Dubai-based developer Arcanum Foundation has expanded its suite of crypto tools with Arcanum Wave, a signal-assisted futures trading platform operating on 4-hour candles linked to Bybit exchange infrastructure. Unlike fully automated trading bots like the company's 2024 product Pulse, the platform scores trade setups on a scale of 1 to 100 while leaving leverage, position sizing, and execution to the individual trader.
Key Takeaways
- Signal Architecture: Analyzes 4-hour candles to deliver up to six daily trading sessions based on 14 market parameters.
- Fee Tier Integration: Operates via Bybit OAuth, granting users access to Bybit VIP 3–VIP 4 fee rates, including 0.0350% taker fees on perpetuals.
- Reported Trade Volume: Telegram channel updates showed 46 closed positions from August 10 to 16, 56 closed positions from August 17 to 23, and 141 trades closed between September 21 and 27.
- Execution Dynamics: Public tracking data of 1,446 closed positions revealed individual trade gains between 1.43% and 2.41%, alongside a CHZ position held for 92 days to close at 1.87%.
Signal Generation and Broker Mechanics
Arcanum Wave functions as a signal-assisted terminal within the Arcanum Broker ecosystem rather than an automated execution bot. Users onboard using Bybit OAuth, keeping trading balances on Bybit while accessing reduced exchange fees matching Bybit VIP 3–VIP 4 tiers. Taker fees on perpetual contracts under this tier drop to 0.0350%.
Every four hours, Arcanum Wave evaluates supported assets using 14 parameters—including market volume and candle behavior—to output trade strength scores from 1 to 100. The system presents pre-calculated grid setups alongside Buy Risk and Fear indicators. However, users must manually configure position size, leverage, and isolated margin parameters. While funds remain on the exchange, user balances are still subject to centralized platform risks on Bybit's infrastructure.
Performance Tracking and Drawdown Visibility
Because traders maintain final control over entries and exits, there is no single standardized performance result for Arcanum Wave. Reports published to Arcanum's Telegram channel logged 46 closed positions between August 10 and 16 and 56 closed positions between August 17 and 23, following a 99% win rate claimed for July. A separate update covering September 21 to 27 cited 141 closed trades yielding a claimed 280% total profit, compared to just 3 positions closed by Arcanum Pulse during the same period.
However, weekly net return figures—such as a 1% net profit reported for August 17 to 23—were tied to more than 150 positions closed by active manual users rather than the platform's baseline 56 closes. Published updates omit starting account equity, realized cash amounts, funding costs, and open position drawdown. Arcanum's synced Trader Make Money profile displayed 1,446 closed positions, all of which were long trades returning between 1.43% and 2.41%. One CHZ position was held open for 92 days before exiting at a 1.87% gain, illustrating how open drawdowns remain hidden when viewing closed-trade metrics alone.
Why It Matters
Signal-assisted grid models attempt to bridge the gap between complete automation and active charting by organizing market volume into actionable templates. By passing through Bybit VIP 3–VIP 4 fee structures, Arcanum Broker lowers transaction overhead for retail accounts that would otherwise fail to hit institutional volume thresholds. However, because individual execution choices dictate overall performance and isolated margin grids can tie up capital in multi-month drawdowns, trade profitability relies strictly on user risk management rather than the platform's proprietary strength score alone.
