Terms of Service
Cryptocurrency derivatives trading involves substantial risk, including the use of leverage, exchange counterparty risk, and the possibility of losing your entire balance. Backtest results shown on Skyptra are hypothetical, based on historical data with modeled fees and slippage, and do not guarantee future performance. Live results are typically materially worse than backtests. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
1. The service
Skyptra ("the Service") provides:
- Scanner — real-time market data: cross-exchange price spreads and funding rates on cryptocurrency perpetual futures.
- Backtests — visualizations of historical simulations of arbitrage strategy configurations.
- Pro (beta) — optional automated execution of a strategy configuration you choose, on your own exchange accounts, using API keys you provide.
By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these terms.
2. Not financial advice
Nothing on Skyptra is investment, financial, legal, or tax advice. The Service presents market data and the output of mathematical simulations. All trading decisions — including the decision to enable automated execution and every parameter of the strategy you configure — are yours alone. We are not a broker, investment adviser, money manager, or fiduciary.
3. Non-custodial
Skyptra never holds your funds. Pro execution operates through exchange API keys that you create and can revoke at any time. We require trade-only keys and never request withdrawal permissions. Your relationship with each exchange (including fees, margin rules, and liquidations) is governed by that exchange's own terms.
4. Backtests & performance claims
- Backtest figures (returns, Sharpe, drawdown, win rate, etc.) are simulations over historical data with modeled assumptions (fees, slippage, liquidity gates) that are described on the backtest page.
- Hypothetical performance has inherent limitations: it is constructed with hindsight, does not reflect all real-world frictions, and live market conditions differ.
- Past performance — simulated or real — does not guarantee future results.
5. Pro beta terms
- Pro is currently free during beta. We may introduce pricing later; existing users will be notified before any charge applies.
- Execution slots are rolled out gradually; enabling execution reserves a slot but may not start trading immediately.
- The Service is provided "as is" during beta: outages, bugs, missed entries/exits, or delayed order placement can and will happen. Do not enable execution with funds whose loss would harm you.
- You are responsible for: the legality of automated trading in your jurisdiction, your exchange accounts' standing (including KYC), API key security, and maintaining sufficient margin.
- We may pause or disable execution (globally or per-account) at any time for safety, maintenance, or suspected abuse.
6. Eligibility & lawful use
- You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter contracts.
- You must not use the Service where cryptocurrency derivatives trading is prohibited for you, and you are responsible for compliance with your local laws, exchange restrictions, and sanctions regimes.
- You must not attempt to attack, scrape at abusive rates, reverse-engineer credentials from, or otherwise misuse the Service.
7. Disclaimers & limitation of liability
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ACCURACY OF DATA, UPTIME, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SKYPTRA AND ITS OPERATORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY TRADING LOSSES, LOST PROFITS, OR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE — INCLUDING LOSSES CAUSED BY DATA ERRORS, DELAYS, OUTAGES, OR THE BEHAVIOR OF AUTOMATED EXECUTION. WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, IT IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM (CURRENTLY $0 DURING BETA).
8. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify Skyptra against claims arising from your breach of these terms, your violation of law, or your use of automated execution on your exchange accounts.
9. Termination
You may stop using the Service and request account deletion at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. Sections 2, 4, 7, and 8 survive termination.
10. Changes
We may update these terms; the date above reflects the latest version. Material changes will be announced on the site or by email. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
