Started propfirmpinescripts.com a while back selling pine script strategies for futures prop firm traders. Figured I would share some of what worked and what has not.
The problem I was solving
I was actually trading on Apex myself and kept running into the same thing. Every pine script strategy I found online was not built for prop firm rules. Daily loss limits not enforced in code. No end of day flatten. Blew an evaluation partly because of it.
Figured other traders had the same problem. Coded the rules myself, then decided to sell the scripts.
What I built
Pre-built pine scripts for 4 instruments: GC (gold futures), MES (micro S&P), MNQ (micro Nasdaq), CL (crude oil). Each one has daily loss lock, EOD flatten, win lock coded in. You can configure the limits for different firms without touching the core logic.
Priced at $50 for a single script or $150 for all 4.
What actually moved conversions
Adding real payout screenshots. Like actual Apex payout certificates from traders who passed using the strategies. Before I did that — traffic but weak conversions. After — noticeably better.
Prop firm traders do not trust backtest results at all anymore. Too many people have gamed them. A real funded account payout is the only thing that actually means something to them.
Where things are at
Still early. Revenue is real but small. Building more SEO content, getting into prop firm communities, and eventually a subscription tier for updates when firms change their rules.
If you are a dev with trading knowledge this space is underbuilt.
