What is Nebula

An evolving strategy factory — not another static EA.

Most retail EAs ship as a single fixed strategy, curve-fit to history and brittle the moment market regime shifts. Nebula is the engine that builds new ones — continuously breeding, mutating and stress-testing strategy genomes until only the survivors are deployed.

You don't buy an EA. You buy the machine that builds them.

Every Nebula run produces a fresh generation of strategies tailored to the instrument, timeframe and risk profile you set. The winners convert directly into MetaTrader Expert Advisors you can run on any broker.

Genetic lineage

This is the machine. Watch it breed.

The family tree below isn't a diagram — it's a live Nebula screen. Strategy schools branch out of the gene pool into entry families, and every genome inherits proven edge from the lineage before it. This is what "you buy the machine that builds them" actually looks like.

How it works

Configure once. Nebula does the rest.

Four steps from blank dashboard to a deployable EA on your live MT4 / MT5 terminal.

1

Configure

Pick the instrument, timeframe, direction bias and risk profile. Add prop-firm rules if you're chasing a payout.

2

Breed

The genetic engine generates and evolves thousands of strategy genomes — mutation, crossover and hybridisation included.

3

Stress-test

Survivors face walk-forward, out-of-sample and anti-overfitting filters. Weak performers are blacklisted permanently.

4

Deploy

One click compiles each winning genome into a ready-to-run .ex4 / .ex5 file for your broker's MetaTrader terminal.

Skip the build phase. Run the engine that builds for you.

Start free, upgrade any time. Free → Starter → Pro → Ultimate, with 3-month to lifetime licences.

Walk-forward proof

No genome ships unproven.

Every survivor is scored across three windows it was never bred on — in-sample, out-of-sample and a blind forward test — before you ever generate the EA. The genome below: +27% net on a 1.49 profit factor and a 2.33 Sharpe, with drawdown held under 4%. Curve-fits don't survive the blind segment.

Core capabilities

Institutional-grade tools, retail-friendly workflow.

The same techniques quant desks rely on — packaged into a single dashboard you control.

Genetic Evolution

Block-based genomes mutate and crossover across generations. Winners breed; losers vanish. The library learns.

Walk-Forward Validation

Every survivor is retested on unseen data the engine never saw during breeding. No curve-fit gets through.

Anti-Overfitting Guard

Monoculture reset, blacklist memory and constellation diversity prevent the engine from converging on lucky noise.

Constellation Diversity

Genomes are bred in parallel constellations so the engine explores many edges at once rather than collapsing onto one.

Portfolio Probability Engine

Run multiple genomes as one shared account — covariance-weighted sizing, a diversification grade and joint drawdown bands show how the whole book really behaves together.

Prop-Firm Mode

Hard daily-loss and total-drawdown caps wired into every generated EA. Pass the eval, keep the payout.

Institutional Memory

Every test is logged by pair and timeframe. The engine never wastes cycles re-testing what it already proved.

Strategy Hybridisation

Top performers cross-pollinate. New genomes inherit edge from multiple parents, compounding what already works.

One-Click Deployment

Approved genomes compile straight to .ex4 / .ex5. Drop them into your terminal — no MQL knowledge required.

Forward-Confidence Grading

Every strategy is graded on four pillars — edge, overfitting, stability and sample size. The score is capped by the weakest, so a lucky backtest can't inflate it.

Community Genome Bank

Browse strategies shared by other Nebula traders, import the ones you like, and publish your own to a curated community library.

Collection & Workspace

File your genomes into folders, favourite the best, and grade a whole selection at once with a single Confidence Check.

Meet Orion — drive the whole engine, hands-free.

Orion is the assistant built into Nebula. Talk to it, or message it on Telegram, and it runs your checks, reads the results back to you and handles the busywork — so you can work hands-free instead of clicking through menus. It runs entirely on your own machine and only ever does what you ask it to.

Voice or Telegram

Speak to Orion with push-to-talk, or message its Telegram bot from your phone. It listens, acts, and replies out loud.

It runs the checks

Ask it to grade your newest genomes or run a parity check — Orion does the work itself and reads back the real numbers.

Reports from anywhere

Away from your desk? Orion pings you when a run finishes and — if you allow it — can sleep or lock your PC once the work is done.

Always on your terms

Every action is opt-in. Orion only touches your software or hardware when you tell it to, and nothing leaves your computer.

Pro & Ultimate

Voice control, Telegram and remote actions are included with the Pro and Ultimate tiers.

Crown feature · Ultimate

Mission Control — your portfolio, managed automatically.

Build a portfolio, deploy it once, and hand the keys to Mission Control. Every system in your book is re-evolved on fresh market data and hot-swapped the moment a stronger genome proves itself — so you're always trading the most up-to-date systems without touching a thing.

1

Build your book

Assemble your best genomes into a portfolio and deploy it as a single EA. From that moment, Mission Control takes over.

2

Managed automatically

On your schedule — weekly to yearly — Nebula re-breeds every system in the book on the newest market data and runs the full validation gauntlet again.

3

Only upgrades get in

Challenger vs incumbent, side by side: equity, drawdown, trade quality. A swap only happens when the new genome is provably stronger.

4

Always current, zero effort

The stronger genome is hot-swapped into the same EA file your terminal is already running. No downtime, no reinstall — nothing for you to do.

Ultimate exclusive

Mission Control and Auto-Refresh Evolution are included with the Ultimate tier.

Who it's for

One engine, three workflows.

Whether you're trading personal capital, chasing a prop payout, or running a multi-strategy book — Nebula adapts.

New Test · Risk & Limits

Prop-firm guardrails

The rules are wired in, not bolted on.

Set account size, per-trade risk and hard drawdown caps before a single genome is bred — or drop in a prop-firm preset and let Nebula enforce it. Every EA it generates obeys the same circuit-breakers, so the eval rules you trade under are the exact rules the engine optimised against.

Frequently asked

The honest answers.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Nebula handles strategy generation and EA compilation end-to-end. You'll never touch MQL4 or MQL5 unless you want to.

Will Nebula work with my broker?

If your broker offers MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5, yes. Nebula generates standard Expert Advisor files that drop into the terminal exactly like any other EA — and it automatically finds the MetaTrader terminals on your machine, whether they're standard, broker-branded or portable prop-firm builds (FTMO, OANDA, FundedNext and the rest).

Does Nebula run on Mac?

Yes. Nebula ships native builds for Windows and macOS — both Intel and Apple Silicon. Everything installs and runs locally on your own machine, with no cloud subscription.

What is Orion, and do I have to use it?

Orion is the assistant built into Nebula. You can run the whole app the usual way and never touch it. If you'd rather work hands-free, you can talk to Orion or message it on Telegram to run checks and hear the results read back — and, if you allow it, have it tidy up your machine when a run finishes. Voice, Telegram and remote actions are included with Pro and Ultimate, and everything Orion does is opt-in.

Can I share or use other traders' strategies?

Yes. The community Genome Bank lets you browse strategies shared by other Nebula traders. Pro and Ultimate members can import them into their own vault and publish their own genomes back to the library. It's a curated collection that updates over time — not a live free-for-all.

How long until I have a deployable strategy?

A typical configure-to-deploy cycle takes hours, not weeks. The engine runs unattended; you come back to a ranked list of survivors that have already cleared walk-forward testing.

Is past performance a guarantee of future results?

No. Trading carries substantial risk and you can lose more than your deposit on leveraged accounts. Nebula's walk-forward and anti-overfitting filters reduce — but cannot eliminate — the risk of strategy decay. Please read the full risk disclosure below.

How does Nebula work with prop firms?

Every generated EA can be bound to hard daily-loss and total-drawdown caps that match the rules of major firms (FTMO, MFF, The Funded Trader, FundedNext, and more). The EA stops opening new positions the moment a limit is reached.

Can I edit the strategies the engine produces?

You don't edit the MQL code directly — you adjust the configuration, risk and constraints, then re-breed. This keeps every strategy in your library reproducible and auditable.

How is this different from buying a prebuilt EA?

A prebuilt EA is one fixed strategy. When market conditions change, it dies. Nebula is the breeding engine: you own the ability to generate fresh strategies on demand, tuned to whatever instrument and conditions matter to you today.

What kind of support is included?

Nebula Ultimate members receive priority, direct support from the creator plus private onboarding. Nebula Pro includes documentation, video walkthroughs and community support in the Orion RFX Discord.

Can I get a refund if it's not for me?

Refund terms are governed by the Orion RFX refund policy. Book a discovery call first if you're unsure — it's the fastest way to confirm Nebula fits your trading.
