How it works

Where it runs

On your Windows or macOS computer. You create an API key on your exchange, enter it in the program's Settings, and the program places orders from your PC. The key is stored on your computer. Your PC has to stay on while it trades.

What it decides

Three quant strategies watch the symbols you select and open and add to positions by their rules. Default safeguards in V19.7: no new entries on symbols listed less than 90 days ago; after 3 new entries on the same symbol and side within 24 hours, new entries are blocked until 48 hours after the first (adding to an open position is not counted); and a delisting filter. There is no stop-loss by default; an optional 60% hard stop can be switched on.

How I get paid

The program is free: no subscription, no license key, no paid tier.

Where the exchange runs a broker program, it shares part of the trading fee you already pay with the developer. Your fee is the same either way.

• Bitget — 12% of the trading fee you already pay, for new and existing accounts.
• Binance — only for accounts opened after the developer joined the program. If you already have a Binance account, the developer earns nothing from your trading. Please do not open a second Binance account to change that; Binance prohibits it.
• Bybit and OKX — the program carries the exchange's broker or referral identifiers where available. Your fee does not change.
• Copy trading (Bitget, Bybit) — as the leader of the profiles, the developer receives the profit share the exchange sets from followers' profits. The invite links carry the exchange's invite code.

The sign-up links on this website are the exchanges' plain registration pages, not referral links.

The conflict of interest, stated plainly

Being paid per trade gives the developer a reason to want more trades. The developer sets the entry rules and defaults that ship with each build, and the advanced strategy settings are password-locked. Those defaults also include a rule that cuts trades: at most 3 new entries per symbol in 24 hours. Your settings are stored in a file on your computer, and the developer cannot see or change them while the program runs. In Shadow Mode you can watch how often it trades before any money is involved.

What you can check yourself

• Compare the SHA-256 checksum of your download with the one on the download page.
• While it runs, list the hosts it connects to (Resource Monitor on Windows, lsof -i -P on macOS).
• Watch the live account's dashboard — hourly captures here, and the YouTube live stream.
• Run Shadow Mode for as long as you like before connecting real funds.

What you cannot check

The source code is not public. The Windows and macOS builds are packaged and obfuscated, so you cannot read the strategy code. If you need to read every line of a bot before using it, open-source projects such as Freqtrade or Hummingbot are better suited to that.
