ImaxTrade is a software platform that lets you run a professional, fully-automated crypto trading desk for your clients — under your own brand, on your own custody, with your own fee structure. The platform handles the trading; you handle the relationship.
Behind the scenes, an intelligent signal engine watches the market continuously and routes orders through your exchange account. Your investors see clean, simple performance updates — no order tickets, no charts, no buttons to push wrong. They see their share of the pool, growing or shrinking, the way an investor sees a fund.
What it replaces
| The old way | With ImaxTrade |
|---|---|
| Each client opens their own exchange account, funds it, and you spend hours getting them set up. | One pooled exchange account per manager. Clients deposit into the pool with a single transfer. |
| You execute trades manually or paste signals into client accounts. Errors compound. | The engine trades the pool once. Every investor automatically participates in proportion to their stake. |
| Fee collection is a spreadsheet exercise. Performance reporting is a PDF you build by hand. | Fees are calculated by the platform. Reports are generated and timestamped automatically. |
| Your strategy and your operations live in the same head — yours. Hard to scale. | Strategy runs in software 24/7. You scale to ten, fifty, a hundred clients without adding headcount. |
Six things the engine does, every minute.
The platform's edge is not a single trick — it's a stack of independent decisions that have to all agree before money moves. Here's the headline of what's working under the surface.
Reads the market's mood
Before deciding what to trade, the engine asks: is the market trending, ranging, or unsettled? Strategies that work in a calm range get muted in a breakout, and vice versa. The system adapts every cycle.
Multi-strategy consensus
A diverse panel of independent strategies — each looking at the market from a different angle — votes on every trade. A signal only fires when a meaningful majority agree, with the regime-appropriate weight.
Risk-aware sizing
Position sizes are decided by the math of how much can be lost on the trade, not by gut feel. Tight stops mean larger positions; wide stops mean smaller. Capital exposed per trade is capped.
Built-in circuit breakers
If accuracy drops below an honest threshold, the platform stops trading the affected strategies on its own. Daily loss limits and per-symbol exposure caps are baked in. The system can say "not today."
Continuous learning
Every signal is recorded — the ones that fired, the ones that didn't, what came next. That history feeds a learning loop that keeps strategy weights in tune with what's actually working in the current market.
Shadow & paper testing
Every new strategy and every parameter change runs invisibly alongside live trading first. If it doesn't perform in shadow mode, it never reaches your clients' capital.
Six gates a signal must clear.
A trade idea doesn't go from "the market looks interesting" straight to "buy." It walks through six independent checkpoints, each capable of rejecting it. If even one gate says no, no order is placed.
The decision pipeline
Most signals never reach the exchange. That's by design. A managed account exists to filter what the market throws at it, not to act on everything.
How an asset manager uses the platform.
The platform is built around pools. A pool is a single exchange account, owned and operated by you (the asset manager), with multiple investors contributing capital into it. The platform tracks every investor's share, in fund-style units, and updates valuations daily.
The four-step setup
Why this works for investors who don't own crypto
The biggest barrier to bringing clients into algorithmic crypto trading isn't the strategy — it's the onboarding. Most retail investors aren't comfortable opening an exchange account, completing exchange-side KYC, securing API keys, hardware wallets, or the cold-storage hygiene that comes with self-custody.
With ImaxTrade, the investor doesn't need any of that. They send funds to you, exactly the way they would for any managed product. You hold the assets in your exchange account. The platform credits the investor with units representing their share. From that point on, they see a clean dashboard: deposits, current value, returns, withdrawals. Crypto is the asset class. The experience is wealth management.
Daily valuations, fund-style
Every day, the platform computes the pool's true Net Asset Value (NAV) by reading the live exchange balance — across spot, earn, and futures wallets — and dividing by the total units issued. New deposits buy in at that day's NAV. Withdrawals redeem at that day's NAV. Profits accrue proportionally, by units held, the day they happened. This is the model UCITS funds and hedge funds have used for decades.
Aligned with your investors, by design.
The platform is fee-aware end-to-end — fees aren't bolted on, they're part of the unit-accounting system. You can charge a performance fee, a flat management fee, or both. Every fee event is calculated, logged, and settled by the platform.
A typical pool over one quarter
Illustrative numbers only — performance varies and is not guaranteed. The point is the structure: investors keep the majority of returns, you're paid for the outcome, and the platform handles every calculation.
Other fee structures supported
- Flat management fee — A small annualised percentage of AUM, charged regardless of performance. Common for advisors who provide more than just trading.
- Hybrid (2-and-20 style) — Modest management fee plus performance share, the classic hedge-fund structure.
- High-water mark — Performance fees only kick in when NAV exceeds previous peak. Investors are not double-charged for the same gains.
- Tiered performance share — Charge less on small profit slices, more on outsized gains. Useful for differentiated client tiers.
What we do so you sleep at night.
Custody stays with you. The platform never holds your investors' funds. Capital sits in your exchange account, in a sub-account dedicated to the pool. The platform connects via API keys that you issue and that you can revoke at any time.
- Maximum position size per trade — capped as a percentage of pool capital.
- Daily loss circuit breaker — pauses trading automatically when threshold is reached.
- Strategy accuracy gate — under-performers muted until they recover in shadow mode.
- Per-symbol concentration caps — no single asset can dominate pool risk.
- Continuous reconciliation — internal view checked against exchange continuously.
- Immutable audit trail — every signal, order, fill, and fee logged with timestamp.
- Telegram alerts — trades, daily summaries, and circuit-breaker events on your phone.
