Start with the right mental model

Apex is a paper desk for binary Up/Down tickets. It reads public crypto prices, derives its own implied prices, and keeps a practice ledger. It does not buy crypto, connect a brokerage account, or send live orders.

  1. 1

    Use the homepage Looks bar to preview the ten visual presentations. They lead to the same account and desk.

  2. 2

    Read the difference between the live spot price and the synthetic Up/Down price. An Up price of 60¢ means a $5 paper ticket buys about 8.33 shares.

  3. 3

    Follow this guide in order, then use the year example to inspect every strategy without opening an account.

What you should see

You can explain what is live (public price/news feeds), what is modeled (binary pricing and fills), and what is saved (your account ledger).

Know before continuing

Paper credits are not deposits, cryptocurrency, withdrawable funds, or a promise of future earnings.

Open Overview

Keep these terms close

Window

A 5- or 15-minute clock interval with its own opening reference, sampled average, and settlement.

TWAP

The arithmetic mean of the prices sampled so far. Uniform replay samples are 2.5 seconds apart. This app’s VWAP labels do not use volume.

Favorite

The side with the higher modeled price. A tie selects Up. It is not a calibrated probability or a guarantee.

Delta

In the decision engine, (running window average − window open) ÷ window open, not the last price’s return.

Momentum

Latest quote minus the sixth-from-last quote, a 12.5-second span at uninterrupted 2.5-second sampling.

Range

Highest minus lowest of the latest 180 quotes, divided by the current window open. This rolling history spans about 7.5 minutes.

Basis point (bp)

One ten-thousandth. For the $1 binary contract, 25 price bps means an entry price 0.25¢ higher.

Drawdown

A fall from a prior equity high. The year report measures it after each completed window, not on temporarily reserved cash.

Return

Net simulated P&L divided by the same $5,000 starting capital. Strategies have separate accounts; their percentages are not added.

Win rate

Winning settled tickets ÷ all settled tickets. A high win rate can still lose money when entries are expensive.

Profit factor

Sum of positive net ticket P&L ÷ the absolute sum of negative net ticket P&L. Undefined when there are no losing tickets.

Cost stress

A hypothetical 0.2% fee on each $5 stake plus 0.25¢ added to its entry price. It is not a fee quote from a venue.
