How we make money, and what it costs you
Subscriptions, exchange partner programmes (the exchange pays us from its own fee; you pay the same or less), the one exception on Hyperliquid, and why we never touch your trading funds.
Your trading money never comes here
PatternXRadar is non-custodial software. Your funds sit on your exchange. The platform sends orders with an API key that you create with trade-only permission: it cannot deposit, withdraw or transfer. Keys are stored encrypted under a password only you know. Nobody from us will ever ask you to send trading funds anywhere.
The only money that reaches us is what you pay for the service: plans and the trial, paid through our own BTCPay Server in Bitcoin (on-chain) or USDT (TRON or Ethereum). Your account has a wallet for that purpose only: it holds the top-ups you make and your referral rewards, and pays your invoices and renewals. It is not a trading balance, it cannot be withdrawn, and it never funds trades. See Wallet and auto-renewal.
Two sources of income
1. Subscriptions. The plans on the pricing page. Every plan has every feature; they differ only in the number of coins. See Plans and limits.
2. Exchange partner programmes. Exchanges pay partners for bringing them traders. When you open an exchange account through our link, or trade through the platform on an exchange where we are a partner, the exchange pays us a share of the fee it charges you anyway. You pay the exchange the same as you would directly; with the link you often get a fee discount on top. Nothing is added to your orders, your statements show the exchange's normal fees, and the platform works identically whether you used our link or not.
The one exception: the Hyperliquid builder fee
If you connect a Hyperliquid account, Hyperliquid lets the app that built an order attach a small builder fee, charged by the exchange on that order. For you this means:
- it is off until you approve it, on every account;
- the app shows the exact rate and the receiving address before you approve;
- you can revoke it in the app or on hyperliquid.xyz at any time;
- orders are never blocked because you declined it.
If you trade Hyperliquid through a third-party terminal, that terminal's own fee terms apply; PatternXRadar adds nothing on top.
Why we tell you this
A trading tool that earns from exchanges has an incentive to make you trade more. We would rather say so than hide it: every call still shows its stop and its expected result after costs, and the demo account lets you judge the signals at live prices before you risk anything. Past results, including backtests, do not guarantee future ones; see the risk notice.
