Fifteen years of one-minute Nasdaq futures data. One change at a time, tuned on old years and checked on years the tuning never saw, with costs stress-tested.
Account protection
Fixed dollar risk per trade with fees included, a two-loss daily stop, per-firm contract caps and a hard flatten before each firm's daily cutoff.

We do not hide the strategies that are not ready. Each one shows where it stands, how it trades and what we are testing next.
- LiveRunning on accounts now, with rules that keep being refined.
- TestingPassed a first round of backtests. Being re-tested before it goes live.
- ResearchRules are being rebuilt or reconciled. Not running on accounts.
Open Drive
Trades the first clean break of the New York opening range, in the direction the market chooses.
- Market
- Nasdaq-100 futures (MNQ micros on accounts, NQ for research)
- Session
- New York open, entries 9:45 AM to 12:00 PM ET
- Risk
- Fixed dollar risk per trade, sized on micro contracts with fees included. One trade a day. The stop is known before the order is placed.
Open Drive Retest
Waits for the opening range break, then enters on the first pullback into the price gap the break leaves behind.
- Market
- Nasdaq-100 futures (MNQ micros on accounts, NQ for research)
- Session
- New York morning, no new entries after 12:00 PM ET
- Risk
- Fixed dollar risk per trade on micro contracts. The day stops after two wins, two losses or one of each. A losing gap is never traded again.
Key Open: Rejection
Looks for a sharp rejection right after one of the six key session opens, then enters on the pullback.
- Market
- Nasdaq-100 futures (MNQ micros)
- Session
- Six key opens: 6 PM and 10 PM (Asia), 2 AM and 6 AM (London), 10 AM and 2 PM (New York), all ET
- Risk
- Tight stops, so position size is capped by each prop firm's contract limits. Fixed dollar risk per trade.
Key Open: Retest
After price moves hard away from a key open, waits for it to come back and retest the opening price.
- Market
- Nasdaq-100 futures (MNQ micros)
- Session
- Six key opens across Asia, London and New York (ET)
- Risk
- One position at a time with Reversion. Fixed dollar risk per trade. Skips any setup whose stop is too wide to size safely.
Reversion
Fades a liquidity grab: after price runs an obvious high or low and fails, it trades back the other way.
- Market
- Nasdaq-100 futures (MNQ micros)
- Session
- London 2:00 to 5:00 AM ET and New York 9:30 to 11:00 AM ET
- Risk
- Fixed dollar risk per trade on micro contracts. Never runs at the same time as Key Open: Retest.
Breakaway
Built for trend days: trades a decisive break past the prior day's range and rides the extension.
- Market
- Nasdaq-100 futures (MNQ micros)
- Session
- New York, 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM ET, flat by 2:55 PM
- Risk
- Risk per trade is set from the strategy's average stop so a typical stop fits a 50K account. No fixed dollar cap.
Rotation
Built for quiet, range-bound days: trades from one zone of the prior day's range to the other.
- Market
- Nasdaq-100 futures (MNQ micros on accounts, NQ for research)
- Session
- Hourly signals, flat before each prop firm's daily cutoff
- Risk
- Fixed dollar risk per trade. Must be flat before each firm's cutoff, so no overnight holds.
What we changed, and why.
We keep tuning. Every rule change is dated and explained, strategy by strategy.
- Open Drive Retest
Two baseline versions: the 5-minute gap the break leaves, and a 1-minute gap inside the opening range. New York only, no new entries after 12:00 PM ET.
WhyThe teaching source and the owner's own version differ. The rule is to test both and let the results decide.
- Key Open: Rejection
All six key opens approved (two per session). Pullback levels anchored on the 1-minute key-open candle. Checklist tested off and at minimum scores 1, 2 and 3.
WhyThese setups move fast, so a 5-minute retest often never comes. The old test only covered the New York opens.
- Open Drive
Target set to a fixed 2 to 1. Breakeven at 1R, half off at 2R, and the rest split between a next target and a runner to the session high or low.
WhyMatches how the strategy is traded by hand. The old target was taken from a course PDF.
- Open Drive
Break now measured on a 5-minute close on any chart. Stop buffers of 2 and 7 points, and 30% and 40% stops, added as test versions.
WhyOn 1- or 3-minute charts the old code used the wrong candle. Whichever stop tests worse gets dropped.
- Key Open: Retest
All six key opens approved. Trigger moved to a 1-minute close beyond the open. Three cancel rules will be compared.
WhyMatches the source trades. The old trigger used the wick and could fill instantly on the trigger candle.
A good fit, and a bad one.

What is Lattice Nine?
NutriCove's quantitative futures trading program: seven rule-based strategies on Nasdaq-100 futures, researched on years of market data and run on prop firm accounts through copy trading. It started life as VaultEdge.
Do I need to know how to trade?
No. The strategies place the trades. You open the accounts and decide when to cash out. Every member also gets Money Tree School, so you understand what the strategies are doing and why.
Is my own money at risk?
On prop firm accounts you trade the firm's simulated capital, so what you can lose is what you pay: account fees, activation fees, resets and the subscription. Accounts can and do fail. Trading futures in a personal brokerage account carries substantial risk of loss, including more than you deposit.
Do you guarantee that I will pass evaluations or get payouts?
No. Nobody can. Strategies have losing days, weeks and months, and accounts can be lost. We publish what we test, what we change and why, so you can judge for yourself.
Why do the strategies keep changing?
Because we keep testing them. Each strategy has a public change log that says what changed, when and why. Strategies move between Research, Testing and Live as the evidence comes in.
Can I see performance?
Public pages never show profit numbers. Members see the backtest summaries for every tested strategy, the ones that failed as well as the ones that passed, with test dates and the required hypothetical performance disclosure.
Do you take a share of my payouts?
No. Lattice Nine is a flat subscription. Prop firms keep their own split, usually 10% after your first payouts.
Which prop firms are supported?
Firms that allow automated trading and copy trading on futures, such as Lucid Trading, Top One Futures, Bulenox and Topstep. We confirm each firm's current rules with you during onboarding, because firms change them often.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time on the monthly plan. We disconnect your accounts and you keep them.
Is this investment advice?
No. Lattice Nine is software and education. Nothing on these pages is a recommendation to buy or sell any futures contract.

Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. You can lose all of the money you pay for prop firm accounts, fees and subscriptions, and in a personal brokerage account you can lose more than you deposit. Past performance, backtested or live, is not indicative of future results. Lattice Nine is software and education from NutriCove. It is not investment advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell any futures contract, and not a guarantee of passing any evaluation or receiving any payout. NutriCove is not a registered commodity trading advisor or broker.
