Live trading
When you are ready, switch a strategy to live trading using your exchange API keys. Follow open positions and completed trades with ROI and P&L, and keep an eye on the bot from the companion mobile app.
Self-hosted crypto trading bot
Your strategies, your rules, your machine.
Apathia is a crypto trading bot you run on your own computer or server. You build strategies from technical indicators, test them on past prices, get alerts when they fire, and let them trade for you with play money or real funds. Your exchange API keys are stored on your machine.
Trade
Run a strategy around the clock on your own machine.
Paper trading
Run any strategy around the clock with a play-money balance from the Trading Center. It reads live prices from the exchange, so you can watch how your rules trade before any real money is involved.
Trading hours
Choose when a strategy may open positions: your own hours in your time zone or UTC, or the Tokyo, London or New York session. Set a daily session-end exit to be flat by the close. Exits keep working around the clock.
Your machine, your keys
Runs on your own computer or server with Docker (Windows, macOS, Linux, or a 64-bit Raspberry Pi). Exchange API keys are stored encrypted on your machine and used only to talk to your exchange. Your data is plain files in one folder you can back up.
Signals
Build strategies, choose trading pairs, and receive alerts when conditions are met
Alerts
Get an alert on Telegram, Discord, email or a webhook when a strategy's entry or exit fires. Prefer manual trading? Use signals to let you know when to submit an order on your exchange.
Strategy builder
Build a strategy from entry and exit rules. Choose long or short, add conditions such as "RSI crosses above 30", add time rules like opening-range breakouts or scheduled DCA buys, and pick an exit: Standard Exit (take-profit and stop-loss), Indicator-Based Exit, a time stop, or Buy and Hold.
Indicators
Use common technical indicators such as RSI, MACD, moving averages, Bollinger Bands and Supertrend. The docs explain what each one shows and what its settings do.
Strategy Library
Start from a ready-made strategy, like Golden Cross. Each one explains how it works. Add any of them in one click and edit it like your own.
Backtest
Test your strategy against past candles to see exactly how it would’ve performed
Replay on past candles
Run a strategy on past candles and see each trade on the chart. A backtest shows how your rules behave. It does not predict the future.
Compare strategies
Backtest several strategies over the same time period side by side and see which one would have performed best on past candles.
Trades table
Every trade is listed in a table with entry, exit, fees, P&L and ROI, so you can check exactly what the rules did.
Helpful warnings
The builder points out settings that may not do what you expect, for example trading hours that start after your session end or only work half the year. Most warnings don't stop you from saving.

Trading risk
Crypto trading is risky. You can lose money, and with leverage a position can be liquidated and lose all of its margin. Nothing here is financial advice, and backtests don't predict future results.
