Safety, Responsibility, and How Polyaxis Works
Polyaxis is professional-grade trading software.
It gives you powerful tools — and you stay in control.
This page explains what that means, in plain English.
Polyaxis is a software platform that helps you:
- view and analyze markets
- create conditional and automated trading rules
- submit your own instructions to third-party trading venues
- test strategies in simulation before using real funds
We build tools.
You decide how to use them.
Polyaxis is not:
- a trading venue or exchange
- a broker or dealer
- an investment advisor
- a market maker
- a custodian of funds
We don't hold your money.
We don't make decisions for you.
We don't promise outcomes.
You Are Always in Control
All activity through Polyaxis is based on your choices:
Polyaxis only carries out the instructions you configure, using permissions you grant.
About Automation (Important)
Automation is powerful — and it comes with responsibility.
When you enable automated trading rules:
- •they may trigger quickly or repeatedly
- •they may partially execute or fail due to market conditions
- •live trading may behave differently than simulations
Polyaxis does not monitor or intervene in your strategies.
We don't stop trades, limit losses, or adjust your rules.
If something happens, it's because a rule you created was triggered.
That's why we strongly recommend testing strategies in simulation first.
Paper Trading and Simulations
Polyaxis offers paper trading, backtesting, and sandbox tools so you can experiment safely.
These features are:
- hypothetical
- educational
- not predictive of live results
Live markets behave differently. Simulations are for learning — not guarantees.
Trading Venues and Jurisdictions
Polyaxis connects to independent third-party trading venues.
Each venue:
- sets its own rules
- determines who may use it
- operates independently of Polyaxis
It's your responsibility to understand a venue's terms and confirm that you're allowed to use it. Polyaxis does not verify eligibility or enforce geographic restrictions.
Fees and Incentives
Polyaxis charges subscription fees for access to its software tools.
In some cases, Polyaxis may also receive compensation from trading venues in connection with providing and maintaining technical integrations.
This compensation:
- is paid by the trading venue, not by you
- does not change the price you pay for Polyaxis
- does not require you to trade
- does not affect which venues you can use
- does not influence how orders are routed or executed
Polyaxis does not charge per trade and does not design the platform to encourage trading activity. Our incentive is to build reliable, useful software — not to influence trading decisions or outcomes.
Who Polyaxis Is For
Polyaxis is designed for users who:
- understand trading and market risk
- want precise control over strategies
- value transparency and flexibility
- prefer tools over advice
If you're looking for guaranteed results, automated profits, or someone else to manage risk for you, Polyaxis is probably not the right tool.
Our Commitment
We commit to:
We believe good tools support judgment — they don't replace it.
Final Thought
Polyaxis gives you leverage, not protection.
That's intentional.
If you're comfortable owning your decisions and want serious tools to execute them, you're in the right place.
