Getting started

Do I need trading experience to use this?
You don't need to know how to read charts. For Path A (Standalone), you need to handle: opening a prop firm account, applying the strategy to your TradingView chart, and placing trades manually when alerts fire. For Path B (Full automation), you additionally connect a TradersPost or PineConnector webhook. Combined setup time: ~15 min for Path A, ~60–90 min for Path B the first time.
Which brokers does this work with?
Path A works with every broker and every prop firm — manual trading is universally permitted. Path B requires a broker whose backend is Tradovate, ProjectX, MT4, or MT5. That covers Apex, Lucid Trading, Tradeify, MyFundedFutures, Topstep, FundedNext, The Funded Trader, FTMO, and dozens of others. Always verify your firm permits automated execution before going live with Path B.
Does the strategy run 24/7?
Path B (Full automation): yes. The bridge and your broker run during their respective market hours; the strategy fires whenever a signal triggers. Path A (Standalone): no — you need to be available when alerts fire. Most customers run Path A during their active hours and Path B for overnight strategies.
What about Path A vs Path B costs?
Path A (manual alerts from TradingView): ~$15/mo for the TradingView Essential plan, that's it. Path B (full automation): ~$65–80/mo total — TradingView Essential + TradersPost (Futures) or PineConnector (Forex/CFD). Most users start with Path A and upgrade to Path B once they're comfortable with the strategies.
How long until I get access?
Access is granted manually via TradingView invite, typically within 24–48 hours of purchase. You will also receive a separate email with your access key — one key per instrument, pasted into the script settings. Until the key is entered the script sits paused with an orange exclamation mark on the chart; that is expected, not an error.

Verification & methodology

How can I verify the backtests are real?
Every strategy includes raw TradingView trade list exports available on request. You can also run Strategy Tester on your own TradingView account after purchase and reproduce the exact same Performance Summary you see on the strategy pages. Native TV screenshots with watermark are the strongest verification possible — not just our claim, your replication.
What do MED P50 and BEST P90 mean?
Percentiles from 1,500 Monte Carlo paths. P50 (Median) is the median — 50% of simulated paths perform better, 50% worse. P90 (Best) is the 90th percentile (top 10% of paths). P10 (Worst) is the 10th percentile (bottom 10%). The most likely single outcome is around P50. See the full methodology page for details.
Are the strategies free of look-ahead bias?
Yes. All signals are based on candle close + confirmed indicators (no repainting). Every strategy has an explicit rule set in its description — auditable directly on TradingView.
How often is the Monte Carlo model updated?
The Monte Carlo model is refreshed monthly with the latest 12-month data window. Strategy code updates ship when (a) we detect a regime shift requiring parameter tuning, (b) prop firm rules change materially, or (c) optimization lifts expected value above the threshold of statistical significance. All updates are included — no extra cost.

Prop firms & sizing

What if my prop firm changes its rules?

Drop one account-tier preset on your chart and keep trading. The sizing model is calibrated for EOD-trailing prop firms by default; if your firm tightens rules (switches to real-time trailing, drops daily limit, adds news windows), use the next-smaller preset (e.g. 100K real-time trailing → use the 50K preset). No path change, no firm change, no setup rework. Path A (manual) always works as a fallback regardless of rules.

Worth knowing in advance: at several firms the rules differ between the evaluation and the funded account — TakeProfitTrader moves from end-of-day to intraday trailing once funded, and Apex applies a consistency requirement at payout that isn't there during the evaluation. We cover which rules change at which firm in rules that change after you pass.

Which prop firms are compatible?

All major firms. EOD-trailing (best fit): Apex Trader Funding, MyFundedFutures, Topstep (selected products), Tradeify, Lucid Trading. Real-time trailing (use smaller preset): Topstep Express, Earn2Trade, FundedNext Express. Static drawdown (safe with baseline preset): FTMO, The Funded Trader, FundingPips.

Two notes worth checking against your own account. Apex currently runs two consistency thresholds in parallel — accounts opened from March 1, 2026 fall under one set of terms, legacy accounts under another — so confirm which applies to yours. And at some firms the drawdown model differs between the evaluation and the funded account, which changes the preset you should be on. See the “Which prop firms?” section on the home page.

What is the SAFE blow threshold?
15% annualized account blow rate. After the August 2026 refresh (which prices commission and slippage into every figure) no published portfolio exceeds 1%. The highest is 100K-Growth at 0.64%, the Growth variants cluster at 0.5–0.6%, and two portfolios show 0.0% across the full simulation: Forex Prop Champion and Forex Prop Focus.

The pattern holds across account sizes: Growth portfolios carry the highest blow rate in each tier — the price of a faster path to payout — while Balanced and Precision sit at or below 0.4%. Each portfolio’s Blow/y value is published on its detail page — the number is part of the spec, not a footnote.

License, refund, taxes

What is the refund policy?
14-day money-back guarantee from the day your access is granted with two paths:

(a) Unused refund. If you haven't added the TradingView scripts to your charts within 14 days of your access being granted, full refund, no questions asked. Email support@puravidaedge.com.

(b) Action-based refund. If you set up the strategies as documented, ran them on a demo or live account for at least 7 days, and provide trade-list evidence that the strategy behaved differently from the published backtest, we honor the refund. Submit the trade-list with the refund request.

After 14 days no refunds are available. For installment plans, the same rule applies: the 14-day money-back window runs from the day your access is granted. Use of a larger preset than recommended for your firm's drawdown model (e.g. full 100K preset on a 100K real-time-trailing firm) is not covered by the refund.
Can I resell or share the strategies?
No. TradingView invite-only access is tied to your TV username. License is for personal use only. Resale, sharing, reverse engineering, or republishing of Pine Script code is prohibited under the Terms of Service. We track this actively.
What about taxes?
Dodo Payments (our payment processor) handles VAT/sales tax on their end and provides invoices automatically. Your taxes on trading profits are your responsibility under your local jurisdiction.
What happens after Founders pricing ends?
Founders pricing runs until August 31, 2026. After that date, prices return to standard and the Founders discount is not reissued. Anyone who buys during the Founders window keeps their price, including access to strategies added later at no extra cost.

Account & portfolios

What is Trade-WR vs Day-WR on portfolios?

Trade-WR = trade-level win rate from TradingView Strategy Tester, weighted across the strategies in a portfolio by trade count. Futures portfolios blend two strategies, Forex portfolios blend four. Shown on portfolio cards as the headline WR.

Day-WR = percent of calendar trading days that end profitable on the joint equity. More relevant to daily-loss-limit-based prop firm rules. Shown in the risk disclosure section of each portfolio detail page.

Why are Futures portfolios pairs (MNQ + MGC) and Forex Prop portfolios 4-strategy?

Futures positions net at the exchange, so two strategies on the same instrument can't hold opposite positions simultaneously — one closes or reduces the other, which means the second strategy doesn't get the trade it was supposed to take. Our Futures portfolios therefore pair MNQ + MGC, one strategy per instrument, so both always execute as tested.

Forex accounts commonly support hedging mode, where opposing positions on the same symbol can coexist, which allows four strategies to stack — cross NAS+XAU in Forex Prop Champion, pure XAU in Forex Prop Focus. Confirm hedging mode is permitted at your firm before running two strategies on one symbol; policies differ.

What is a joint portfolio?

Multiple uncorrelated strategies running simultaneously on the same prop firm account. Each strategy contributes its profit factor and win rate to the combined daily P&L stream; because losing days don't overlap between mean-reversion, breakout, sweep, and anchor logic, the joint distribution has higher expected return and lower variance than any single strategy alone.

A portfolio is a documented composition of strategies sized for one specific account type. See the Portfolios page for the full roster of twelve.

How many portfolios are there?

Twelve. Nine on futures — 50K, 100K and 150K accounts, each in Balanced, Growth and Precision variants — and three on forex swing accounts: Champion, Focus and Index. Each one is a documented composition of strategies sized for that specific account type, with its own published Monte Carlo profile.

Balanced portfolios prioritize survivability, Growth accepts more variance for a faster path to payout, and Precision trades less often with larger positions. The strategies themselves are what you get access to; the portfolios tell you how to combine them.

Can I run multiple portfolios in parallel?
Yes. You can run 50K-Balanced (MNQ + MGC on a futures prop account) alongside Forex Prop Champion (NAS and XAU on a forex prop account) at the same time — they are separate accounts with separate charts and alerts, and the strategies do not interact. The Ultimate tier includes access to all 12 portfolios.
Which account size should I start with?
Larger accounts carry a bigger drawdown budget, which gives a portfolio more room to absorb a bad stretch: 50K accounts work with roughly $2K of hard drawdown, 100K with $3K, 150K with $4.5K. Portfolios exist for all three — smaller tiers run tighter compositions, larger ones can carry more strategies at once. If you already trade a funded account, start with the size you have. If you are choosing from scratch, the middle tier is the usual starting point: enough drawdown room to be workable, without the cost of the largest evaluation.
