Quantitative market systems.

The choice is legal and structural.

If we charged a percentage of profits, regulators (SEC for securities, CFTC for commodities) would classify us as an Investment Adviser or Commodity Trading Advisor. That comes with heavy registration requirements, major compliance overhead, and restrictions on who we can work with, retail investors first.

So we intentionally chose a flat, one-time license fee instead.

It keeps us compliant.
It keeps your funds in your account.
It avoids monthly invoices, billing friction, and performance-fee complications.

You pay once, you're done.
Maintenance, research, improvements are included.

Think of it less like a subscription and more like buying a system you own and run long-term.

*Access to additional markets requires a separate one-time license fee per market.

Yes. It's a lifetime license for the package you choose.

There are:

· No monthly fees

· No performance fees

· No renewal costs

We maintain the systems, improve them and expand coverage. That is how we protect our reputation and our long term business. We do not nickel and dime clients.

If you trade in a taxable account, your broker will issue a 1099 for short-term gains. That's standard.

Many clients use a Self-directed IRA or Roth IRA. Trading becomes tax-deferred or tax-free. We can point you in the right direction.

We never touch your money. Your funds stay in your account at your broker, a regulated SEC-registered institution.

We connect via an API key that is IP-locked, has no withdrawal permissions, and can only open or close trades. You control the account. You can revoke access at any time.

Here's the honest answer:

Kronos Signal performs best at ~$25K. That's where all systems can run at full capacity.

You can start lower. Nothing breaks. Position sizing throttles the returns.

Many clients:

· Start smaller

· Add funds over time

· Access more markets later when cohorts open up

Two reasons: scale and focus. We run these systems ourselves, on personal and company capital.

Licensing lets us scale responsibly, fund R&D, improve systems continuously, and help more people access the same tools. We're a boutique firm. No VC funding, no race for AUM.

Risk control is the entire point of the system. Worst historical drawdown was -9.8%. Position sizes are small, a large portion of capital stays in dry powder.

Our goal isn't to avoid drawdowns entirely. We control them.

Totally normal. We'll send you a recap, the agreement, and our due diligence page to share.

We're happy to do a short follow-up call with both of you, or include your advisor. No pressure. Take the time you need.

Because a tax break on a lower-yielding strategy is still a losing bet.

The futures tax advantage is the oldest marketing trick in the book. The actual math on $1,000 of profit, at a typical 24% bracket:

•  Futures trader pays: $186 in tax, via the 60/40 rule

•  Stock trader pays: $240 in tax

•  The difference: exactly $54

To save that $54, a futures trader on NinjaTrader has to:

•  Pay constant fees: platform licenses, live CME data feeds, exchange routing fees.

•  Rent a Windows VPS: just to keep heavy desktop software running 24/7.

•  Fight HFTs: trade a hyper-crowded index like the S&P 500 against multi-billion-dollar algorithms.

The Alpaca stock alternative. Our software trades commission-free on Alpaca, runs natively in the cloud with zero VPS requirements, and scans thousands of individual stocks for genuine, uncrowded inefficiencies.

The bottom line: if our stock system yields just 5.5% more gross profit than a crowded futures system, the entire tax advantage is neutralized. Don't optimize for a 5% tax loop. Optimize for raw alpha and modern execution.
