Step 9 of 9 — Final Step

Go live.

Your accounts are connected. Your algorithms are installed. Now we apply them to every account, enable strategies, and send you to Discord where Oracle will walk you through your first live sessions.

1

Apply algorithms to all accounts

In Step 5, you added the Quaternion strategies to your NQ chart on the sim account. Now we apply them to your live and eval accounts.

For each account you want to trade:

  • Right-click your NQ chart
  • Select Strategies...
  • Click a strategy in the Configured list on the left
  • Under Setup → Account, pick your live/eval account from the dropdown
  • Verify "Send Orders To" at the top is set to MNQ
  • Make sure Enabled is checked
  • Click OK
Strategy properties — select account and set Send Orders To MNQ
Strategy properties — select your eval/live account from the dropdown, confirm Send Orders To = MNQ
⚠️ Double-check every account

Before clicking OK, verify for each strategy on each account:

  • ✔ Correct account selected
  • ✔ Send Orders To = MNQ (not NQ)
  • ✔ Strategy is enabled
2

Running multiple accounts

If you have multiple eval or PA accounts, you'll apply the same strategies to each one. Each account gets its own set of strategy instances.

💡 How it works with multiple accounts

Each Quaternion strategy runs independently per account. If you have 4 Apex accounts, you'll have 4 instances of each strategy — 16 strategy instances total across 4 algos. They all run off the same NQ chart data but route orders to each account's MNQ independently.

Verify everything in the Control Center

Open the Strategies tab in the Control Center. You should see:

  • All 4 Quaternion strategies listed for each account
  • Status shows Enabled for each (checkboxes on the right)
  • Account column shows the correct account for each row
  • Connection shows Apex Rithmic (or your broker) — green dot at bottom left
  • No errors or warnings in the Log tab
Control Center Strategies tab — all verified
Your Strategies tab should look like this — all algos, all accounts, all enabled, green connection

Check the Log tab for any error messages. If everything is clean, you're good to go.

Save your workspace

This is critical — save your workspace so this entire setup is preserved:

File → Save Workspace

Save Workspace
File → Save Workspace — preserve your complete setup

Next time you open NinjaTrader, load your saved workspace and everything will be exactly as you left it — charts, strategies, connections, all of it.

Final Checkpoint — You're Ready

Take one final screenshot showing your complete setup:

  • Control Center open with all connections green
  • NQ 15-minute chart with algorithms running
  • MNQ 15-minute chart open
  • Strategies tab showing all algos enabled on all accounts
  • Send Orders To = MNQ on every strategy
  • Workspace saved
  • Log tab is clean — no errors

Share this screenshot with Oracle on Discord for final verification.

What NOT to do

The Quaternion suite is fully automated. Your job is to let it run. Here are the things that will hurt your results:

⚠️ Let the algorithms manage your trades

You can manually close a position if you absolutely need to — nothing will break. But the algorithms are designed to manage every entry, exit, stop loss, and profit target as a unified system. When you intervene on open trades, you're overriding logic that was built to maximize the outcome. In practice, hands-off traders consistently see better results. Trust the system and let it work.

🚫 Do NOT disable strategies mid-session

If an algorithm has an open position, disabling it orphans that trade — no stop loss, no profit target, no management. If you need to stop for the day, wait until all positions are flat.

⚠️ Don't chase results by changing parameters

The algorithms ship pre-tuned with settings refined across thousands of hours of market data. It's tempting to tweak inputs after a red day — resist the urge. Constant parameter changes destroy the statistical edge faster than anything else. Pick a plan, commit to it, and give it time to play out. If something genuinely looks wrong, ask Oracle on Discord before touching anything.

⚠️ Make sure your connection is rock solid

If your internet drops while an algo has an open position, your stop loss won't fire until the connection comes back. That's real money at risk. Run the algorithms on stable WiFi, a wired ethernet connection, or a VPS — anything reliable. If your home internet is spotty, a VPS (Step 3) eliminates the problem entirely.

💡 The golden rule

If you're unsure about something, don't touch it. Ask Oracle on Discord first. There's no question too basic. That's what we're here for.

🎯

Setup complete.

Your algorithms are installed, your accounts are connected, and your strategies are live. The Quaternion suite is ready to trade. Now let's get you into the community.

Join Oracle on Discord

Discord is your command center. Oracle is there every trading day to:

  • Verify your final setup screenshots
  • Walk you through your first live sessions
  • Explain what the algorithms are doing and why
  • Post real-time trade announcements in #algo-trades
  • Troubleshoot anything that comes up
  • Help you scale to more accounts when you're ready
Join the Oracle Discord →

You'll get access to #algo-trades, #support, and direct messages with Oracle.

Your daily routine

☔ Before market open

  • Open R|Trader Pro and log in (Rithmic users)
  • Open NinjaTrader and load your saved workspace
  • Verify all connections show green in the Control Center
  • Verify all strategies show as Enabled in the Strategies tab
  • That's it — the algorithms handle the rest

📊 During the session

  • Trade announcements appear in Discord #algo-trades
  • Your NinjaTrader Strategies tab shows entries, exits, and P&L
  • You don't need to watch the charts — the algos don't need supervision
  • If you want to watch, that's fine — just don't intervene

🌙 After market close

  • Check your P&L in the Strategies tab or your prop firm dashboard
  • Review the day's trade announcements in Discord
  • No need to close NinjaTrader — leave it running if you're on a VPS
  • If running locally, you can close after all positions are flat

Your first week

Here's what to expect so nothing catches you off guard.

Not every algo trades every day

The Quaternion strategies are selective by design. Some days, one or more algos won't find a qualifying setup and will sit out. This is the edge working — not a problem. A "no trade" day means the algo protected your capital by staying flat when conditions didn't meet its criteria.

Red days happen

No algorithm wins every trade. You will see losing days — sometimes multiple in a row. This is normal. The edge plays out over weeks and months, not individual sessions. Don't panic-disable after a red day. That's the fastest way to destroy a statistical edge.

Trades happen fast

You might check Discord and see a trade already opened and closed. Some trades last minutes. The algos don't wait for you to be watching — they execute the moment conditions are met. If you want real-time notifications, make sure your Discord notifications are on for #algo-trades.

Trust the process

The hardest part of running algorithms isn't the setup — it's the discipline to let them run. You've done the hard part. Now your job is to show up, make sure your connections are green, and let the Quaternion suite do what it was built to do.
