Two tiers. Zero promises of profit.
Free is a real trading environment, not a teaser. Pro unlocks the capabilities that only matter once you’re serious — and even then, paying never buys a strategy past the grade gate.

The grade gate outranks your credit card.
Every strategy on Strix is graded A–F — walk-forward, after realistic costs. A strategy that grades F cannot trade live money, on any tier. Our own flagship directional model is publicly graded F and is locked out of live trading on our own platform.
What would Pro have to earn to be worth paying for?
This is a hurdle, not a forecast. Every number below is division: the subscription price over your working capital. It tells you what your account would have to clear before Pro has paid for itself — and for most account sizes the honest answer is “more than you should count on”.
- $348
- What Pro costs for a year ($29 × 12). It comes off the top of whatever your trading earns — or adds to whatever it loses.
- 10.9%
- The hurdle on a $3,200 account: $348 ÷ $3,200. Your capital has to clear that every year before the subscription has broken even — before you have made a single dollar for yourself.
- 3.5%
- The same hurdle on a $10,000 account: $348 ÷ $10,000. Somewhere around here the subscription stops dominating your P&L. Below it, the fee is the biggest position you hold.
We’d rather you not pay us than pay us to lose.

Is a 10.9% hurdle realistic? Use our own numbers. The
best out-of-sample result this company has ever measured is a
regime-gated crypto cash-and-carry sleeve: 38 liquid Binance
perpetuals, June 2023 – June 2026, with the final 40% of the window
held out and never fitted, net of 8 bps maker costs — +11.1%/yr,
Sharpe 1.73, maximum drawdown −2.2% on that held-out slice. Source, not
yet published: our internal spec docs/CARRY_STRATEGY.md,
reproduced by binance_carry_real.py in the research
repository. Read that number as a warning, not a
target: a $3,200 account paying for Pro would need to match our
best-ever backtested sleeve just to break even on the fee.
That figure is a historical backtest of one research sleeve, on one venue, over one three-year window. It is not a forecast, not a live track record, not an average, and not a return you should expect. The sleeve is paper-only and has never traded live money; during our last twelve-day live soak its funding-regime gate kept it flat and it earned nothing at all. Three other candidates from the same programme were killed outright. Trading CFDs and other leveraged products involves substantial risk of loss; most retail accounts lose money. No feature of this platform is a promise of profit.
