For funds, family offices, and capital that wants its own edge: bespoke trading algorithm design, backtesting on path-dependent friction, and managed deployment on your VPS. The same engineering team behind NEVA, CATALYST, and PREDICT — but pointed at your thesis, your exchange, your risk profile.
Each tier is fixed-scope and milestone-driven. We don't sell hours — we sell shipped systems. Every engagement begins with a 30-minute discovery call (free, no obligation) to determine fit.
Every engagement produces shippable, code-reviewable systems running in production. Below is the inventory by category.
Written hypothesis, signal logic, entry/exit rules, risk model — with citations to existing research where relevant. Version-controlled markdown in your repo.
Path-dependent simulator with variable slippage (10–30 bps), funding-rate accrual, execution latency (50–250ms), and walk-forward CV across multiple time windows.
Exchange connectors (Binance USDT-M, Bybit, OKX, Hyperliquid) with ISOLATED margin, SL/TP placement via algoOrder, position guards against duplicates.
Daily loss limits, portfolio circuit breakers, per-symbol cooldowns, auto-blacklist after consecutive losses, streak halts. All configurable via env.
Bot-based signal delivery with tier-based gating (basic / pro / whale), free-tier throttling, opt-in digest schedules, anti-spam dedup window.
Web dashboard with live PnL, trade log, equity curve. PM2 process supervision, log rotation, off-VPS backup pipeline, Telegram alerts on circuit breaks.
Transparent process — every engagement follows the same four phases. You see weekly progress, you sign off per milestone, you own the IP at the end.
30-minute call to map your goals, risk tolerance, exchanges, capital base, and timeline. We decide whether the engagement is feasible.
Free · no obligationFixed-scope statement of work: deliverables, milestones, IP terms, success criteria. Signed before any code is written. 30% deposit unlocks Phase III.
3–5 daysWeekly progress demo via screenshare. Milestone payments per delivered artifact. You review backtest data, test execution on a sandbox account.
3–8 weeks (per tier)Production deployment to your VPS, complete handoff documentation, training session, 30-day warranty period for bug fixes at no charge.
1–2 weeksWe build the same way for clients as we build for our own book. Every strategy on /research/ — including the ones we killed — was built by the team that will work on your engagement.
Hedonist Capital has operated since 2015, across four crypto cycles. We've shipped 16 algorithms in research, 4 in production, and run our own capital alongside subscribers' through every regime — bull, bear, sideways, and the weird ones in between.
Build engagements are led by the same engineers who maintain the production stack. No outsourcing. No "junior consultant for your project, senior partner for our pitch." Same hands, same standards.
No. Guaranteed returns in trading are a fraud indicator. What we guarantee is engineering quality: code that passes path-dependent backtests under realistic friction, ships with proper risk overlays, and behaves the way the design doc says it will. Live performance depends on market regime — and that's not something any engineer should promise.
You do, fully. Source code, backtest data, design documents — everything is in your repo, under your license. We retain the right to reference the engagement existed (with your permission for any branded mention), but the engine itself is yours to modify, extend, or shut down.
We tell you. Phase II includes a feasibility checkpoint — if the hypothesis fails initial replay, we stop and refund the deposit minus the discovery hours. We won't ship code for a strategy that doesn't have a real edge. (Several past engagements have ended at this stage, by mutual agreement.)
USDT-M and COIN-M futures on Binance, Bybit, OKX, Hyperliquid. Spot on Binance and Bybit. Other venues (Kraken, KuCoin, Bitget, Gate) are case-by-case — we can add support but it adds 1–2 weeks to the timeline and may require a custom integration fee.
Both options. Tier I and Tier II hand off production code that runs on your infrastructure (instructions included). Tier III (Concierge) includes 12 months of managed hosting on a VPS we provision in your name. Self-hosting is always available for self-custody reasons.
Hedonist Capital is registered in Cyprus. Engagement contracts are governed by Cyprus law unless mutually agreed otherwise. Cross-border engagements are routinely structured — we've worked with clients in EU, UK, UAE, Singapore, and US (subject to applicable regulations on your end).
Yes, before discovery if requested. We routinely sign mutual NDAs covering both the client's strategy thesis and any Hedonist IP shared during the engagement.
30-day warranty is included in every tier (bug fixes free). After that, optional retainer at $5K/month covers: bug fixes, parameter re-tuning, exchange API changes, minor feature additions. Major rebuilds are quoted separately.
Tier 0 — Self-Deploy ($2.5K) is the minimum. It's code + setup instructions only, with no support or VPS provisioning — appropriate for technical buyers who can deploy Node.js / PM2 themselves. Below this, your best path is our /research/ public lab (free) or /academy/ paid courses ($99-499).
Fill the brief below — a partner replies within 24 hours to schedule the free 30-minute discovery call. Discovery is no-obligation; you walk away with a feasibility read regardless of whether we work together.
