Built by Neonlash
Neonlash is the company behind a family of focused software products. Each product has a clear job and a name of its own. Tradeboy is the one built for rule-driven trading: broker connections, strategy engines, risk controls, journals, and a calm operating cockpit.
01 — The rules
Tradeboy runs rules tested the boring way: parameter sweeps, decade-by-decade breakdowns, and out-of-sample runs on fifteen symbols the strategies had never seen. What survived ships. What didn't — including shorting, which we tested and measured losing — doesn't.
Donchian breakouts behind a 200-day regime filter, plus a liquidity-sweep reversal model. Entries only on fresh signals; exits trail. All parameters published, none curve-fit.
0.5% of equity per position, sized off the stop. Position caps, a −3% daily kill-switch, and a protective stop resting at the broker, guarding every position even while your Mac sleeps.
Signals compute after the close; orders fill at the next open. The bot schedules itself from your menu bar — no cron, no server, no babysitting. Flat is a position.
02 — Intraday engine
Tradeboy's second engine runs alongside the daily book — Bollinger mean-reversion on M15 bars for XAUUSD, XAGUSD and BTCUSD on FTMO/cTrader. Gold and Bitcoin can route live; silver runs in an isolated shadow ledger while its real-world evidence grows. Research status cannot be bypassed by a pair toggle.
Gold uses the validated live rules. Silver evaluates the same frozen setup and records spread-aware shadow trades, but live XAGUSD entries stay blocked pending a minimum 90-day, 30-trade review.
Crypto margin is 1:1 on FTMO (not 1:30 like forex), so position sizes are capped at 90% equity. Entry window is toggleable per pair from the UI — never block a buy.
The BTC leg has a trailing 90-day expectancy monitor. If it goes negative over 30+ closed trades, entries are mechanically blocked. No manual intervention needed — the system defends itself.
03 — The evidence
Anyone can show you a single equity curve that happened to go up. For Tradeboy, we took 865 backtested trades and bootstrapped a thousand possible one-year paths — so you see the range of outcomes these rules produced, not the one run that flattered them most.
04 — The cockpit
Tradeboy shows live P&L, your equity curve inside the backtest's expectation band, and a journal of every signal, order and veto. When the market is closed, it says so. When data is stale, it says so. Honest instruments, calm by design.
05 — The AI layer
Bring your own OpenAI key and every run gets a plain-language story — why it entered, why it exited, why doing nothing was the right call. A daily brief digests the headlines so you don't have to. And when the news feels scary, ask Tradeboy why it isn't scared: the answer comes from your own journal, not the feed.
"No setup means no trade, by design." Deterministic facts from the journal, written up calmly. Anxiety is a UI bug — this is the fix.
Headlines for your instruments, summarized with per-symbol sentiment. Clearly labeled context — never a trading signal.
"Why am I flat?" "How bad can a losing streak get?" Answers grounded in your positions, your journal and the backtest record.
Neonlash field notes
Production mistakes, measured changes and the decisions that are harder than they first appear. Written while we build Tradeboy, without the victory-lap version.
A live automated trade moved from roughly +$1,500 to -$1,500. Nothing had failed. That was the part we needed to fix.
