Configuring Zeus 1 of 8

Zeus Configuration

Answer each question to calibrate your futures bot

Step 1 — Trading Goal

What are you hoping to achieve with Zeus?

Futures move fast and can amplify gains — or losses. Knowing your goal helps Zeus trade with the right aggression level.

Short-Term Income

Generate regular returns week to week. Zeus actively trades setups as they appear.

Speculative Growth Higher Risk

Swing for larger gains using leverage. Bigger upside, bigger downside. Zeus goes more aggressive.

Portfolio Hedge

Use futures to protect an existing stock portfolio during market downturns. Zeus takes defensive positions.

Learning & Exploration

New to futures and want to see how it works with real money but low stakes. Zeus starts conservative.

Step 2 — Experience Level

Have you traded futures or leveraged products before?

Futures are more complex than stocks. Your experience level tells Zeus how carefully to manage positions on your behalf.

Complete Beginner

Never traded futures or any leveraged product. Zeus will use the smallest contracts (micro-futures) and maximum safety settings.

Some Experience

Familiar with how markets work but new to futures specifically. Zeus will be moderately active.

Experienced Trader

Comfortable with leverage and futures mechanics. Zeus can take full advantage of market opportunities.

Step 3 — Risk Comfort

How would you feel if your account dropped 30% in a rough week?

Futures can move quickly in both directions. Unlike stocks, a bad week can mean significant losses. Be honest — Zeus will protect you accordingly.

I'd want Zeus to stop trading immediately

Zeus uses the smallest positions, tightest safety limits, and pauses at the first sign of significant loss.

I'd be stressed but stay in

Zeus manages risk carefully but stays active. Drawdowns are expected and managed within set limits.

I understand the risk — keep going High Risk

Zeus stays active through volatility, prioritizing recovery and gains over caution.

Step 4 — Starting Capital

How much would you like to start with?

Futures can be traded with smaller amounts thanks to leverage — but only invest what you can afford to lose. Zeus will size positions based on your balance.

$

Minimum: $100  ·  Recommended for futures: $1,000+  ·  Only invest what you can afford to lose

Step 5 — Leverage

How much leverage should Zeus use?

Leverage lets you control a bigger position with less money. 2x means a $500 account acts like $1,000. Higher leverage = bigger gains AND bigger losses.

Low — 2x Leverage

Safest option. Small amplification of gains and losses. Best for beginners and conservative traders.

Medium — 5x Leverage

Standard for active futures traders. Meaningful gains possible, losses are manageable with good risk controls.

High — 10x Leverage High Risk

For experienced traders only. A 10% move against you wipes the position. Zeus will require strong signals before entering.

Step 6 — Trading Hours

When should Zeus be active?

Unlike stocks, futures trade almost around the clock. More hours means more opportunities — but also more exposure while you sleep.

Regular Hours Only

9:30 AM – 4:00 PM EST. Zeus only trades when the main US markets are open. Most predictable.

Extended Hours

6:00 AM – 8:00 PM EST. Captures pre-market and after-hours moves including earnings and economic reports.

24/5 — All Weekday Hours

Zeus trades around the clock Monday through Friday. Maximum opportunity, including overnight sessions and global market moves.

Step 7 — Profit Handling

What should Zeus do when your account grows?

Futures profits can come quickly. Decide whether to compound them back in or take them out regularly.

Reinvest

Compound profits back into Zeus automatically. Grows faster.

Withdraw Weekly

Receive earnings in your wallet every week.

Withdraw Monthly

Collect gains once a month.

I'll Decide Manually

Withdraw whenever you choose from your dashboard.

Step 8 — Trading Strategy

How should Zeus find and enter trades?

This sets the core logic Zeus uses to decide when to buy or sell. Don't worry — all three approaches are fully automated. Pick whichever feels right for you.

Follow the Trend

Zeus rides momentum. When the market is moving up it buys, when it's moving down it sells short. Works best in strong directional markets.

Buy the Dip

Zeus waits for pullbacks then enters when prices bounce back. More patient, fewer trades, but entries are often at better prices.

Let Zeus Decide — Recommended

Zeus uses both strategies and picks the right one based on current market conditions. Best for most users and maximizes opportunities across different environments.

Step 9 — Brokerage Connection
