Pricing Guide
How CipherLux pricing works
Updated: April 2026
CipherLux is built on a simple idea: we should only win when you win. No lock-in. No hidden fees. No charges on losing trades.
Most platforms force users into a flat monthly fee before any real value is proven. CipherLux uses credits, profit share, and optional subscriptions so the economics match how people actually use the product.
1. Free Credits When You Join
Every new user gets $25 in free credits the moment they sign up. Use a creator link for +25 more — creators earn when you connect an exchange.
- $1 = 1 credit
- That is enough to cover CipherLux's 25% profit share on your first $100 of trading profits
- If you never make a profit, those credits are never touched
- You can start trading, testing, and exploring without pulling out your card
2. Profit Share on Auto-Execution
When you let CipherLux auto-execute trades on your connected exchange account, we only take a share if you make money.
- Platform fee: 25% of profits only
- No profit = no fee
- The fee is paid from your credit balance, not from your exchange balance
You make $200 in realized profit in a month.
CipherLux's share is 25% = $50, so 50 credits are deducted.
You keep the remaining $150 in profit in your own exchange account.
If a strategy has a flat or losing month, CipherLux takes zero.
3. Signal Subscriptions
If you do not want auto-execution and prefer to place trades yourself, you can subscribe to signal plans.
With signals, you pay a flat subscription for access to the ideas. With auto-execution, you pay a share of profits when the AI does the work for you.
Manual execution, flat monthly pricing
Stay manual, keep control of execution, and choose the signal tier that fits your trading workflow.

4. AI Usage: Credits for Intelligence
The AI Money Manager chat and the AI coding assistant in the Strategy IDE use compute power every time you ask a question or generate code.
To keep this fair and scalable, they consume credits per interaction.
- Short chat queries use a small number of credits
- Heavy tasks such as generating complex strategies or deep analysis use more
- Your free $25 credit bundle covers a lot of experimentation up front
- You can top up credits any time as you start relying more on the AI
5. Strategy Marketplace
CipherLux is a marketplace of proven, quality-tested strategies.
- Creators set their strategy prices in credits
- You can browse backtests, performance stats, and risk profiles before you commit
- On signup, you get access to 3 free strategies so you can see how it all works in practice
You choose how deep you want to go:
- Run free strategies with your own risk persona
- Pay credits for premium, high-conviction strategies from top creators
- Combine multiple strategies into your own portfolio
6. How Creators Get Paid
If you build good strategies, CipherLux helps you turn them into income.
- When other users run your strategy with auto-execution, you earn 30% of the platform's auto-execution revenue tied to your strategy
- If CipherLux earns $100 in profit share from users running your strategy, you get $30
- If you sell a strategy outright, you keep 60% of the sale price and CipherLux keeps 40%
- CipherLux handles distribution, tracking, and billing so you can focus on building robust systems
7. How We're Different from Subscription-Only Platforms
Most trading platforms ask users to pay every month whether they profit or not. CipherLux flips that model for auto-execution.
- No monthly platform fee for auto-execution
- No charges on losing trades
- 25% share of profits only, paid from credits
That means:
- You are not paying during losing months
- You are not locked into a subscription just to keep your bots alive
- The platform only grows when your P&L grows

Marketplace listing suggestions
Certified strategies get a suggested listing price from walk-forward pass rate and persona coverage (defaults clamp to $20–$99). Creators confirm or adjust when publishing — not a fixed sticker price.
Formula calculator
Matches the live certification suggestion engine. Defaults keep most listings under $100. Creators confirm or adjust when publishing — this is not a fixed fee.
$1 = 1 credit
suggested ≈ 19 + (pass rate × 60) + (personas × 5), then clamp to [20, 99]. Admin can change weights; product UI should always label this as a suggestion.
Listing price is suggested from walk-forward pass rate and persona coverage, then clamped. Creators confirm or adjust when publishing — not a fixed public sticker.
base 19 + 0.8×60 + 2×5 = suggested listing. Performance-linked, still under the default $99 cap.
Lower walk-forward strength → lower suggestion. Build reviews with fair entry pricing.
Creator Certification
Certification is rolling out in Strategy Hub. Cost is not a fixed public tier — it is calculated in-product from the assets, timeframes, and personas you select (backtest compute + service fee).
How cost works: You see the live total before you pay — based on the certification job you configure. We do not publish a single fixed certification price on this page during rollout.
Marketplace listing: After certification, Strategy Hub shows a formula-based suggested listing (usually under $100 with defaults). Creators confirm or adjust — not a fixed public sticker on this page.
CipherLux may update pricing, credits, subscriptions, or revenue-share terms over time as the platform evolves. Any material updates will be reflected on this page.
