AI-Powered Signals for EdgeMax

Learn. Update. Trade.

Three steps, all automatic. You focus on the trade — Riptide handles the AI.

1
LEARN
BWT's proprietary AI model trains continuously on years of futures market data. It studies price structure, session dynamics, and market context — then builds a directional model that reflects how the market has actually been behaving. Not how it behaved a decade ago.
Continuously trained · Multi-instrument · No look-ahead
2
UPDATE
Each week, a fresh AI model syncs to your NinjaTrader install automatically — in the background, while you sleep. The model is what refreshes weekly; Riptide still fires buy, sell, or no-trade signals on every closed 1-minute bar throughout the trading day. If you're offline, your last model keeps running.
Weekly model refresh · Signals fire every bar · Offline fallback
3
TRADE
Every time a 1-minute bar closes, Riptide analyzes market context, runs it through the current AI model, and outputs a buy, sell, or no-trade signal — directly into EdgeMax's execution engine, or as arrows on your standalone chart.

Most trading indicators use the same rules forever.
Riptide's AI retrains every week — so its model adapts
as the market adapts. That's not an indicator. That's an edge.

Everything You Need. Nothing to Configure.

Riptide was built for traders, not data scientists. You get the signal. BWT handles the AI.

🧠
Proprietary AI Model
BWT's machine learning model is trained exclusively on futures data — not generic stock market history. It understands futures market structure, session behavior, and the price dynamics of each supported instrument specifically.
🔄
Walk-Forward Validated
The AI is never trained on data it hasn't "seen yet" at each point in history. Backtests are honest — each historical bar uses only the model that existed at that date. What you see in replay is what you'd have seen live.
☁️
Weekly Cloud Updates
New AI models sync to your NinjaTrader install in the background every week. You never retrain, reinstall, or reconfigure anything. The system stays current without any action on your part.
Structural Confirmation Filter
An optional filter overlays each signal, suppressing trades when price structure doesn't align with the AI's directional call. Fewer signals — but higher conviction. Toggle it on or off per your trading style.
📊
Standalone + EdgeMax Modes
Use Riptide as a standalone chart indicator to see AI buy/sell arrows on your chart — no strategy required. Or enable it as an EdgeMax entry module to wire signals directly into the full execution engine with brackets, stops, and targets.
📴
Offline Fallback
Models are cached locally. If your internet connection drops during a session, Riptide keeps running on the last synced model — no interruptions, no crashes, no signal gaps.

Trade More. Or Trade Better.

Riptide offers three signal modes — same AI, different conviction thresholds. Choose the mode that fits your style.

Signal Mode
ACTIVE
The AI fires on every high-confidence directional read. More opportunities, more participation. Best for traders who want maximum signal frequency and are comfortable managing a higher-activity strategy.
Higher frequency · Maximum participation
Signal Mode
SELECTIVE
A confidence filter is layered on top of the AI — only the highest-conviction calls make it through. Fewer trades, but the model is only betting when it believes in the read most strongly.
Fewer signals · Confidence filtered
Signal Mode
CONFIRMED
Requires agreement across multiple AI outputs before a signal fires. The model must read direction consistently from different analytical angles. Lowest frequency, highest conviction. Pairs naturally with the structural confirmation filter.
Multi-factor · Highest conviction

Built for EdgeMax Traders.

If you're already running EdgeMax and want AI to handle the direction call, Riptide is a single toggle away.

The Discretionary Trader
A Second Opinion
You have your own read. Riptide gives you a machine's read alongside it. Use it as confirmation, a filter, or a counter-signal check. The arrows appear on your chart — agree or disagree on every bar.
The Algo Trader
Direction on Autopilot
You trust EdgeMax with execution. Now let Riptide handle direction. Enable the EdgeMax module, choose a signal mode, and the AI feeds entry signals directly into your existing brackets and risk rules.
The Performance Lab User
A New Signal to Compare
Already tracking metrics in Performance Lab? Add Riptide as a signal source and let the data tell you whether the AI improves your numbers. Walk-forward validated signals mean the comparison is apples-to-apples.
The Passive Subscriber
Set It and Leave It
You don't want to manage model retraining, indicator updates, or settings. Riptide syncs weekly in the background. Add it to your NinjaTrader install, pick a signal mode, and it runs — every session, without maintenance.

Trading futures, forex, and other leveraged products involves substantial risk of loss and is not appropriate for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. BWT Riptide is an automated trading module — it does not guarantee profits or constitute trading advice. AI model performance in live markets may differ from validated historical performance; past model accuracy provides no assurance of future results. Walk-forward validation reduces but does not eliminate the risk of overfitting to historical market conditions. CFTC Rule 4.41: Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations, unlike an actual performance record, and do not represent actual trading results.
