HOW THE FBD SYSTEM WORKS

Built around the failed-breakdown setup.

Level Engine provides trade levels for planning. FBD Bot monitors selected levels and manages orders through NinjaTrader. Autopilot can deploy eligible levels automatically based on your filters.

01 / FIND LEVELS

Discover

Level Engine identifies actionable failed-breakdown, reclaim, support-buy, and key levels.

02 / WATCH STRUCTURE

Monitor

FBD Bot watches the trader-selected level for supported setup conditions.

03 / LOCAL EXECUTION

Execute

Configured entries, targets, stops, and position handling run through NinjaTrader.

OPTIONAL / AUTOPILOT

Deploy

Autopilot applies filters to deploy Level Engine levels to FBD Bot automatically.

Each tool can be used according to its own subscription. Bundle combines Level Engine and FBD Bot; Autopilot includes automated deployment.
TRADE MANAGEMENT / RISK / CONFIGURATION

Manage the position. Automate the process.

Configure how FBD Bot handles selected setups, position management, and risk controls. Monitor the strategy through the live dashboard while the software applies your trading settings.

FBD SYSTEM / COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions.

Questions about the four FBD products, product requirements, and how the software is configured.

Can I learn the failed breakdown methodology if I'm unfamiliar with it?

Absolutely. FBDBot provides educational resources covering the failed breakdown methodology, setup identification, level selection, and software configuration. Our public Learn section introduces the fundamentals, while subscribers have access to a more extensive library of guides, trade examples, recaps, and configuration walkthroughs through the Customer Hub.

Is FBD Bot an algorithm that decides trades on its own?

FBD Bot uses rule-based automation, but it isn't a black-box trading strategy. It monitors selected levels and executes trades when the configured failed breakdown conditions are met. Traders control their levels, execution settings, risk parameters, and trade management preferences. Level Engine and Autopilot can further automate level generation and deployment.

Which FBD software is right for the way I trade?

That depends on how you identify and trade your levels. If you use your own levels or levels from another source, FBD Bot can automate execution without requiring Level Engine. Level Engine generates trading levels, while the Bundle combines level generation with automated execution. Autopilot automates deployment of Level Engine levels using configurable filters. It does not deploy levels from unrelated sources, so traders exclusively using their own or third-party levels generally won’t benefit from its additional functionality.

How does FBD Bot operate during a trading session?

After selecting a profile and beginning a session through FBDBot Control Center, trading configuration and monitoring take place through the live dashboard. From there, you can configure levels, execution conditions, risk parameters, and trade management settings. FBD Bot monitors for qualifying failed breakdown setups and can execute and manage trades automatically through NinjaTrader Desktop. Your dashboard provides live visibility into trading activity, and settings can be reviewed and adjusted throughout the session.

Does FBD Bot work with prop firms?

FBD Bot submits standard orders through NinjaTrader Desktop and is designed around selective failed breakdown setups rather than high-frequency trading activity. However, prop firm rules vary. Always confirm that your firm permits automated trading and review any restrictions concerning order frequency, scalping, or prohibited trading behavior. TradeDay is an official FBDBot prop firm partner.

Does FBD Bot guarantee profits or a specific win rate?

No. FBD Bot automates trading rules, but profitability and win rates depend on how the software is configured and used. Factors such as level quality, market conditions, timing, setup strictness, contract allocation, and risk management all influence results. Autopilot introduces additional deployment and quality filters that can also affect performance. Because configurations vary between traders, we do not publish a universal win rate that could misleadingly imply consistent results. Automation does not eliminate trading risk or guarantee profitable outcomes.
