Three core strategies: BASE, RUNNER and PDR. Clone all three into your own TradersPost account and point them at the same broker account. A fourth, EXTRA, is optional: clone it only if you want it, paste its webhook in Settings → Connections, then turn it on under Routes on Overview. Without it nothing changes. Every box explained: the TradersPost setup guide.

How to connect

1. A paid TradersPost plan with your own broker connected. Not TradersPost Paper. It refuses stop-loss orders, and GERBALGO will not send an entry without one, so nothing trades at all. A Tradovate demo works.
2. Futures enabled on that broker, or every order comes back “you do not have access to trade futures”.
3. Open all three clone links below (and EXTRA’s, if you use it). Each one copies the strategy into your account with its exits already set. Steps 4 to 7 are the only boxes you set yourself.
4. Point all three copies at the same broker account (and EXTRA, if you use it). BASE and RUNNER are two tranches of one ACC position; PDR and EXTRA are their own books and never run at the same time as ACC or each other.
5. Turn each copy to BOTH SIDES. TradersPost starts a new subscription Long Only, which silently refuses every short, which is half the book.
6. “Allow add to position”: ON for RUNNER, PDR, VIX, ASIA and GEX, OFF for BASE and EXTRA. BASE opens the position; RUNNER adds its lots to that same position a moment later, so with the box unticked TradersPost rejects the runner (“There is already an open position”). BASE stays off, which is the safety net that stops a duplicate entry doubling your size. EXTRA opens its own position and never runs alongside ACC or PDR, so it stays off like BASE. Leave “side swapping” OFF on all of them.
7. Turn “Allow signal override” ON in every copy, or TradersPost ignores the size we send.
8. Paste the webhook URLs in Settings → Connections: open Webhook 1 (Base), 2 (Runner), 3 (PDR) and, if you want them, 4 (EXTRA), 5 (VIX), 6 (ASIA) and 7 (GEX), then Save and Test each one. ES15 and NQ15 go on Setup 2 (Setup 1 = the New York books): on Setup 2, pick ES15 at the top of Connections (1 or 2 ES / NQ, minis, picked on the Dashboard) and opens Webhook 8 (ES15) and, if you want it, 9 (NQ15); PDR, VIX and EXTRA pair best with ES15/NQ15 (on ES15, EXTRA sends only its LOD and PML setups), while ACC and ZONE are New York only. Test all tells you which one failed, not just that something did. Without them your copies sit there and never trade.
9. Pick your size under Leverage on Your bot. On an Eval account, until your buffer reaches +$2,000 (50K; $4,000 on 100K, $6,000 on 150K) you are sent half of it. With no size picked you get the starter size, halved the same way.
10. Keep those webhooks private. Anyone holding one can place orders on your account. We only ever need them, never your broker login.
11. Instrument is MES and prices are on the ES scale, not SPY.
12. This places real orders and, once armed, trades without asking you first. Watch it on a demo account across several sessions before anything else.
13. Check your prop firm allows automation before connecting a funded account. Many do not, and some treat it as grounds for termination.

EXTRA (optional)

EXTRA is Gerb’s own pullback setup. It stays off until you turn it on, and BASE, RUNNER and PDR work exactly the same with or without it. It reads the 3-minute ES chart from 09:30. When a candle’s body covers the previous candle’s body and is bigger, that previous body becomes a zone. Once price pushes past the big candle’s wick, EXTRA rests a limit order a little way into the zone and buys (or sells) the first pullback.

• Zone. At least 1.75pt, and the covering body at least 0.25pt bigger.
• Push first. The wick has to break within 3 candles. A touch of the zone before that cancels it.
• Entry. A limit 1.75pt into the zone, on the first pullback after the push. A long zone of 4.5pt or more gets its limit in the middle of the zone instead.
• Room to run. At least 4pt to the day’s high (longs) or low (shorts).
• Stop. 1pt past the zone candle’s wick. Fixed: never moved, no breakeven.
• Target. The whole position exits at one target: +4pt on a zone under 2.5pt (and on those middle-of-the-zone longs), +7.5pt on a bigger one. A short zone of 4pt or more is not traded.
• Windows. EXTRA only trades 10:00 to 11:15 and 14:30 to 15:00 ET, the gaps ACC skips.
• Limits. Zones expire at the close, one shot per zone, one EXTRA trade at a time, no flip while an opposite zone is still waiting, and of two same-side zones within 5pt and 20 minutes only the deeper one trades. A limit that has not filled after 60 minutes is cancelled.

Size and risk. EXTRA sends your whole position (TP1 + runner) on one order, like PDR, halved on Eval accounts until your buffer is full. It counts toward your daily loss limit and the house loss stop. It never runs at the same time as ACC or PDR: an ACC or PDR signal cancels an EXTRA limit that is still waiting, and while an EXTRA trade is open they wait. Watch it on a demo account before turning it on anywhere real.

Sessions. BASE and RUNNER: 07:00 to 16:00 ET, except 10:00 to 11:30 and 14:30 to 15:00. PDR: 10:15 to 11:45 ET. EXTRA: 10:00 to 11:15 and 14:30 to 15:00 ET.

Naming. GERBALGO-BASE, GERBALGO-RUNNER, GERBALGO-PDR, and GERBALGO-EXTRA if you want it. The old GA-<account>-<tier>-<n> strategies are retired. If you cloned one before 2026-09-17, re-clone from the three links above. The old ones no longer receive signals.
