CipherLux is opening Creator access to 50 founding strategy developers. Bring your strategy, configure it across 100 assets and 5 timeframes, and earn every time someone runs it. Your code stays private. You keep 60%.
What you get
Credits power everything on the platform — AI-assisted strategy generation, backtesting across assets and timeframes, and running live signals. 250 credits is enough to build, test, and validate a strategy completely.
Share your link. New traders get +25 bonus credits on signup. You earn +25 credits when they connect their exchange — real users, not bots.
Write Python strategies in the browser with an AI pair-programmer that understands the CipherLux engine constraints. No local setup required.
Marketplace runs, trade signals, Telegram & Discord delivery, mobile (Android/iOS TestFlight), or full auto-execution with or without user approval. Non-custodial — funds stay on their exchange. Quality pipeline rolling out.
Approved strategies go live on the CipherLux marketplace where subscribers discover and purchase them. You keep 60% of every sale and 30% of platform auto-exec revenue on your strategy.
How you earn
When a subscriber purchases your strategy on the marketplace, you earn 60% of the sale price. CipherLux keeps 40%. The sale is one-time per subscriber.
Your strategy code is never visible to buyers — they can run it but cannot see how it works. Your edge stays yours.
CipherLux earns 25% of the profits generated by each profitable trade. As a creator, you earn 30% of that 25% from every profitable trade your strategy generates for users.
Strategy privacy
When a subscriber purchases your strategy, they get access to run it — not to see it. The code is never exposed to buyers, to other creators, or to anyone outside CipherLux's execution environment. You can sell your edge without giving it away. This is why serious strategy developers choose CipherLux over public forums and copy-trading platforms.
Who it's for
You have strategies that work but have no execution infrastructure or distribution.
You backtest well but want real live execution without running your own fund.
You want to turn your research into recurring income without managing client relationships.
The build journey
Before you build
The CipherLux execution engine is designed for real-time live trading. Strategies must follow the engine's interface contract to be compatible. Read these constraints before writing your first line of strategy code.
Strategy code must implement the CipherLux Python interface: a class with a def next(self, ctx) method that returns a signal dict or None.
Strategies must be stateless. Instance variables (self.*) do not persist between ticks. Each evaluation runs in a fresh sandbox process.
Position sizing and leverage are controlled at the portfolio level, not in the strategy code. Your strategy defines entry and exit conditions only.
Trailing stop losses are not supported. Fixed stop loss and take profit levels only. Both must be present and greater than zero.
The next() method must not reference account balance, open positions, unrealized PnL, or available margin. These are not available in the strategy context.
Strategies must return a signal within the sandbox time limit. Long-running computations that exceed 60 seconds wall clock will cause a runtime error.
Allowed imports: numpy, pandas, ta, talib, pandas_ta, scipy, math, json, datetime. Machine learning frameworks (sklearn, torch, tensorflow) are not installed.
Built-in functions open, exec, eval, compile, globals, and locals are blocked. Calling them raises a NameError at runtime.
Read the full strategy coding guide in the platform documentation for the complete interface specification before writing your first strategy.
After you submit
Certification is not a single pass/fail. First the engine admits your strategy. Separately, publish thresholds decide whether it can go live on the marketplace.
in_review
Certification job is queued or running (walk-forward folds, multi-asset sweep, persona packaging).
admitted
WF and admission gates passed. The strategy is certified by the engine but not automatically live.
admitted_not_publishable
Admitted, but sellable inventory or publish metrics are below threshold. Improve coverage or edge, then re-certify.
publishable
Admitted and marketplace-ready. Approve/publish to list for subscribers.
rejected
Failed admission gates (folds, PF, trades, or drawdown). Fix the strategy and submit again.
Publishing criteria
Every strategy submitted is evaluated against objective criteria before going live. These thresholds protect subscribers — only strategies with demonstrated performance get published.
Setting your price
CipherLux does not set a floor or ceiling on strategy pricing. After launch, monitor your strategy's conversion rate in the Creator Dashboard. If buyers are viewing but not purchasing, the price may be too high for the track record shown.
Founding Creator Program
Limited to the first 50 accepted creators. Applications reviewed within 24 hours. Human approval required — 250 credits issued on approve.
