How it works
Proof before live capital
Every signal is a defined-risk setup on KuCoin Futures that you trade yourself. Behind it, a strategy has to pass a shadow (paper) test before it can go live, and a live strategy that falls short goes back to shadow.
Operating state
As of Oct 6, 2026: no strategy trades live capital. Every strategy is in shadow (paper) evaluation, measured shadow results are net negative after costs, and no strategy has a validated edge or a live record. Nothing on this site shows or implies profitability.

Reveal a signal
When a setup qualifies, reveal it in your dashboard. That holds 4 credits; nothing is spent yet.
Trade it yourself
Place the entry, stop and target on your own KuCoin Futures account, sized to your risk. The signal is valid for 8 hours.

Evidence lifecycle
Three stages before a signal can be published
A strategy has to pass each stage before it can trade live capital, and testing continues after it does.
Research
RESEARCHA candidate is tested on historical data. A research result is a hypothesis: it can never authorize a paid signal or live capital on its own.
Shadow (paper)
SHADOWThe strategy runs on live market data with no capital at risk, and every simulated trade is scored after trading costs. The shadow test, our admission test, is a statistical test on daily net R after costs: it decides when, if ever, the evidence is strong enough, and a single good day never qualifies.
Every strategy is here as of Oct 6, 2026. None has passed the shadow test yet.
Live
LIVEOnly a strategy that passes the shadow test can trade real capital and produce customer signals. Its live results are tested the same way, and a strategy that falls short is moved back to shadow automatically.
Falls short in live: back to shadow
Safety
Bot safeguards and customer decisions
Our execution controls govern the bot’s own positions. You decide whether and how to trade each informational signal on your own account.
Verification gates
Every signal runs through evidence checks before publication. No proof, no signal.
A stop on every signal
Every published signal carries a stop-loss. The loss side is defined before any decision field is revealed.
Position limits
Internal position sizing and aggregate exposure limits govern the bot’s own trades. They do not control or cap customer positions.
Automatic pauses
Publication pauses when evidence is stale, contradictory, or unavailable. The public experience fails closed.
No custody, no execution
Signals only. SuperKamouBot never holds customer funds, never asks for exchange credentials and never places orders for you. The execution policy also forbids averaging down and martingale sizing.
Published evidence
How results are measured and published
Public pages expose aggregate evidence only. Every published figure carries its operating mode, sample size, source, window and timestamp; otherwise the value is withheld.
Separate cohorts
The bot’s own positions, the published signals and any simulations are different populations, and are never blended.
Signals are measured in R
1R is the distance from entry to stop. The target sits at +1R, so a win, a loss and a cancelled signal are all counted the same way.
Missing means unavailable
Stale or missing evidence reads unavailable, never optimistic. Definitions live in the results methodology.

Key terms
Trading vocabulary, defined
- Net R after costs
- A trade’s result in units of its planned risk (1R is the distance from entry to stop), after fees, slippage and funding. A -1R trade lost exactly what it risked.
- Drawdown
- The drop from a peak to a later low in a specific measured balance series. A bot-account drawdown is not a subscriber-account drawdown.
- Regime
- A market environment — for example, a strong uptrend, a choppy sideways market, or a crash. Strategies that work in one regime often fail in another, which is why we test each separately.
- Perpetual futures
- A type of crypto futures contract with no expiry date. You can hold a long or short position for as long as you want, with leverage. KuCoin Futures trades perpetuals.
- Shadow validation
- Running a strategy in "paper trading" mode — it generates signals and tracks results as if it were live, but no real money is risked. A strategy must pass the shadow test before it can trade live capital.
- Day unit
- One UTC day of a strategy’s completed shadow trades, scored together. The shadow test counts day units, so one lucky day can never qualify a strategy.
- Stop-loss
- A planned exit when price reaches a defined level. Actual fills can differ because of gaps, slippage, fees, liquidity, or exchange behavior.
- KuCoin Futures
- The derivatives exchange whose market data SuperKamouBot monitors. It offers perpetual futures contracts on hundreds of crypto pairs. SuperKamouBot does not hold customer funds or execute trades on customer accounts.
