About The Service
What is Pulse Trade Labs?+
PTL is an algorithmic crypto trading signal service. We maintain a library of 30 trading strategies. Every 3 days, the optimizer evaluates the strategies against current market regime and selects the top performers to be active. The active strategies then deliver signals to members in real-time with full entry, stop loss, and take-profit levels.
Is this financial advice?+
No. PTL provides algorithmic signals based on technical analysis for educational purposes only. You make all trading decisions yourself. We are not registered investment advisors. Nothing on this site or in any signal constitutes a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. Trading cryptocurrency involves significant risk of loss.
How is PTL different from other Patreon signal services?+
Three things make PTL different. First, we use 30 strategies that rotate based on market regime rather than one approach forced onto every condition. Second, every signal is logged publicly with full outcome data — wins and losses alike. Most services hide losses. Third, we integrate with Bitunix copy trading so signals can execute automatically. You don't have to watch charts or click anything.
How many signals do you fire per week?+
Typically 5-10 signals per week on the 4H timeframe (available to all tiers), and an additional 3-5 signals per week on the 1H timeframe (Edge and Lab tiers only). The exact number depends on market conditions — fewer in choppy/ranging markets, more in trending markets. We don't artificially manufacture signals to hit a quota.
Pricing & Billing
What are the membership tiers?+
Three tiers:
- The Signal — $40/mo: 4H signals, full levels, push notifications, dashboard, weekly summary
- The Edge — $65/mo: Adds 1H signals, strategy attribution, regime analysis, Discord, copy trade setup
- The Lab — $100/mo: Adds priority delivery, all strategy names, private Discord, custom watchlist, direct access
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Cancel directly from your Patreon account at any time. No contracts, no minimum commitment, no cancellation fees. Your access continues through the end of your paid billing period, then ends.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?+
Yes. If you join PTL and we don't fire a single signal in your first 7 days, we'll refund you in full. Beyond that, since the system runs systematically and every signal is logged publicly, we don't offer refunds for poor trading outcomes — but you can cancel anytime to stop future billing.
How does Patreon billing work?+
When you click "Join Now", you're redirected to Patreon. You select your tier, enter payment info (card, PayPal, or other Patreon-accepted methods), and Patreon charges you immediately. After payment, you're sent back to PTL where the system verifies your tier and gives you dashboard access. Patreon handles all the billing — we never see your card.
Can I upgrade or downgrade tiers?+
Yes. Tier changes are managed through your Patreon account. Upgrades take effect immediately (you'll be charged the prorated difference). Downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle.
Signals & Trading
What information comes with each signal?+
Every signal includes: trading pair (e.g. BTC/USDT), timeframe (4H or 1H), direction (long or short), entry price, stop loss, three take-profit targets (TP1, TP2, TP3), confidence score (0-95), and — for Edge and Lab tiers — the strategy attribution showing which strategies fired the signal and why.
What's a good win rate to expect?+
Realistic expectations: 60-75% win rate over rolling 4-week periods. Some weeks will be much higher (80%+), some weeks lower (50-60%). What matters more than win rate is profit factor — the ratio of total wins to total losses. PTL targets a profit factor above 2.0x, meaning wins are at least 2x larger than losses on average.
What pairs do you trade?+
12 primary pairs: BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, ADA, AVAX, DOT, MATIC, LINK, ATOM, NEAR — all paired against USDT. Lab tier members can submit a custom watchlist of 3 additional coins they want the engine to scan specifically.
What leverage should I use?+
Each signal includes leverage tier recommendations: Spot 1x (lowest risk), Experienced 3-5x (moderate risk), Aggressive 10x (high risk). The recommended tier depends on signal confidence and current market volatility. We strongly recommend starting with Spot 1x until you understand how the signals behave for your account size.
How much risk per trade should I use?+
Standard recommendation: 1-2% of your account per trade. Our published ROI calculations assume 2% risk. Never risk more than you can afford to lose. The signals have stop losses for a reason — use them.
Copy Trading
Do I need to use Bitunix?+
No. You can execute signals on any exchange you prefer — Binance, Bybit, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, anywhere. Bitunix is just recommended because PTL has an official Lead Trader profile there, allowing fully automated copy trading. You don't need an account anywhere specific — the signal levels work on any exchange.
How does Bitunix copy trading work?+
PTL operates a Lead Trader profile on Bitunix. When you connect your Bitunix account and follow our profile, every trade we execute is automatically copied to your account proportionally to your configured copy size. You set the parameters (copy size, max risk, stop loss adjustments) and the system handles execution. You can pause or unfollow at any time.
Does PTL have access to my funds?+
No. Funds remain in your Bitunix account at all times. PTL never touches your money. Bitunix's native copy trading infrastructure handles the copying — we just publish trades from our Lead Trader account. You retain full control of your account, can withdraw anytime, and can stop copying with one click.
Is there a fee for copy trading?+
Bitunix charges followers 10% of their profit on copied trades (no fee on losing trades — you only pay on wins). This is paid directly to PTL through Bitunix's infrastructure. Beyond that, you'll pay Bitunix's standard trading fees on each executed trade.
Technical & Account
How do push notifications work?+
On your member dashboard, click "Enable Alerts" to subscribe your browser to push notifications. The moment a signal fires, your browser receives a notification with the pair, direction, and a link to view full levels. Works on Chrome, Firefox, Safari (with iOS limitations), and Edge.
What if I'm new to crypto trading?+
Start with The Edge tier ($65/mo). It includes the Bitunix copy trading setup guide so signals can execute automatically on your account while you learn. Watch how the system works, read the strategy attribution to understand what's happening, then graduate to manual trading when you're comfortable.
Do you have a Discord server?+
Yes — but access is for Edge and Lab tier members only (not Signal tier). Discord includes signal discussion channels, weekly voice review sessions, and direct community interaction. Lab tier members also get a private channel for direct access to the founder.
