+170.41% in 4 years 9 months. Deepest drawdown -5.83%. And you can prove it on your own screen tonight, free, before you pay anything.

Pegasus Bitcoin is not a trading robot - it is a portfolio: 16 strategies that were mined, validated and decorrelated one by one, running together in a single cBot on BTCUSD. No grid. No martingale. No averaging into losers. No hidden multiplier waiting to take the account back. Every strategy had to hold up on data it had never seen before it was allowed in. For your OWN capital, not a prop challenge.

WHAT IT RETURNED (Jan 2022 - Oct 2026, cTrader-native, tick data, real spread + commission + swap)

ROI +170.41% (23.2% CAGR)

Profit factor 1.50 (per trade - the figure cTrader reports)

Max equity DD -5.83%

Calmar (CAGR/DD) 3.98

Trades 2,826 (win rate 45.9% per trade)

Positive months 39 vs 19 negative

Not our engine. Not our chart. That is the cBot's OWN run inside cTrader's backtester - the same program you are about to install, on the same data you have.

WHAT THE COSTS ACTUALLY WERE

These figures carry Skilling's real Bitcoin costs, tick by tick, and they are high: a spread of about 0.08% of the price plus a 0.075% commission on each side - roughly 0.23% per round trip, several times what a low-cost crypto broker charges. Swap is about 13 USD per BTC per night, long or short. Over the period that was 21,184 EUR of commission and 9,702 EUR of swap, already deducted.

We certified it there on purpose: a book that stays profitable through expensive costs has room to spare when they are cheaper. But your broker is not ours. Run the free edition on YOUR spread, commission and swap before you decide - on cheaper costs the result should be better, and you will see by how much in an hour.

THE SAME PERIOD, HOLDING BITCOIN

Pegasus Bitcoin, Jan 2022 - Oct 2026: +170.4%, worst drawdown -5.8%.

Buying and holding Bitcoin over the same dates: about +80% in USD (+83% in EUR), worst drawdown about -67%.

Year by year (Pegasus Bitcoin / Bitcoin itself):

2022 +30.2% / -64.2%

2023 +41.6% / +155.9%

2024 +25.6% / +121.1%

2025 +9.3% / -6.3%

2026 +6.7% / -4.9% (to October)

It does not try to beat Bitcoin in its best years - it is not a leveraged bet on the price. It trades both directions, so the bad years for Bitcoin were good years for the book.

RUN IT YOURSELF TONIGHT. FREE. BEFORE YOU PAY.

PROOF THAT DOES NOT COME FROM US

Scroll up and look at the Live Stats badge on this page.

That is not a backtest. It is this exact cBot on its own dedicated live-data account - 50,000 EUR, Balanced preset, the same setup as the figures above - running 24/7 since October 2026 and published by cTrader from the account itself. It is young: it will have quiet weeks and bad weeks, and we can switch the bot off, but we cannot edit what it already did.

A backtest proves a strategy worked on history. Live Stats proves the software still runs: still finds its instruments at another broker, still respects its guards, still recovers from a dropped connection at 3am. Most listings only ever show you the first one.

BUILT LIKE SOFTWARE, NOT LIKE A ROBOT

Each of the 16 was mined and validated on its own - walk-forward and out-of-sample - and only then allowed to run next to the others.

HOW IT IS BUILT. They come out of a research engine that has run over 13 million backtests. You cannot check that number from here - so do not weigh it. Weigh this instead: what came out of it was ported to C# and checked signal by signal against the original. The release gate is 99.9% agreement; this build measures 100.000%.

And nothing ships until it has been EXECUTED on a live demo account - because compiling and passing tests is not the same as doing what it says.

AND IT IS MAINTAINED. This is not a listing that was uploaded once. The book is re-measured, strategies that decay are replaced, and every change ships with the reasoning - including the ones that cost us performance.

16 STRATEGIES THAT DO NOT ALL LOSE ON THE SAME DAY

Diversified by BEHAVIOUR, not by market: Trend & Regime, Breakout, Momentum, Reversal, Calendar, Statistical. Every sleeve isolated by its own label on Bitcoin (BTCUSD). Mean pairwise correlation 0.42 - measured across the sleeves of this exact book, not asserted.

THE ONE BAD DAY IS THE ONE THAT COSTS YOU A YEAR

A strategy makes you money over hundreds of trades. A single unprotected bad day can take back a year of them. This half of the product exists for that day - and it is your own capital, so it matters more, not less.

HALTS THAT REMEMBER. If the 25% max-drawdown guard stops the book it STAYS stopped - through a restart, a reboot, another PC. So does the daily-loss budget: a mid-session restart no longer hands back the whole day's allowance. Most bots forget everything the moment they restart, which is precisely when a guard matters.

YOUR FIRM'S CLOCK, NOT OURS. Firms do not all reset the day at the same hour, and a guard counting the wrong day is worse than no guard. Set the zone and hour to match yours.

OPEN TRADES ARE NEVER ORPHANED. Lose the session, restart, move machine: the bot takes back what it left open and rebuilds every trailing stop, breakeven and time exit from the broker's own record. Nothing is left sitting on a stop order with nobody watching.

IT TELLS YOU. Optional Telegram alerts to YOUR own bot: every open, every close with its P&L and reason, every guard that fires, every broker error. The token is yours; nothing passes through us. (Desktop and VPS. cTrader Cloud blocks outbound internet for all cBots, so alerts cannot leave a cloud instance - platform restriction, said up front.)

WHAT IT NEEDS: CAPITAL AND LEVERAGE

Recommended starting balance: 50,000 EUR on the Balanced preset - the capital the published figures and the live demo account use. 30,000 EUR is a workable floor.

The floor is not set by leverage - it is set by the broker's minimum order of 0.01 BTC. Every trade is sized from your balance and its stop; when that size comes out below 0.01 BTC the trade cannot be opened, and it is simply missing from your results. At today's Bitcoin prices:

- 50,000 EUR: about 96% of the trades are taken.

- 30,000 EUR: about 88%.

- 20,000 EUR: about 83%.

- 10,000 EUR: about 64% - most of the book is missing. Not recommended.

Aggressive needs about 25% less capital, Conservative about 50% more. If your broker allows 0.001 BTC orders, divide all of this by ten.

Leverage decides the margin, not the minimum. At 1:5 or higher the book never needs more than 36% margin, inside the 50% margin cap it ships with. At 1:2 - the usual retail crypto limit in the EU - some entries would be skipped for margin. If your broker caps orders at 1 BTC, the bot sizes down to that cap instead of being rejected.

YOUR BOT, YOUR RULES - THE PANEL

143 configurable parameters. You do not need most of them - but they are there, and none of them is decoration.

EVERY STRATEGY, INDIVIDUALLY. All 16 are labelled by style and timeframe - "S01 - Price Action - 2h". Each one: on or off, its own risk %, longs or shorts only, open-and-manage or manage-only, or a fixed lot instead of risk.

PRESETS. One dropdown sets risk scale, guards and position cap - conservative, balanced or aggressive - plus long-only and short-only profiles. Pick one and the whole book moves together.

OVERLAYS, ALL OFF BY DEFAULT. Drawdown throttle, volatility targeting, de-risk under an equity moving average, profit target with trailing give-back. Off means the defaults reproduce the published figure; on means you are running your own version, deliberately.

TRADING SCHEDULE, ALSO OFF BY DEFAULT. Choose when new trades may open - ready-made sessions or your own hours, in the clock you work in - switch weekdays off, or close everything before the weekend. Exits and open trades are never filtered.

BROKER COMPATIBILITY. Symbol overrides, additive or compound sizing, per-asset and global risk caps, and a resolver that reaches bare tickers, MIC suffixes and commercial names. If an instrument is missing at your broker, the bot SAYS SO instead of running empty.

Every name, default and range is documented parameter by parameter on our website - read it before you buy, not after.

ONE THING TO KNOW: while a named preset is selected, the cBot re-applies that preset's risk scale, guards and position cap at every start. Set the preset to Custom first if you want your own values to stick.

WHAT YOU PAY, AND WHY IT WILL NEVER BE CHEAPER

Priced by what is inside it: $20 per strategy. 16 strategies = $320 one-time. Pay once, own it.

NO SALES. NO DISCOUNTS. EVER. The price only ever RISES - +$5 per strategy every 5 sales (ceiling $75/strategy). The earliest buyers lock in the lowest price; it never goes down. No subscription, no monthly fee, no rent.

WHO IS BEHIND IT - AND WHY THAT MATTERS IN SIX MONTHS

Pegasus Bitcoin is not somebody's weekend robot. It is one of 10 products we build and maintain in this Store - cBots, indicators and plugins - and we ship the same way every time: measured, executed on a real account before release, and documented.

cTrader's own product auditor, algo.expert, has reviewed 8 of those listings, 6 of them at five stars. Open our profile and read every one - including the ones that are not this product.

That is the difference between buying a file and buying from a studio: when a broker renames a symbol, when cTrader changes an API, when a strategy decays - somebody is still here, and the update is free.

START WHERE IT COSTS YOU NOTHING

Install the free edition. Point it at your own broker's data, over any period you like, with your own spread and commission. It will either land on the figures at the top of this page or it will not - and you will know in an hour, without having paid anything.

If it does, the paid edition is the same cBot with live and demo trading unlocked, $320 once.
