001 — Prop firms

Where it pays the most.

A year of System 01 trades run through 54 accounts at 8 firms, with every fee taken out. The top three are instant-funding accounts, so there is no evaluation to pass. Figures use a moderate size, where two losses in a row can’t end the account.

003 — How it runs

  1. 001Invite-only on TradingViewSend Nyx your TradingView username in the members’ Discord and the strategy appears on your chart. Change only the risk per trade.
  2. 002Alerts for every entry and exitYour own TradingView alert, with #system-01-live in Discord as the backup. You place the orders on your prop firm or broker platform.
  3. 003At most one trade a dayNew York morning only, about two or three trades a week. No overnight risk, nothing to babysit.
  4. 004Logged live, never editedEvery fill goes from TradingView to the public log and to #system-01-log the moment it closes.

One membership covers System 01, System Apophis and every system released after them.

005 — Questions

Before you join.

01Does System 01 place trades for me?

Not yet. It runs on TradingView and sends alerts; you place the orders on your prop firm or broker platform. Automated execution on your own account arrives with System Apophis and is part of the membership.

02Which prop firms does it work with?

Any firm that lets you trade from TradingView alerts. The prop firm leaderboard compares 54 accounts at 8 firms. Read your firm’s rules on automation, news and consistency before you start.

03Why do some accounts breach?

At bigger sizes, one or two losses can reach an account’s max loss. The moderate size used above risks half the max loss per trade, so two losses in a row can’t end the account. Bigger sizes pay out sooner but breach more accounts.

04Can I see it trade before I buy?

Yes. Every System 01 trade is logged automatically from TradingView and never edited. Watch the closed trades in the free Discord’s #system-01-log channel or on the live log, and download the CSV.

05Are these results from live accounts?

No. They are backtested and simulated results with commission and slippage estimates taken out. Live results will differ. Read the disclosures below.

06Is there a free trial?

Not any more. The launch trial closed on Oct 1. The Systems Desk is $79 a month, cancel any time, and the live log is free to watch before you decide.

07What do I need?

A TradingView account, a prop firm or futures broker account, and Discord. System 01 runs on MNQ or NQ on the 1-minute chart.

08Is System 01 part of System Apophis?

No. Apophis is six strategies from our research partner run as one account, with its own record. System 01 is Nyx’s own system with its own live log. Both are in the same membership.
