Why ARMADA8? // honestly

Built for ourselves

In crypto since 2013. Running a multi-million euro business, months pass without looking at the market. We needed something that runs — without us. Nothing existed. So we built it.

No scam — by design

Runs on your own Kraken account. API key with trade permissions, no withdrawal. We can trade, but never move your money.

₿

Our own money in

We use exactly the same bot with our own money. Same strategy, same parameters. If we screw up, we lose first.

Boring beats clever

No day trading, no altcoin gambling, no leverage. Buy Bitcoin, intelligently distributed. More during panic, less during euphoria.

10 Year Backtest REAL MARKET DATA

"Der Max drawdown von 83% ist brutal. Aber wer $120k investiert und $2.1M rausholt, kann den Dip aushalten. Der Bot kauft dann einfach günstiger nach — genau dafür ist er gebaut."

How it works // 5 steps

1

Open Kraken

Verified account. Your money, your name, your control.

2

Create API key

Trade permissions yes, withdrawal no. Your money can only go to your bank account.

3

Deposit monthly

€500, €1k, €10k — monthly via bank transfer. Bot detects each deposit and distributes it intelligently over 30 days.

4

Bot buys BTC

Fear & Greed bestimmt Timing. Panik = aggressiv. Euphorie = warten.

5

Drink coffee

Dashboard shows what's happening. But you don't have to look. That's the point.

The Strategy // transparent

Three bots work together. Each has one job, no overlap. Fully deterministic — no LLM in the trading loop.

DCA Bot KERN

Your anchor in the storm. Optimized for monthly deposits — distributes your budget intelligently over 30 days.

  • 100% BTC — no altcoins
  • Monthly deposit → automatic 30-day buying plan
  • Fear & Greed Index bestimmt Aggressivität (1-10x)
  • Extreme Fear → monthly budget invested quickly
  • Euphoria → bot stretches buys over weeks

Swing Trader TAKTISCH

Navigates the waves. Mean-reversion on ETH and SOL.

  • Only active in bullish market regime
  • Confluence signals: RSI + SMA20 + Volume + FGI
  • TP +8% / SL -3% (asymmetric, 38% WR is enough)
  • Max 2 positions at once, $50/trade
  • Auto-dry-run in bear market

Pairs Trader TAKTISCH

Dives deep. Market-neutral spread trading below the surface.

  • Pairs: BTC/ETH, ETH/SOL
  • Entry at Z-Score > 2.0 (statistically extreme)
  • Exit at mean reversion (Z < 0.3)
  • Pauses at FGI < 10 (crash protection)
  • Limit orders with slippage buffer

Regime Detector SUPPORT

System sonar. Determines market phase for tactical bots.

  • 4 signals: FGI + BTC 200d SMA + Cycle Score + 7d Momentum
  • Output: RISK_ON / CAUTION / RISK_OFF
  • Swing Trader: only LIVE during RISK_ON
  • DCA: runs ALWAYS, ignores regime
  • Updated every 4 hours

Bot interaction

DCA + Swing: DCA buys only BTC. Swing trades only altcoins. No overlap.
DCA + Pairs: Pairs ignores DCA holdings. Separate exposure calculation.
Crash protection: In extreme panic (FGI < 10) the Pairs Trader pauses — correlations break down in crashes. DCA keeps buying (cheaply).
Kill switch: One button stops all bots immediately. Anytime.

Marktvergleich // ehrlich & verifiziert

We don't need to claim we're the best. The facts speak for themselves — and also show where others have strengths.

Honest assessment: Relai and Swan are fantastic for people who just want to regularly buy BTC — zero effort, download the app, done. 3Commas and Bitsgap are powerful platforms for people who want to build their own strategies. ARMADA8 is for the middle: You want more than plain DCA, but don't want to configure 10 bots yourself. Managed, on your account, with sentiment timing.

Datenquellen & KI // woher die Entscheidungen kommen

No LLM in the trading loop. All trading decisions are deterministic — pure code, no "AI thinks and decides." AI is used exclusively for market cycle analysis, monitoring, and alerting.

Kraken API
Orderbook, balances, order execution
CoinGecko Pro

Why no LLM for trading? Because LLMs hallucinate. A bot that "thinks" BTC is cheap because it generates false data costs real money. Our trading logic is deterministic — testable, traceable, reproducible. AI analyzes market cycles and monitors the system, but doesn't trade.

Pricing // flat, fair, in BTC

Unabhängig von Portfoliogröße. Ob du €500 oder €50.000 investierst — gleicher Price.

ARMADA8 is not financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Backtests are based on historical CoinGecko Pro market data (March 2016 — February 2026). Bitcoin is volatile — drawdowns of 50-80% are historically normal. Only invest money you can afford to lose. ARMADA8 is operated by Thalios Advisory Ltd., Cyprus.
