MORE ABOUT MAX
The most advanced piece of trading software we have ever created.
ACTIVE MAX is the culmination of decades spent developing, testing and refining automated trading systems — now accelerated by the latest AI-assisted development tools.
Behind the scenes sits sophisticated strategy logic, dynamic money management, portfolio-level controls and multiple layers of protection. Yet from the investor’s point of view, ACTIVE MAX has been deliberately designed to remain simple.
Advanced enough to manage the complexity.
Simple enough to run itself.

This is not just another trading robot.
Many automated trading systems are built around one currency pair, one indicator, one entry rule and one way of looking at the market.
ACTIVE MAX is different.
It combines multiple independently developed trading strategies inside one coordinated portfolio engine. Different strategies look for different types of opportunity, allowing the software to respond to a wider range of market conditions than a single-strategy system.
The result is a more active, more diversified and more sophisticated approach to automated trading.
This is not a black box.
ACTIVE MAX may be highly sophisticated, but it is also transparent and fully adjustable.
Every important trading setting, money-management control and protection feature can be viewed and adjusted by the user. Experienced traders can fine-tune the software if they wish, while less experienced users can simply use our carefully selected factory settings.
AI has helped accelerate the development, testing and integration process, but the live trading engine remains disciplined, rules-based and fully controlled by its programmed logic.
More opportunities. Shorter trades. Less time tied up in the market.
ACTIVE MAX was specifically designed to be more active than our earlier generation of trading software.
Rather than waiting extended periods for one slow-moving strategy to produce a signal, ACTIVE MAX seeks more frequent, generally shorter-duration trading opportunities.
The objective is simple:
More activity. More opportunity. Less time exposed to the market.
It does not need the stock market to rise.
Traditional investors are often heavily dependent on rising asset prices.
ACTIVE MAX is different.
It trades multiple currency pairs in the highly liquid forex market and can take both BUY and SELL positions. Its opportunity comes from movement in the currency markets — not from relying on global stock markets continuing to climb.
For investors who are increasingly uncomfortable with market valuations, global uncertainty or having too much capital exposed to conventional long-only investments, ACTIVE MAX offers a very different type of trading exposure.
It is not a hedge and it cannot eliminate investment risk, but it does not need the stock market to rise in order to find opportunity
Every trade sits inside layers of protection.
A sophisticated trading system should do far more than simply find entries.
ACTIVE MAX continuously evaluates whether a new trade should be allowed, how large it should be and whether risk should be reduced or stopped.
Its protection framework includes:
-
Dynamic position sizing
-
Market-moving news protection
-
Spread protection
-
Daily profit-lock controls
-
Daily loss protection
-
Long-term equity protection
-
Weekend exposure control
-
Optional hard stop-loss and take-profit protection
The objective is not simply to generate trades. It is to manage the entire trading journey.
Lock in good days. Control the bad ones.
One of ACTIVE MAX’s most powerful features is its ability to stop adding new risk once a configured daily profit level has been reached.
Rather than continuing to trade simply because the market is still open, ACTIVE MAX can lock down the trading day once its objective has been achieved.
At the other end of the spectrum, daily loss controls and long-term peak-equity protection provide additional safeguards when conditions deteriorate.
No protection system can eliminate loss, but ACTIVE MAX has been designed so that risk management sits at the centre of the system — not as an afterthought.
And now ACTIVE MAX is trading live.
Historical testing is where a strategy earns the right to move forward.
Live trading is where the real test begins.
ACTIVE MAX has now moved beyond simulation and into real broker conditions — where actual spreads, liquidity, execution and market behaviour replace the controlled environment of a backtest.
The goal was never simply to produce a great historical graph.
We built ACTIVE MAX to trade real money in the real world.
Advanced enough to run itself.
For all the technology inside ACTIVE MAX, using it is deliberately straightforward.
Once correctly installed and configured, ACTIVE MAX can monitor the market, evaluate opportunities, calculate trade size, place trades, manage positions, monitor protection conditions and close trades automatically.
You do not need to:
-
Watch charts all day
-
Choose trades manually
-
Calculate position sizes
-
React to economic news
-
Manage every open position yourself
You remain in control of your own trading account and can monitor activity from MT5 on your computer or phone whenever you wish.
Advanced technology should not require an advanced user.
Every ACTIVE MAX licence includes a comprehensive Getting Started and User Manual together with direct support if you need assistance.
And if you would prefer not to deal with the technical setup at all, our $99 Complete Setup Service can help get ACTIVE MAX installed and ready to operate.
Once it is running, the objective is simple: Let ACTIVE MAX do the work in the background while you get on with your life.
Advanced enough to manage the complexity.
Simple enough to run itself.
ACTIVE MAX combines decades of trading-system development, modern AI-assisted technology, multiple trading strategies, sophisticated money management, layered protection and fully automated operation inside one powerful platform.
If you have been waiting for something genuinely different in automated trading, this may be the software you have been waiting for.
