Hypothesis

Methodology
Five gates between an idea and your capital.
No strategy reaches a live account until every gate is green. The same gauntlet re-runs when you tune one to your own parameters.
02
Backtest
Point-in-time data across price, macro, on-chain, and sentiment. Slippage, funding, and fees modelled in.
03
Walk-forward
Out-of-sample windows reserved before parameter selection. Robustness across folds, not one lucky curve.
04
Monte-Carlo
Fills, slippage, and trade ordering stressed across thousands of resampled paths to bound the estimate.
05
Paper, then live
Live ticks without real orders first. Capital follows only after the paper record agrees with the research.
The platform
An institutional desk, run from one dashboard.
Research, validation, execution, and risk in one system — with live P&L streamed over WebSocket and the same numbers your accountant will see.
I.
Honest backtesting
Walk-forward and Monte-Carlo validation with realistic slippage and venue fees. Out-of-sample windows are reserved before parameters are chosen, and a market-impact model degrades edge as capital scales. Strategies that fail out-of-sample are retired, not re-tuned until they pass.
Backtest history availableup to 9 yrs
II.
Trading & hedging accounts
Run directional strategies from the library, or protect a spot stack: the EMA-band hedge holds BTC above the daily trend and rotates to USDT below it, managing your whole balance at deposit cost basis. Idle USDT is parked in Binance Simple Earn so sidelined cash still earns.

III.
Risk controls that fire
Per-account daily-loss caps, position-concentration limits, and a drawdown kill-switch — enforced pre-trade, with no discretionary override. Every order, fill, and parameter change lands in an append-only audit ledger, timestamped and exportable.

Strategy library
The current book, in one table.
Each strategy ships with documented logic and tunable parameters. Per-strategy statistics render inside the app against your own data window — not as marketing numbers.

Custody & controls
Your keys, your funds, your audit trail.
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. Keys are sealed with KMS-backed encryption before they leave your browser; only the trading workers can decrypt, at order-placement time.
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.
“We publish drawdowns next to returns, label every illustrative figure as illustrative, and retire strategies that fail out-of-sample. If a number on this site isn’t a real backtest, it says so — and nothing here is a promise of future performance.”
