One trader. One desk. One published track record.
Glimpse is an autonomous trading desk for Bitcoin futures. It runs on a real account, then publishes closed trades to a public ledger. Run by a small operation that got tired of trading by hand.
Trading Bitcoin futures by hand is a brutal business. Markets run twenty-four hours. The market doesn’t sleep, and the setup that worked is usually the one you missed at 3am London. The trade that should have been small is usually the one sized up after a losing week. The desk doesn’t sleep, so you can.
Most retail traders lose money. Reading charts is the easy part. The hard part is doing the job at 3am when you’re exhausted, sizing down after a loss, and skipping the trade that doesn’t quite line up. Humans struggle with all three.
Glimpse is the desk built in response. It watches the market continuously, opens trades when conditions line up, and closes them on rules set in advance. No tilt, no FOMO, no “wait one more bar”. It does the boring rigorous version of the job, the version humans struggle with.
Live on a real account, with real capital. Closed trades are public, wins and losses both shown. Not a backtest, not a paper-traded simulation.
I built the desk because I didn’t trust myself to trade by hand. I shipped it because, after a long time running it privately, I didn’t see anyone else doing the rigorous, transparent version.
Glimpse connects the same intelligence layer to your own Bybit or Toobit account. The same decision framework that runs the desk can act through your trade-only API key, inside the limits you set. Your money lives at the exchange; we never custody a cent and never have withdrawal access.
The Free tier is available only for eligible linked accounts in supported regions. It’s funded by the exchange’s affiliate commission on your trading volume. Paid plans are planned to add deeper reports, written rationale, and direct support. The core trading logic stays the same on every plan.
Show your work. Every closed trade is published with wins, losses, drawdowns, slippage, and hold time. Anyone with the URL can audit the desk the same way you’d audit a fund.
The Bitcoin trading space is loud and the claims are louder. We bet quiet transparency, sustained over time, beats marketing copy.
- 01
Show your work
Every claim has a number behind it. Every number is auditable. We ship transparency before we ship features.
The commitmentThe public tape updates live. Open trades are redacted; closed trades show wins, losses, partial exits, slippage, and hold time. No exceptions, including the ones we wish hadn't happened.
- 02
Boring rigour
Trading is humbling. Production is humbling. We choose the tedious correct answer over the clever interesting one. Slow is smooth; smooth keeps the desk honest.
The commitmentHard stop-loss set the moment a trade opens. The desk auto-halts new trades for the UTC day at -5% account drawdown. No revenge trades, no after-loss size-up.
- 03
Lean by design
We're a one-person operation because that's the right size right now. We'll hire when the AI agents can't keep up, not before. Headcount is a cost, not a credential.
The commitmentWe hire only when the queue justifies it. Until then, the operator owns every line of code and every closed trade. No outsourced trade logic, no off-shore execution.

Default to write
Decisions in writing. Tradeoffs in writing. Postmortems in writing. The codebase, the research notes, and the changelog are the institutional memory.
The commitmentMaterial desk decisions land on /changelog within days, not quarters. Postmortems are public when they happen, including the ones that don't flatter us.
- 01Custody member funds. Trade-only API, no withdrawal access, no transfer rights. Ever.
- 02Trade your account on a thesis the desk wouldn't trade itself. The same intelligence runs both; there is no separate strategy for paying members.
- 03Publish a winning-trades-only view. The public tape is unedited and includes every loss, every flat close, and every slippage event.
- 04Revenge-trade after a losing UTC day. The 5% daily-loss halt is hard-wired; it cannot be overridden during a session.
- 05Sell, share, or internalize member trading data. Your account history is yours.
- 01Sit on the sidelines for days. Low-confidence conditions get skipped, not forced. A flat week is a feature.
- 02Close a winning trade if its thesis stops being true. Even if the position is still green, even if it could have gone further.
- 03Halt for the UTC day at -5%. Open positions stay under their hard stops; new entries pause until the next session.
- 04Stay short during a sentiment rally or long during a panic, when the structure says so. The desk reads conditions, not headlines.
