Don't fight the ocean. Trade the Winds.
TradeWinds is a strategy trading partner for prop-firm futures traders. It trades when you aren't. It trades beside you. It reads the water and tells you why — and why not.
The Story
This strategy was birthed from the waves of Ormond Beach, where you learn young that there are exactly two ways to deal with the ocean: you can fight the waves, or you can ride them. Fighting the ocean is how swimmers drown and how traders blow accounts — counter-trending, revenge-trading, forcing entries into blown-out chop. Riding it is how surfers and sailors have always survived: read the conditions, position early, take the good waves, and stay out of the water when the ocean says no.
The trade winds are the name's second lesson. They're the most reliable directional force on Earth — steady prevailing winds that powered centuries of global commerce. Sailors never fought them or tried to overpower them. They read them and rode them. That is the entire strategy, stated as weather.
And Ormond Beach carries one more tradition: it's the Birthplace of Speed, where the first land-speed records ran on our hard-packed sand. Both traditions live in this partner — the patience of the lineup and the speed of the flats.
Founders
Founder · Strategy & Trading · Ormond Beach, FL
A prop-firm futures trader whose honest self-audit started everything: his entries were never the problem — stop placement and stop management were. So he built the partner that owns the stops, obeys the money rules without exception, and never paddles against the ocean.
Co-Founder · Product & Operations · St. Augustine, FL
Vin's nephew and the other half of the kitchen-table conversations that turned a trading system into a product. A young professional in St. Augustine, Rory cut his teeth surfing the waves of Ormond Beach.
Co-Founder · Trading & Community · St. Augustine, FL
Rory's friend and the third chair at the table. Connor is a young professional in St. Augustine who's been honing his craft trading futures for various prop firms.
Built between Ormond Beach and St. Augustine — two Florida beach towns, one point of view. The brand, the culture, and the trading strategy aren't three things wearing one logo. They're one thing: read the water, ride the sets, respect the ocean.
Positioning
a trader's assistant with settings that help automate. It finds high-quality trade setups — it helps you catch the good waves — manages every stop and exit with machine discipline, enforces the account rules that protect capital, and, when you want it to, executes on its own. Positioned accurately, that promise is already true.
an "automated bot, get rich quick" product. It doesn't promise profits, pass prop challenges for you, or remove your responsibility for your own account. A boring day — zero trades, standing aside in blown-out conditions — is a correct day. Judgment gets freedom; capital gets law.
How it works
momentum engine
Scores the market 0–100 across three timeframes, grades it A–F, and only trades C or better. Rides confirmed, building energy. Laggards get scratched in minutes; winners ratchet to breakeven, lock profit, and trail.
sweep-reclaim engine
Buys the trend at a discount, the way funded traders actually do it: waits for a stop run through a swing, a structure reclaim, then enters on the retest — stop tucked beyond the sweep. Breakeven at 1R, then hands-off to a target that extends toward real liquidity.
manual mode
You see something the filters don't? Stage a line, flip one switch, and your trade gets the machine's discipline: computed stop, scaled size, full management. You can overrule its filters. Nothing overrules the money rules.
Easter-egg teaser
The dashboard ships in two voices. Professional speaks plain trading language. Surf Report says the same things the way we say them at the home desk: Wave Energy, Conditions ("Blown out" is the real surf term for wind-ruined chop), Tailwind and Headwind, Tide Check, Undertow, and a banner called YOUR WAVE. Identical data, more fun. It's the one we use — it might be the one you use too.
Risk system
Dollar-defined risk before every entry. Setups too wide for the budget are skipped, never force-sized.
The day has a shape. Daily target lockout; soft, hard, and streak circuit breakers; a hard-loss flatten that applies to humans and engines alike.
Three independent protection layers. The bot's ratcheting stop, a never-moving broker-side disaster stop, and your platform limits — no single failure produces an unmanaged position.
Nothing holds into the halt. Session-end flattens, FOMC/roll blackout windows, a pre-halt flatten before the futures break, and a one-click flatten that works even if the chart loses sync.

FAQ
No. TradeWinds is a TradingView strategy you run on your own chart, connected to your own TradersPost and broker/prop accounts. We never touch your funds, keys, or positions.
Invite-only access to the strategy on TradingView (granted to your TV username), full setup documentation, the Operator's Manual and annotated screen guides, and ongoing updates.
A TradingView plan with alerts and real-time CME data, a TradersPost account, and a supported broker or prop account. Verify your firm permits automation.
Nobody can promise that, and you should run from anyone who does. TradeWinds is built around prop-survival rules, and its forward record will be published. Markets decide the rest.
Because selling unvalidated trading systems is exactly what's wrong with this industry. The waitlist watches the test; subscriptions open if the pre-registered criteria are met — and if they aren't, we'll say so.
The trade winds are steady, directional, and reliable — sailors didn't fight them, they rode them. The word "trade" was already in the name. And we're from a beach town; it was always going to be about the ocean.
Private access
Ask for access and you'll see the forward validation as it happens — the criteria, the trade log, the verdict. If it passes, you get the founding rate. If it doesn't, you'll have lost nothing but the time it took to raise your hand.
