Crypto backtesting

A practical crypto backtesting workflow: define rules, check data, model fees and slippage, separate test periods and forward-test before live trading.

Read the guide

API keys and risk controls

Understand how Apex OS connects to exchange accounts, why withdrawal permission is unnecessary, and how to review API access, modes, budgets and risk controls.

From rules to execution

Start with repeatable rules and recorded data. Then inspect current signals in Shadow, simulated orders in Paper, and finally actual execution. No stage guarantees profits; each exposes different assumptions.
