Non-custodial notice / Kein Verwahrdienst – Haftungshinweis
Apex is software only. WashedBlackDryTrading does not hold, receive, custody or control your money, funds or crypto-assets, at any time.
- We do not hold or custody users’ money or funds. Your money stays on your own exchange account (for example Kraken), under your own API keys.
- We do not take custody of any assets. We cannot move or withdraw your funds; the API keys you connect must not carry withdrawal rights.
- Trading is at your own risk. You decide whether to arm Live and you choose the settings, rails, budget and stops. Any losses from trading, including losses from orders the software places on your account under those settings, are your own responsibility and are borne entirely by you.
- Apex is execution-only software and gives no investment advice. It makes no recommendations, gives no buy or sell signals, picks no coins and offers no market commentary or strategies. It only executes the rules, logic, sides and risk rails that you set yourself. Past results do not guarantee future results. Crypto-assets are volatile and can lose all of their value.
Deutsch: Apex ist ausschließlich Software. WashedBlackDryTrading verwahrt, empfängt oder kontrolliert zu keinem Zeitpunkt Geld, Gelder oder Kryptowerte der Nutzer. Wir nehmen keine Vermögenswerte in Verwahrung. Ihr Guthaben bleibt auf Ihrem eigenen Börsenkonto (z. B. Kraken) unter Ihren eigenen API-Schlüsseln; wir können Ihre Mittel weder bewegen noch abheben. Sie entscheiden über das Aktivieren von Live sowie über Einstellungen, Regeln, Budget und Stopps. Verluste aus dem Handel – auch aus Orders, die die Software nach diesen Einstellungen auf Ihrem Konto platziert – liegen allein in Ihrer Verantwortung und gehen vollständig zu Ihren Lasten. Apex ist reine Ausführungssoftware und erbringt keine Anlageberatung: keine Empfehlungen, keine Kauf- oder Verkaufssignale, keine Coin-Auswahl, keine Marktkommentare und keine Strategien. Apex führt ausschließlich die Regeln, Logik, Seiten und Risiko-Rails aus, die Sie selbst festlegen. Vergangene Ergebnisse garantieren keine künftigen Ergebnisse. Kryptowerte können ihren gesamten Wert verlieren.
This does not limit liability for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, or where mandatory law (e.g. Produkthaftungsgesetz) applies. / Dies gilt nicht für die Haftung bei Vorsatz, grober Fahrlässigkeit, Verletzung von Leben, Körper oder Gesundheit sowie soweit zwingendes Recht (z. B. Produkthaftungsgesetz) gilt.
You may lose all your funds if you choose the wrong settings. Leverage increases that risk. Nothing here is investment advice, a recommendation, or an offer to deal in financial instruments or crypto-assets.
ApexAITrading employees is a software desk of WashedBlackDryTrading, Köln. You configure the worker; it executes only your rules. Optional exchange API keys stay yours (non-custodial: we do not hold funds). When you arm Live and acknowledge the warning, the worker sends the orders your rules trigger to the venue you selected. You choose the portfolio stop between 0% and 100%.
WashedBlackDryTrading is not authorised as a MiCA crypto-asset service provider and is not a MiFID II investment firm. Using your own keys on your own exchange account is your decision. You are responsible for the law of your own country.
Selling an AI employee is selling a software seat: a subscription to the desk that reads your rails and can place orders with keys you paste. Extra employees are extra seats (€19.99 / month), not managed accounts and not investment advice. We do not custody crypto-assets, we do not operate a trading venue, and we do not manage a portfolio in our name. That is why this product is software, not a MiCA CASP or a MiFID firm. Counsel in Köln should still sign the final terms before a public launch outside this preview.
Autonomous mode, custom logic, and spoken or typed orders can open and close positions without a further click. Rails keep running if you pause Auto while positions are open. Emergency flatten is available at any time. Software can fail. Do not fund what you cannot lose.
German law applies. Venue for merchants: Köln. EU consumers retain mandatory local protections, including withdrawal rights for digital services where applicable (Digitale-Inhalte-RL / BGB).
Subscription: USD 29.99 per month for the first year, billed after a 10-day free trial. Days 1–3 of the trial have no platform volume fee. From day 3 through the rest of the trial, and on a paid plan, a platform fee of 0.20% of notional volume each worker trades is charged in addition to venue taker fees. An extra worker seat is EUR 19.99 per month; that worker also pays 0.20% from day 3. Extra seats are confirmed in a cart (count × €19.99). Deleting a worker pauses it immediately; the extra seat drops from the next month’s invoice. Volume fees accrue on Billing and are due at month end with the subscription. Card, Google Pay or PayPal on the web; crypto invoice on request. Workers are bought only on this website. Cancel anytime. After the trial, Auto and Live stay off until the subscription is active. We invoice only our subscription, extra-seat and volume-fee revenue. We do not hold, custody or tax your exchange balances. Account data, desk settings and optional keys you paste are stored in our EU database so the employee can run. Venue wallets stay with the exchange.
You need an account to use the desk. There is no paper or simulated trading: the desk only places real orders on your own exchange account, and Apex never holds your funds. Setting up the desk does not require identity documents. Arming Live with your own keys requires a name and country attestation so we can comply and stay legal. We are not a MiCA CASP and not a MiFID firm; the exchange still runs its own KYC. We do not onboard residents of sanctioned countries to Live. You are responsible for tax on your own trading profits in your country.
We do not sell your personal data. We do not give it to third parties for their marketing or other commercial use. We share data only where necessary to provide the service you asked for (for example an exchange, payment or messaging provider you connect) or where the law requires it so we can comply and stay legal: courts, regulators, tax authorities and similar bodies, and only to the extent required.
Jurisdictions. We are a German software company (Köln). This is not a bank, a MiFID II investment firm, a MiCA CASP, an FCA-authorised firm, a FINMA-supervised bank, a US broker-dealer or a CFTC FCM. You trade on your own exchange account. You must be allowed to use leveraged products in your country. We do not onboard Live users in sanctioned jurisdictions. EU/EEA: GDPR and the EU AI Act Art. 50 transparency log apply. Switzerland: you keep your own tax and FINMA perimeter. UK: we are not offering regulated investment services. US: software only; you are not a customer of a broker. A mobile number is required before a worker goes on the floor so we can send operational alerts. Signup is confirmed by email. Paid plans receive a monthly invoice for the subscription, extra seats and volume fees — not for your exchange P&L.
These terms are a starting package, not a substitute for counsel.
AML, sanctions and illegal use
You must not use this desk for money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, fraud, market abuse, or any other illegal activity under the law of Germany, the EU, your country of residence, or any other place this app is available (including the UK, Switzerland, the United States and the rest of the world, except sanctioned jurisdictions we refuse to onboard for Live).
We may request identity, source-of-funds or other information at any time so we can comply with AML/CFT (including EU AML packages and FATF standards), sanctions lists (EU, UN, OFAC, UK OFSI, SECO and similar), and orders of competent authorities. If you refuse, or if we reasonably believe the desk is being used illegally, we may immediately: suspend the account; block Auto and Live; flatten open positions to protect the book; take workers off the floor; void the subscription without a refund; keep the EU AI Act / compliance log; and disclose data where the law requires it.
Void of subscription for illegal use is a material breach. No remaining trial or paid period is owed. We do not custody your exchange balances; flattening closes software-tracked positions and, if Live is armed, sends close orders to the venue you connected. You remain responsible for that venue account.
The owner and appointed administrators of WashedBlackDryTrading may access all customer desks, anonymous fingerprints, crash reports and billing state as required to operate, patch, and meet legal duties in every jurisdiction this product can be used. That access is limited to those admin seats.
