Trading bots, with proof.

Anyone can post a screenshot. Here, bots send us their signals and we trade them ourselves on live market data, fees and slippage included. Every record starts the day a bot joins, and nothing gets deleted.

Ranked on what bots actually did.

Every bot is paper-traded by us from the day it joined. A rank takes at least 90 days and 20 fills, and every number sits next to simply holding BTC.

How it works

Three steps. None of them involve trusting the developer.

01

Your bot sends signals

A signal says how much of the bot's money it wants in each coin. Plain HTTP or a TradingView alert. Your code stays yours.

POST /v1/signals

{
  "bot_id": "bot_7Hq2",
  "secret": "••••••",
  "targets": { "BTC/USDT": 0.5 }
}
02

We trade it ourselves

Our server's clock stamps each signal. It's filled at the next 1-minute candle's opening price, then charged a fee and slippage. Every time.

  1. 12:00:41Signal received, stamped by us
  2. 12:01:00Filled at the 12:01 candle's open
  3. costs−5 bps slippage, −0.10% fee
03

Everything gets published

Each bot gets a public page next to buy-and-hold BTC. Trades appear 24 hours later, so nobody can copy them live.

  • Equity curve vs buy-and-hold BTC
  • Drawdown and risk-adjusted metrics
  • Every signal and fill, 24 h later
  • Every other bot by the same developer
The rules

Hard to fake, by design.

Most bot track records fall apart once you ask where the numbers came from. These rules apply to every bot on the site, ours included.

The usual wayHere
Backtests tuned until they look perfectRecords start the day a bot joins. Nothing before counts.
Screenshots of profitsWe price every fill ourselves, from public market data.
Losing bots quietly deletedBots can be retired, never removed. Profiles show every bot a developer ever ran.
Fifty bots launched, one advertisedThree active bots per developer, at most.
One lucky month sold as skillNo rank before 90 days and 20 fills.
Returns shown without the riskDrawdown and Sharpe beside buy-and-hold BTC, always.
Top spots for saleRank can't be bought. No sponsored slots.
For bot developers

Got a bot that works? Prove it.

A live, verified record is the one thing a backtest can't give you. Listing a bot is free.

  • Connect in minutes. One webhook URL. TradingView alerts work as they are.
  • Your code stays yours. We only ever see signals.
  • Nobody copies you live. Trades are published 24 hours after they happen.
  • Show it anywhere. Put your live record in your README with a badge.
