What is Apex OS?

Apex OS is crypto trading software from MKR Solutions in Rotterdam. It works like an operating system for trading: it connects to your own accounts on Binance, Bybit, OKX, KuCoin, Bitget, Gate, MEXC and other exchanges supported by the ccxt library, streams their order books and trades, and brings charting, order entry, research, strategy building, AI and automation together in one workspace.

Apex OS never holds your funds. It acts only on the accounts you connect, in the mode you choose (Shadow, Paper or Live) and inside the limits you set.

Everything a trading desk needs, in one desktop

Apex OS replaces the stack of tabs most active traders juggle: an exchange website, a charting tool, a bot platform, a spreadsheet and a news feed. Each module below has its own page.

Trading Terminal

A professional crypto trading terminal with Order Book Lab, 260 indicators, a market heatmap and server-side alerts.

Built for the exchanges you already use

Apex OS connects to your exchange accounts through API keys and keeps a private connection per account. Market Data shows the feeds, candle charts and order books of every connected venue, so you compare prices and liquidity across exchanges without switching windows.

Create keys with trading permission only: Apex OS never needs the right to withdraw. Keys are sealed in a vault per account, and live orders sit behind your trading PIN.

  • Spot and futures, long and short, wherever your exchange offers them
  • Binance, Bybit, OKX, KuCoin, Bitget, Gate and MEXC, plus other ccxt exchanges
  • Positions, orders and history per account in Positions & Orders
  • A desktop in English or Dutch

Risk controls on every automated path

Automation is only useful if you can stop it. Every strategy, autopilot and AI agent in Apex OS runs inside the same safety model, and nothing reaches Live without passing Shadow and Paper first.

  • Trading PIN and multi-factor authentication
  • Daily loss limits and a drawdown kill switch
  • The Guardian risk engine on automated trading
  • Risk Atlas: real and paper exposure kept apart, with shock scenarios
  • Signed, encrypted releases of the software itself

Guided mode for new traders, Advanced mode for quants

New to automated trading? Guided mode shows the essential apps and keeps the research labs out of the way. The Apex Academy (5 tracks, 19 missions) and a knowledge base of 190 articles take you from your first login to your first Shadow strategy. Switch to Advanced mode when you want the full quant desk.

From first signal to live order

  1. Shadow

    Signals only. The strategy or autopilot shows what it would do; no orders are sent.

  2. Paper

    Simulated capital on live order books, so results include real spreads and depth.

  3. Live

    Real orders on your own account, behind your trading PIN, budgets and kill switches.

Plans with Apex OS

Prices per month in USD, excl. VAT. Quarterly billing saves 10%, yearly billing 20%. The pricing page also shows EUR at the live exchange rate.

Frequently asked questions

Which exchanges does Apex OS support?

Binance, Bybit, OKX, KuCoin, Bitget, Gate and MEXC, plus other exchanges supported by the ccxt library. Which spot and futures markets you can trade depends on the exchange and on your jurisdiction.

Does Apex OS hold my funds?

No. Apex OS is software, not a broker or custodian. Your funds stay on your own exchange account, and Apex OS places orders there through the API keys you connect. It never needs withdrawal permission.

Can I use Apex OS without automation?

Yes. The Client plan is a manual trading desk: charts, depth, order entry, positions and research on your own exchange account. Automation starts on the Trader plan, on Shadow and Paper first.

Can I try Apex OS before I subscribe?

Four Apex OS apps run live and read-only on the Hands-on page: Markets, Signals, the BTC Trading Terminal and the Indicator Board. When you request access, we walk you through Apex OS live.

Is Apex OS available in Dutch?

Yes. The whole desktop, the Academy and the knowledge base are available in English and Dutch.
