Building automated trading systems isn’t just a technical skill — it’s a business opportunity. Whether you trade your own capital, manage others’, or share your systems, your bots can become part of a scalable income model. At Profectus.AI, we don’t provide financial advice or mentorship, but we do empower you with the tools to build, test, and deploy your own trading systems — and explore how they can fit into different business models.
1. Trade Your Own Capital
The most natural starting point. Run your bots on a demo account first, then on your own capital. This helps you:
Build confidence in your systems
Create a verifiable track record
Understand live execution differences vs. backtesting
Once your bots are consistent, you can scale position sizes, diversify across assets, or apply for prop firm funding — firms that allocate capital to algorithmic traders meeting their performance rules.
2. Trade Other People’s Money (OPM)
Once you’ve proven consistent results, you can trade funded accounts or manage external capital. This can happen through:
Prop firms (FTMO and co.) where your bots run under strict drawdown limits
Social trading or copy trading platforms where others automatically mirror your trades
Managing OPM requires discipline and transparency — but it’s a powerful way to scale without needing more of your own capital.
3. Build and Sell EAs
With Profectus.AI, every bot you build is exportable and sharable. You can:
Distribute your bots’ compiled files (EX5) for free or for sale
Share your source files (MQ5) with licensing protection on the Pro plan
Upload bots to platforms like the MetaQuotes Marketplace
Just ensure your system meets best practices:
Minimum 3–6 months of stable live results
Reward-to-drawdown ratio above 2
Transparent logic and clean documentation
4. Create a Portfolio or Brand
Many successful traders evolve into system developers or EA brands — offering strategy portfolios, signals, or white-labeled bots to traders and funds. The market is full of black-box systems with no transparency. That’s your opportunity:
stand out by building tested, documented, and explainable EAs.
Financial Freedom Through Systems
Whether you aim for full financial independence or simply a scalable income stream, trading automation can play a key role.
Start with:
Tracking your expenses and goals
Building stable, automated income streams
Reinvesting profits into development and diversification
Automation gives you one priceless resource: time — time to refine, test, and grow your ideas into scalable business models.
