Most trading bots are sold on a backtest. Someone takes ten years of price history, tunes the rules until the chart goes up and to the right, and puts that chart on a sales page.
A backtest tells you how well the rules fit the past. It says almost nothing about next month. That's why so many bots that look perfect in testing quietly lose money within a few months of going live.
We decided early that nas.bot would be judged on something you can check: trades taken going forward, on a real broker feed, published as they happen.

What the record shows
The NAS100 bot has run forward on a demo account since 24 March 2026. By 21 October it had taken 160 signals. The account was up 62.7%, and its deepest drawdown was 4.9%.
We size the record so the worst drawdown stays under 5% of a $10,000 balance. We show the drawdown right next to the gain, because a return means nothing until you know what you had to sit through to get it.
There are losing trades in there and losing weeks too. They stay up. A record that only shows the good days isn't a record.

One lot is worth a different amount on every instrument, so equal lots are not equal risk.
Results shown with the published time filters applied, which is how the software ships and how
it runs live. Demo account, so there is no slippage or fill risk of the kind a funded account carries. Currency
figures are produced from the balance and lot sizes you chose above, applied to signals that
already happened. They are an illustration, not a projection and not an offer. Past results do
not predict future results, and trading carries risk of loss.
Why most bots fail people
Three things go wrong over and over.
The backtest is the whole pitch. If there's no forward record, you're buying a curve fitted to the past.
The risk is hidden. Grid and martingale systems double into losing trades. They win ninety times, and then one bad move takes the whole account. nas.bot holds one position with one stop and never averages down.
The rules are a black box. If you can't see what the bot does, you can't tell a rough patch from a broken system. So people switch it off at exactly the wrong moment. We keep the rules themselves private, but every trade is on the site, so you can see exactly what the bot does.

Six losses in a row leave a martingale holding 32 times its first position. One more move against it and the account is gone. nas.bot's size stays the same, with one stop on every trade.
What you actually get
nas.bot runs four markets and six strategies, grouped into three books: NAS100, gold and a portfolio. You can run one book or all three.
We build the server for you. It's a locked-down machine near your broker, with MT5 installed, the bots configured and your broker account connected. Your money stays with your broker and nobody else can withdraw it. You log in from a browser to change the size, pause a bot or switch it off.
What runs where
Our accountRuns the bots and sends each trade to your server.
Your serverLocked down, near your broker, MT5 and the bots installed by us.
Your broker accountIn your name. Your money stays here and only you can withdraw it.
You control it from a browser: change the size, pause a bot, or switch it off.
What it costs
While we're in beta, the software is free. You pay for the server it runs on. With the code nas27 that's $27 a month for your first three months, then $197 a month, and you can cancel before it renews. There's no profit share and no performance fee.
We'll only put a price on the software once the forward record is long enough to justify one.
