AI transparency & risk notice

You are dealing with an AI system

Apex "AI employees" are software workers that execute only the rules, logic, sides and risk rails you set. They generate no trade ideas, recommendations, signals or market commentary, and Apex gives no investment advice. Voice and video recaps of what was executed use synthetic speech and are labelled as such.

What the AI can and cannot do

With Live on, Apex executes the rules you set as spot crypto orders on your own exchange account (currently Kraken spot only), within the budget and limits you set. Apex is execution-only: it gives no investment advice, recommendations or signals and does not choose coins for you. It cannot use leverage, go short, withdraw, transfer, stake or move funds. Your API key must have query and trade permissions only; keys with withdraw or transfer rights are refused, and if the permissions cannot be verified, live trading stays off. Apex never holds your money.

Safety limits enforced in software

• Budget cap: the AI never deploys more than the budget you assign.
• Every entry gets an exchange-side stop-loss; if the stop cannot be placed, the position is sold and trading halts.
• Per-trade risk cap (default 0.5% of budget at the stop).
• Daily loss limit (default 3%) and maximum drawdown kill (default 10%) — once hit, no new entries until you review and resume.
• If Apex's books do not match your real exchange balance, trading halts.
• Kill switch: stop all new entries, optionally sell everything, at any time.

Human oversight

You decide whether Live is on, the budget, the limits and the stop rules. You can pause, close by hand, use the kill switch, and you must resume yourself after any halt.

Records

Every rule-triggered order, the safety check verdict and each order outcome is written to a tamper-evident decision log you can review.

Risk warning

Crypto-assets are highly volatile. You can lose the entire budget you assign. Stops can fill worse than their price in fast markets or gaps. Rules you set can lose money. Past results do not predict future results. Every order is real and placed on your own exchange account; Apex never holds your funds. This is not investment advice.
