Strategy guardrails

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is Galaxy Exchange?
Galaxy Exchange is a quantitative trading platform for digital assets. You can research and backtest systematic strategies, deploy them to a hosted execution engine that runs 24/7, and trade over 400 markets manually alongside them — all from one verified account.
What is quantitative trading?
Quantitative — or systematic — trading means letting predefined rules decide when to buy and sell, instead of deciding in the moment. The rules are written down, tested against historical data, and executed automatically, which removes hesitation and emotion from the process. It does not remove risk: a strategy can be well built and still lose money.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Every strategy in the library is configured through the interface — you choose the markets, the capital and the risk limits, and the engine handles the rest. If you do write code, the REST, WebSocket and FIX APIs are open to you.
How does backtesting work, and what are its limits?
A backtest replays your strategy against historical tick data, modelling fees, slippage and funding so the result resembles live trading. It is still a simulation: it benefits from hindsight, cannot reproduce every market condition, and a strong backtest is not a promise of future results. Treat it as evidence, not a guarantee — and paper trade before committing capital.
Can I run my own strategy?
Yes. Connect your own models and signals over REST, WebSocket or FIX, or have the engine host your strategy so it keeps running when your machine is off. Institutional accounts can arrange custom hosting and co-located execution.
Which markets can strategies trade?
Over 400 markets including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, ADA and DOGE, plus major stablecoins, perpetuals and a growing set of tokenised instruments. Availability varies by jurisdiction.
What risk controls are available?
Every strategy runs inside limits you set: maximum position size, leverage cap, daily loss limit and maximum drawdown. Breaches are enforced server-side, not in your browser, and a kill switch flattens every open position at once.
How do I open an account?
Choose Sign up, confirm your email address, and complete identity verification. You can start funding as soon as verification clears.
How are my funds protected?
Client assets are held predominantly in offline multi-signature cold storage, segregated from operating funds, with independently attested proof of reserves and continuous risk monitoring.
What fees do you charge?
Trading fees follow a maker and taker schedule that falls as your 30-day volume rises, and strategies are charged on the trades they generate — no separate subscription. The quote shown before you confirm is the price you pay.
Can I withdraw to my bank?
Yes. Withdraw to a verified bank account in supported currencies, or send assets onchain to any address. Withdrawal windows and limits are shown in your account before you confirm.
