Automated Crypto Trading — Shadow-Validated, Risk-Managed

Automation in crypto only works if the strategy has been proven under live conditions. SuperKamouBot uses a shadow-first promotion model: every new strategy runs in paper mode, then with minimal capital, before it is allowed to scale.

The promotion gates are mechanical, not discretionary. A strategy must pass data-integrity checks, regime-coverage checks, sample-size requirements (minimum 30 trades), risk-adjusted return thresholds, and positive expectancy tests. Even after promotion, strategies are continuously monitored and auto-demoted if edge decays.

Live performance is tracked in real time. At the time of writing the bot has 20 closed trades, a 9.61% net return, and a Sharpe ratio of 5.22. The 30% win rate is intentional: the system targets asymmetric risk-reward, where winning trades capture 2-3x the average loss.

Capital protection is never delegated. Every position has a mandatory stop-loss from entry, position sizing is capped at 1% risk per trade, aggregate exposure is limited, and a drawdown circuit breaker halts new entries when portfolio drawdown hits 20%. There is no averaging down, no martingale, and no discretionary override.

The current setup runs on KuCoin Futures with non-custodial API keys scoped to trade-only, withdrawals disabled. You keep your funds on the exchange; the bot only places orders.
