How it works

Rules you can inspect. Control you keep.

Cobalt and Fable are standardized software suites. Paper mode is the default. The website never runs a bot or communicates with an exchange.

From market data to a decision

Each suite evaluates completed candles, applies its fixed regime and entry rules, and records a decision. The same published rule set is applied for every user of a given build.

Spot and inverse builds

The US build is for fully funded spot markets. The international inverse build is separate software for eligible users and venues.

An inverse one-times hedge can reduce directional exposure while funding behavior still depends on the specific contract and market. It is available only in the separate international build where lawful and supported.

Human gate

Rule changes are researched, tested, documented, and explicitly approved before release.

What a drawdown looks like

Trend systems can remain sidelined, enter false breakouts, and experience extended periods of loss. Drawdowns are shown as part of the record rather than removed from it.

Tested and rejected

  • Unverified changes without a reproducible test
  • Changes chosen only because a chart looked better afterward
  • Fee or liquidity assumptions without a documented source
  • Experiments that require the website to hold credentials or place orders
