Here is what to consider before buying.
Is this a signal service or a managed fund?
Neither. You buy software and the research behind it, run it on your own venue account, and keep custody throughout. Apexstoa never takes deposits, never trades on your behalf, and takes no performance fee.
Why is access limited?
Because every copy places the same order at the same price at the same moment, and they end up competing with each other to get filled. Past a certain point, more users means worse results for everyone already using it. Closing access is the only way to protect what buyers paid for.
What happens when access closes?
Sales stop. Everyone who already bought keeps everything (the bot, the source, the research and any corrections) and continues to receive updates. It does not quietly reopen later under a different name.
Why does it only trade some of the signals?
It rests a limit order at a specific price and trades only if the market comes to it. Signals that never reach the level simply don't become trades and cost nothing. Every figure on the listing is computed on trades the backtest treats as filled: if the price reached the resting level, the order is assumed to fill there. That is a simulation, not an observed fill, and the package says so plainly.
What if I get stuck setting it up?
Write to apexstoa@proton.me. Setup help is available by email: connecting your own exchange account, creating an API key with the right permissions, and getting the first dry run to pass. The package ships SETUP.md, which walks the whole install, and TROUBLESHOOTING.md, which covers the refusals and errors you are most likely to hit. If those do not get you there, someone will answer.
Can I get a refund?
Sales are final as a general rule: you receive the complete source code, the engine and the research record on purchase, and none of that can be handed back once it's been delivered. Two things qualify that. If a published figure that the product's own verify command checks (apex.cli verify for APEX, carry.cli verify for CARRY) does not reproduce on your machine, that is a refund. And where a defect in the software cannot be fixed by any update, the fee may be refunded in whole or in part at the seller's discretion, exercised in good faith. Refunds are not available for trading losses, for your own configuration or exchange choice, or for changing your mind about the strategy. The full terms are in the pre-sale agreement. That is also why everything material to the decision sits on this page before you pay: the returns, the drawdowns, the worst month, the longest losing run, and the fact that these are backtested rather than live results. Read it, take the time you need, and only buy if the risk profile suits you.
Can I pay by card?
Not yet. Crypto only for now. Card payment is on the roadmap.
