Download from this website only. Clara Core is distributed exclusively through clarasystems.io. Anyone can put our name on a file, and a copy from anywhere else can be altered or carry malware regardless of what it is called. The locked file protects the strategy logic; we cannot vouch for a copy that never came from us. If it did not come from this site, do not run it.
We use your email to send the download link, the annual strategy update, and a heads-up when something new releases. Nothing else. We never sell your address.
How updates work: each release runs for one year, then stops trading and points you to the current version, always a free re-download. Beyond that, at most one corrected version ships per cycle, before year end, and only if something actually needs work, announced through our channels. We monitor live behavior against the code logic every trading day, so watching for code problems is our job, not yours. Full details in the FAQ.
Everything from import to the daily routine is in the guide: installation, the platform settings worth setting once, connecting accounts, the daily startup routine, skip days, what to do if your connection drops, and how to reproduce our published backtest yourself.

The files are provided exactly as exported: raw CSV, unformatted on purpose. Original form is what makes them verifiable; open them in Excel, Google Sheets, or any analysis tool and run the numbers yourself. 2 quirks worth knowing before you audit. The instrument column shows the contract selected at export time (MNQ 09-26) on every row, including historical ones; that is how NinjaTrader labels exports, not an error. And NinjaTrader's historical data, as of the July 2026 export, has a bar gap on the afternoon of April 5, 2023, so the one trade open that day carries an evening exit stamp, in our logs and in any backtest you run yourself. Both are left untouched: original form is the point.
FastPass is a free, hedge-based tool for passing prop firm evaluations quickly. It is separate from Clara Core. It is a free tool, currently in testing, and not yet available for download. We will publish it here once testing is complete, on the same standard as everything else: tested first, released second. Its instruction guide is already published: read it online or download the PDF. Read it before you consider using the tool.
When it is released, understand this up front: FastPass is high-risk by design. It hedges two accounts against each other, and in choppy or reversing markets it can hit trailing drawdown on both and fail. It is for evaluation accounts only, never funded accounts or daily trading.
How to use it safely: run it on two simulation accounts first, for as long as you need to watch the execution live, before using it on any paid evaluation attempt. The tool itself costs nothing; the evaluation fee is the only money at stake. FastPass fires once, at the time you set (the New York open is the classic play), and depends on that moment going smoothly, so be at your computer when it runs. An internet drop, a platform outage, or a broker connection issue at the wrong second can leave one side unhedged. Bigger moves also bring worse slippage, which nothing can account for in advance; the sim run is how you see it for real. Always verify what your prop firm permits before using any automated tool: at the time of writing (July 2026), Apex and Bulenox permitted this approach on evaluations, and rules change without notice. If a firm changes its rules on this, we pull the tool and say so on our channels.
Clara Systems accepts no responsibility for prop firm rule violations, account losses, or any outcome resulting from use of this tool. Use at your own risk.
