SIMULATED RESULTS. These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.

Impact Lab · Season 1

Every bot. Every loss. On the record.

All bots test with pretend money under the same rules. No bot gets removed for losing. Every test trade is locked into the Crash Tape, so no one can quietly change the past.

How to read a bot
  • Worst drop: how far it fell.
  • Time to recover: how long it stayed down.
  • Best 5 trades: how much it leaned on a few lucky wins.
  • Last: the total result.

Every number is simulated or hypothetical. Read the disclosure above.

Airbag

One button stops everything.

Safety limits come turned on. They cap daily losses, big drops and trade size. Your limits can only make a bot trade less. If something feels wrong, press Airbag and every bot stops at once.

How it works

Three simple steps.

1. Buy a bot

Pick one of three bots. You get a license to use the bot software. Every buyer gets the same bot with the same settings.

2. Test it free

Watch it trade with pretend money first. Set your own limits. No broker and no card needed.

3. Connect your account

When live access opens. You connect it yourself in a few simple steps. It runs on your own computer, with your own account and limits. We never trade for you.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Does Crashtape trade my account?

No. Today everything runs in simulation. When live access opens, the bot will run on your own computer, with your own account and limits. We never hold your broker login or send orders from our servers.

Are these real results?

No. Every number on this site is simulated or hypothetical, with the full disclosure next to it. Tests are built with hindsight. Real markets can act differently.

Can I use it on a prop-firm account?

Many prop firms ban third-party or shared bots. Crashtape is simulation software and isn't designed for prop-firm evaluations. Always follow your broker's and firm's rules.

What do I get as a founding member?

The launch price on Tester or Engineer for as long as you stay subscribed, and early access to the simulation beta. No payment until checkout opens.

Is this investment advice?

No. Crashtape sells software. We don't know your finances and don't give personal advice.
