Four engineers, one algorithm, the same incentives as you.

A trading algorithm is only as good as the people willing to put their own money behind it. That's the test we've held ourselves to from day one — and the reason the product exists in the form it does.

How we got here

The four of us met in 2019 working on execution infrastructure at a mid-sized quant desk. We left independently between 2020 and 2021, regrouped that summer, and spent six months building what became CORE APEX out of a shared dissatisfaction with two things: signal services that sold copy-paste trades with no accountability, and quant platforms that handed you a Python notebook and called it a product.

We wanted something between. An algorithm refined enough to be trusted with real capital — and a service wrapper that made it usable for anyone with a broker account and twenty thousand dollars or less.

The principles we don't compromise on

We trade what we sell. The same algorithm, the same parameters, the same broker connections — running on our own capital alongside every subscriber's account. Quarterly broker statements are the only honest answer to "is this real."

The price stays at $30. No tiers, no upsells, no performance fees. At $30 we cover infrastructure, the onboarding team, and the engineers; with margin to keep developing. Raising the price would change the incentive structure — we'd rather scale subscribers than ARPU.

We won't ship source. The algorithm is the product. A strategy that the entire subscriber base could replicate and tweak would decay within months. You receive signals and execution; the implementation stays with us. We compensate with quarterly methodology notes that explain what changed and why.
