max $300 risk per trade, $1,000 daily max loss, $1,500 daily max profit, max 3 trades per day |
| Loss controls | Kill switch after 3 consecutive losses; 15-minute cooldown after a loss |
| Optional AI validation | OpenAI validation is available but off by default; it runs on your own OpenAI key if you choose to enable it |
Every one of these settings is customizable. The defaults above are simply where it starts.

Licensing and activation
One purchase licenses one computer. Activation takes minutes through the buyer portal at account.si-trader.net: sign in with your email, enter your Machine ID and order number, and your licence key is issued. Changed computers are handled fairly — email your order number and the licence is moved to the new machine free, usually the same day. The system enforces one-order-one-machine automatically, which is what keeps a single purchase from being shared around.
Who it is for — and who it is not for
| A fit | Not a fit |
|---|---|
| NinjaTrader 8 futures traders who want a rules-based system with hard risk caps | Anyone looking for guaranteed profits — no trading system can offer that |
| Traders who prefer one system that selects among many setups over hand-managing a single strategy | Traders on other platforms — SI-Trader is NinjaTrader 8 only |
| Buyers who prefer owning software outright over renting it monthly | Anyone who needs the system to run on several computers under one licence |
