Building tools that give retail futures traders a real edge
LCL Trades was born out of one simple frustration: most trading indicators are built by marketers, not traders. After years of trading S&P 500 futures and going through the Topstep evaluation process, I realized that the indicators I needed simply did not exist.
So I built them myself. Starting with VWAP-based mean reversion strategies for the ES and MES contracts, I spent hundreds of hours backtesting on 2+ years of historical data. Every parameter was optimized, every edge case was handled, and every strategy was validated against strict drawdown and consistency rules.
The result is a suite of TradingView indicators that I use in my own trading every single day. They are not black boxes or magic formulas. They are systematic, rule-based approaches to futures trading with clear entry logic, defined risk, and proven metrics.
To give every retail futures trader access to the same quality of tools and analysis that institutional traders take for granted. No hype, no unrealistic promises — just transparent, backtested strategies that work.
