A self-serve trading & hedging desk you actually control.

Two ways to run

One account. Trade, or hedge.

Every account is either a Trading account or a Hedging account — and you can switch between them at any time. Incompatible strategies disable automatically and restore when you switch back.

Trading account

Run directional strategies.

Enable systematic strategies from the library on BTC, ETH and majors. Algorithmic or ML-gated. Per-account risk caps, position limits, and a drawdown kill-switch are armed before the first order.

Strategy libraryAlgo + ML-gated modesPer-account risk caps
Hedging account

Protect a spot stack.

Hold BTC through the bull, rotate to USDT when the daily trend breaks down. Manage your whole BTC balance at deposit cost basis, and park idle USDT in Binance Simple Earn so cash on the sidelines still earns. Switch an account between Trading and Hedging at any time.

How we operate

Discipline, in three movements.

Systematic discipline applied to every decision — research, construction, and execution — with your capital never leaving your own exchange.

I.

Research

Every strategy begins with a written thesis: which inefficiency it exploits, why it persists, and which regimes degrade it. Strategies that fail out-of-sample are retired, not tuned until they pass.

Point-in-time data feeds7
II.

Construction

Backtests use point-in-time data — price, macro, on-chain, sentiment — with realistic slippage, funding, and venue fees. Out-of-sample windows are reserved before parameter selection. Walk-forward and Monte-Carlo establish a confidence interval, not a single curve. A market-impact model degrades edge as capital scales.

Backtest history availableup to 9 yrs
III.

Execution

Strategies run on your own Binance account via scoped API keys with withdrawals disabled. Every order, fill, and parameter change is timestamped to our ledger and reconcilable against the venue.

Inputs

Signals, beyond the price tape.

Every strategy scores regime, conviction, and exhaustion against seven point-in-time external feeds — macro, market microstructure, on-chain flows, and sentiment. The candle is the smallest of them.

I.

Macro

FRED · ALFRED · ForexFactory

Real yields, DXY, VIX, M2, headline CPI, and the live econ calendar (FOMC, CPI, NFP, unemployment). Strategies size down ahead of named events and re-enter once realised vol re-anchors.

Series tracked32
II.

Market structure

Binance · CoinGecko

Funding rate, open interest, top-trader long-short, taker buy/sell volume, plus global market cap and BTC dominance. Conviction is a function of crowding and flow direction, not price alone.

Update cadence1 min
III.

On-chain & sentiment

CoinMetrics · DeFiLlama · alternative.me

Exchange netflow, active addresses, realised cap, stablecoin supply, chain TVL, and the Fear & Greed Index. Regime tags shift the strategy mix toward mean-reversion or trend depending on extremity.

Fear & Greed history> 6 yrs daily
Strategy library

Trading and hedging, side by side.

Each strategy ships with documented logic and tunable parameters. Enable the ones you trust, run them in paper first, then connect live. Per-strategy backtest stats render inside the app from your own data window.

LSR-V2

Long-Short Reversal v2

Trading · mean-reversion

Fades overextended candles on BTC & ETH.

TPSE

Buys pullbacks within an established trend; single take-profit.

XS-MOM

Cross-Sectional Momentum

Trading · long-short

Ranks a universe and trades the spread, long the strong / short the weak.

EMA-BAND

EMA-Band BTC Hedge

Hedging · spot

Holds BTC above the daily EMA band, rotates to USDT below it.

TILT

Dynamic BTC/USDT Tilt

Hedging · allocation

Leans the spot stack toward BTC or USDT with trend and volatility.

Risk & controls

Three guarantees we put in writing.

We never custody, we never co-mingle, and we never run a proprietary book against you. The same controls an institutional desk uses, applied to your own account.

01 — Custody

Capital remains with you.

Strategies trade through scoped Binance API keys with withdrawal permission explicitly denied. Funds never leave your exchange account, and the connection is reconciled against the venue.

02 — Limits

Pre-trade enforcement.

Per-account daily-loss caps, per-instrument concentration limits, and a portfolio drawdown kill-switch. A breach halts the strategy automatically — no discretionary override.

03 — Audit

Append-only ledger.

Every order, fill, cancel, and parameter change is timestamped to an append-only ledger and exportable. A complete, reproducible trace for any review.
