Question 1

What is OpenFlow Automation?

Accepted Answer

OpenFlow Automation is a plug-and-play trading automation system that executes the OpenFlow rule-based strategy on your connected trading account. It handles entries, exits, and risk controls according to predefined rules, so execution stays consistent.

Question 2

Does the bot guarantee profits?

Accepted Answer

No. No trading system, automated or manual, can guarantee profits. Trading involves substantial risk and you can lose money, including your entire account balance. OpenFlow Automation is an execution tool — it does not remove market risk.

Question 3

What platforms are supported?

Accepted Answer

Platform compatibility is confirmed during onboarding — we verify your platform and account type before anything goes live. Connecting through Topstep requires an active Topstep API subscription ($29/month, charged by Topstep).

Question 4

Do I need anything else to use OpenFlow Automation with Topstep?

Accepted Answer

Yes. To connect OpenFlow Automation to a Topstep account, you need an active Topstep API subscription. Topstep currently charges $29/month for API access. This is a separate third-party charge paid to Topstep and is not included in your OpenFlow Automation subscription.

Question 5

Do I need trading experience?

Accepted Answer

You should understand basic trading and risk concepts before using any automation. OpenFlow includes setup materials and education, but the automation is designed for traders who understand what they are trading and the risk involved.

Question 6

How much trading capital do I need?

Accepted Answer

Capital requirements depend on your account type, platform, and the risk settings you choose. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose. We discuss appropriate sizing during onboarding.

Question 7

Can I change the risk settings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Risk per trade, maximum daily loss, and maximum daily trades are configurable within approved ranges. You are responsible for the settings you choose.

Question 8

Does the bot run all day?

Accepted Answer

No. OpenFlow Automation trades only during its approved session window and shuts down automatically when the session ends or when a daily risk limit is reached.

Question 9

Do I need to keep my computer on?

Accepted Answer

Hosting requirements depend on your setup. Some configurations run on a VPS or cloud environment so your personal computer does not need to stay on. We cover hosting options during setup.

Question 10

Is setup included?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both Automation options ($250/mo member and $500/mo standalone) include setup resources, software updates, and support. OpenFlow Inner Circle members also get access to private training content and live sessions where setup and strategy questions are covered.

Question 11

What is the difference between OpenFlow LIVE and the Inner Circle?

Accepted Answer

OpenFlow LIVE is the entry-level membership: live trading Monday–Friday, daily trade recaps, trading tools and indicators, coaching help, and Discord community access. The OpenFlow Inner Circle is the complete experience — a one-time $1,250 for lifetime access to everything in LIVE plus full strategy and model education, private training content, mentorship, member-only resources, and member Automation pricing.

Question 12

How does OpenFlow member pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Joining the OpenFlow Inner Circle is a one-time payment of $1,250 and includes live trading Monday–Friday, full strategy education, private training content, mentorship, and community access — for life. Active Inner Circle members unlock Automation for $250/month — 50% off the standard $500/month standalone rate. The member rate is available exclusively to existing Inner Circle members.

Question 13

Can I use a prop-firm account?

Accepted Answer

Many members run OpenFlow on prop-firm accounts. You are responsible for verifying that automation is permitted under your specific prop firm's rules before connecting an account.

Question 14

What happens if I lose internet connection?

Accepted Answer

Software and connectivity can fail. Depending on your hosting setup, safeguards such as server-side risk limits may help, but outages, delays, and errors are possible. This is part of the risk of using any trading software.

Question 15

Can I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Subscriptions can be cancelled any time from your billing portal, and access continues through the end of the paid period. See the Refund Policy for details.

Question 16

Is OpenFlow financial advice?

Accepted Answer

No. OpenFlow provides software, education, and community resources only. OpenFlow is not a broker, investment adviser, or fiduciary, and nothing on this site is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.
