ADA-USDT perpetual futures trading bot · one instrument, one venue

APEX

Six and a third years, 6,576 trades, profitable in every calendar year, after real venue fees, real funding and a measured entry-queue cost. Everything below is regenerated from the backtest that ships with it; nothing here is a figure you have to take on trust.

Trades behind the record

APEX, 2020 through 2026, after every measured cost, trading every signal with no limit on open positions. The software ships at eight, and the three settings below show what that dial does. The harness ships with the strategy and regenerates the headline figures from raw market data, so none of them is a screenshot you have to take on trust.

All three settings finished every calendar year profitable. Sizing is the dial you turn for comfort: risk and position count move return and drawdown together, and both are values in the config file.

Worst drawdown −71.9%, in September 2025, at which point the account still held six and a half times its starting deposit. Against the original balance rather than the peak, the deepest it ever went was −39.6%, in the first four months, and it spent 91% of the record above where it started. Starting at a high-water mark gives you no such cushion, which is what the −71.9% is there to tell you.

Sizing is the dial, but it does not scale the way people expect. At half the risk per trade the returns roughly halve; the drawdowns do not. At 8 concurrent positions, halving the risk takes the worst drawdown from −69.1% to −42.0%, not to −34.6%. Read the row you would actually run rather than interpolating between them; every figure here is published at both settings. The full statistical profile (win rate, losing runs, and the deflation of the headline) is set out in the pre-sale agreement you accept before buying.

Availability Limited. Access closes when capacity is reached

Why capacity is finite.

The record

(every figure, from one backtest)

Every figure in the charts below comes from raw market data through the harness that ships with the strategy, not from a screenshot. Charts 06 to 08 are drawn by tools that ship too.

(you set the exposure)

How many trades at once is your decision.

Each open position carries 20% of your equity in notional at the 0.25% setting that ships, and 40% at 0.5%, so concurrency is really a leverage dial. Move it and see exactly what it costs and buys. Every figure is read off the same backtest.

Licensing

Access is limited on purpose.

Capacity is finite for a structural reason: the strategy works a single instrument, and its economics depend on queue position at a price level that more capital only crowds.

The same level, the same second

Every copy acts on the identical public data at the identical moment and competes for the same fills. They aren't independent traders. They're one queue.

Queue position is the edge

Filling at the front of the queue and filling at the back are worth several basis points to each other. Each additional copy ahead of you pushes you toward the back.

Capacity is finite and small

The instrument prints a bounded amount of taker flow per hour. That flow is what fills resting orders, and it does not grow because more people bought the strategy.

So access is capped

So access closes once capacity is reached, rather than staying open indefinitely. Everyone who already bought keeps everything they paid for.

That is why access is limited: it keeps the strategy’s capacity for the people who hold it.

Buying

What you actually receive.

Pay in crypto

USDC on Solana, Base, Arbitrum or Ethereum. One-time, per strategy. No subscription, no performance fee, no managed account. Apexstoa never holds your funds or your keys.

Get the whole box

Runnable engine, pre-registration, the full backtest harness, venue integration, and the research record behind the listing: findings, pre-registrations and decision notes. The headline backtest regenerates end to end from data you fetch yourself. The supporting studies ship as write-ups, not as runnable code: the order-book tape, the analysis scripts and the multi-coin generator stay with the seller, so those conclusions are documented rather than re-derivable.

Reproduce it yourself

The harness regenerates the headline figures from raw data. If a published figure it checks doesn't reproduce on your machine, that's a refund.

Verify it on your exchange

Both products check your exchange before they trade. APEX ships a probe that tests the seven capabilities it relies on against your own funded account, using a test position worth only a few dollars, and it arms on a venue once those capabilities are measured. For Bitunix the package includes our own measurements: six of the seven pass, and partial closes are the one step the package asks you to reconcile. Run the probe on your account to confirm the same. CARRY sizes real money only on a verified venue. Every check runs on your own machine.

The download

Every folder, before you pay.

A map of the release archive, names only. The files themselves arrive on purchase. The tree is generated from the APEX 1.0.0 download itself, so it cannot drift from what you receive. Open any folder.

Get started

Read the disclosures. Then decide.

Everything that bears on the decision is published here and in the pre-sale agreement: the returns, the drawdowns and the terms. Read it once, then choose the setting that suits you.

Every performance figure for these products comes from a backtest, a simulation over historical data, and trading leveraged cryptocurrency derivatives can lose you more than your deposit. APEX has a maximum historical drawdown of −71.6% at its highest setting and −42.0% at the conservative setting that ships (−71.9% and −44.6% with no limit on open positions). CARRY’s figures come from two years of settlements, and the funding regime that produces its yield is decaying.

Nothing here is investment advice. You run the software on your own exchange account and keep custody of your funds. The complete risk statement is in the pre-sale agreement, which you accept before any payment.

Sales are final, with two exceptions set out in the pre-sale agreement: a published figure that the product's verify command checks and that doesn't reproduce is refunded in full, and a defect no update can fix may be refunded at the seller's discretion. Otherwise the source code and the research record are delivered on purchase and can't be returned, which is exactly why every number that bears on the decision is above, before you pay, rather than in terms you'd have to go looking for.

Buy APEX · $399 Buy CARRY · $199 Buy both · $499 Why access is limited

One-time, in crypto. Both are on sale now, and the bundle is $99 below buying them apart. Nothing here is a subscription and there is no performance fee on either.

Runs on Bitunix, whose fee schedule every published figure is priced with (prices and funding come from Binance’s public data). Adapters for Binance and Bybit ship too, and the bot checks your exchange can do what the strategy needs before it arms, so it only ever trades where it has been verified.
