Approach
Two very different paths.
Same capital, same markets. Two completely different outcomes.
The gamble
Overtrade
Dozens of trades a day, chasing every tick.
Oversized risk
Bet big to win big, with no real safety net.
Lucky streak
A few wins build dangerous overconfidence.
One bad day
A single run erases weeks of gains.
Account blown
Back to zero, and back to the start.
The discipline
Wait
Stay flat until a high-probability setup appears.
Risk first
Every trade carries a defined, capped loss.
Snipe
Take the clean entry, ignore everything else.
Recover
A few losses barely dent the curve.
Compound
Steady gains stack into long-term payouts.
Results
A record built on consistency.
We measure success in smoothness, not spikes — steady compounding with shallow drawdowns, tracked patiently over the long term.

Questions, answered.
What is Vesta Capital?
A systematic, rules-based trading strategy for NinjaTrader 8 futures. It's built to compound steadily over time rather than chase big, risky wins — patience over spectacle.
What does it trade?
Micro index futures — the E-mini S&P 500 (MES) and Nasdaq-100 (MNQ) — traded intraday on NinjaTrader 8.
How is it different from other bots and traders?
Most algos overtrade — scalping constantly and gambling on size. Vesta waits for a small number of high-probability setups, keeps drawdown controlled, and stays flat the rest of the time. We snipe, we don't spray.
How are the results measured?
Backtested in NinjaTrader 8 on tick-replay data, with commission and slippage included. The figures on the results page are refreshed on the first of each month.
What kind of risk should I expect?
The goal is steady, compounding growth with shallow drawdowns. Every position carries a defined risk, and the strategy is designed to recover from losing streaks. All performance shown is hypothetical and backtested — it doesn't guarantee future results.
