Join the Founding 50.
Build strategies that trade for you.
CipherLux is opening Creator access to 50 founding strategy developers. Bring your strategy, certify it across assets and timeframes, and earn every time someone runs it. Your code stays private. You keep 60% of sales.
Permanent Founding 50 badge on your creator profile and listings.
Enough credits to build, backtest, and certify a first strategy end-to-end.
Founding creators are first in line when cert capacity is contended.
+25 CR when a referred trader connects an exchange. Real users only.
Status & perks by persona
What founding membership means for you
Four paths, one program. Status is honest — approval is human-reviewed; certification is automated; publishing is gated by real metrics.
What you get
Everything you need to build and earn.
250 free credits on approval
Credits power AI-assisted generation, backtesting across assets and timeframes, and running live signals. 250 CR is sized to build, test, and validate one strategy completely.
Referral rewards
Share your link. New traders get +25 bonus credits on signup. You earn +25 credits when they connect their exchange — real users, not bots.
Strategy IDE with AI assistance
Write Python strategies in the browser with an AI pair-programmer that understands the CipherLux engine contract. No local setup required.
Your community can use your strategy as…
Marketplace runs, trade signals, Telegram & Discord delivery, mobile, or full auto-execution with or without user approval. Non-custodial — funds stay on their exchange.
Publishing and distribution
Approved strategies go live on the marketplace. You keep 60% of every sale and 30% of platform auto-exec revenue on your strategy.
Trust & DNA on every listing
Published strategies carry verification surfaces (walk-forward evidence, genome lineage) so buyers see tempered proof — not marketing screenshots alone.
How you earn
Two revenue streams. Ongoing.
Strategy sales
When a subscriber purchases your strategy, you earn 60% of the sale price. CipherLux keeps 40%. One-time per subscriber.
Buyers can run the strategy — they never see the code. Your edge stays yours.
Performance earnings
CipherLux earns 25% of profits on auto-executed trades. As a creator you earn 30% of that 25% from profitable trades your strategy generates for users.
Revenue calculator
Illustrative only — not a projection. Conversion and retention depend on certified track record and pricing.
Strategy privacy
Your strategy stays yours.
Subscribers get access to run your strategy — not to see it. Code is never exposed to buyers, other creators, or anyone outside CipherLux's execution environment. Sell the edge without giving it away.
Who it's for
Built for builders.
Pine Script developers
You have strategies that work but no execution infrastructure or distribution.
Algo traders
You backtest well and want live execution without running your own fund.
Quant developers
Turn research into recurring income without managing client relationships.
The build journey
From idea to income.
Before you build
Understand what the engine supports.
The execution engine is built for real-time live trading. Strategies must follow the interface contract to be compatible.
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.
After you submit
Two gates: admitted, then publishable.
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. 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
What gets approved.
Every strategy is evaluated against objective criteria before going live. These thresholds protect subscribers — only strategies with demonstrated performance publish.
Setting your price
You control the price.
Factors that support a higher price
- Higher profit factor (well above 1.3)
- Lower maximum drawdown
- More certified asset configurations
- Longer validated backtest period
- High win rate (above 55%)
Market dynamics to expect
- Priced too high → fewer buyers
- Priced too low → leave revenue on the table
- Strong certified track record commands a premium
- Broad multi-asset coverage justifies higher pricing
- Monitor conversion in Creator Lab after launch
CipherLux does not set a floor or ceiling on strategy pricing. After launch, watch conversion — views without purchases usually means price exceeds the track record shown.
