Why Algotoria, and how do I choose between Classic Diversified and Classic Stable?

Algotoria is a BVI-licensed Approved Investment Manager (Certificate IBR/AIM/25/2214) running a fully systematic long–short programme in liquid cryptocurrency perpetual futures since October 2023. Four properties set us apart from a typical crypto manager:

  • Non-custodial. Every client funds a Separately Managed Account in their own name at Binance, OKX or Bybit. Algotoria holds a trade-only API key — never custody, never withdrawal rights. An exchange failure hurts you; an Algotoria failure cannot move your assets.
  • Performance-only fees. Zero management fee, zero entry fee, no lock-in. We charge a 25–30% quarterly success fee against a rolling high-water mark — and we charge nothing until prior losses are recovered. The co-founders run roughly $2.47 M of their own capital in the same strategies under the same terms.
  • Independently verifiable. The live track record is streamed to TradeLink Passport via a read-only exchange API. Every figure on this site is reproducible from data we do not control.
  • AI-native operating model. The trading signals are rules-based and Investment Committee–approved; AI is not used in trading decisions. But every operational function — compliance, risk reporting, investor support, software development — runs through AI-assisted workflows under human-in-the-loop oversight. That keeps the cost base lean and structurally supports the 0% management fee.

Algotoria Classic, the live family, offers two strategies, both running the same algorithmic engine and the same trend-following / counter-trend mix — 66% / 34% as at 31 August 2026, reset each quarter by the Investment Committee within a 50–100% / 0–50% range according to the market regime — across 10 to 50 uncorrelated sub-strategies on BTC, ETH and liquid altcoin perpetual futures (a mandate of up to 40 instruments; 11 in the current book).

Algotoria also runs a second, next-generation family, Algotoria Spike, which is pre-production and simulated; see What is Algotoria Spike? below.

  • Algotoria Classic Diversified — collateral is BTC, approved stablecoins and RWAs, managed by Algotoria. Target gross CAGR above 120% at the 35% drawdown budget, target Calmar above 3.5, budget customisable between 15% and 35%.
  • Algotoria Classic Stable — collateral is approved stablecoins, including USDT, USDC, RLUSD, OKUSD and USDG. Target gross CAGR above 90% at the 30% drawdown budget, target Calmar above 3.0, budget customisable between 10% and 30%. For stablecoins other than USDT, the account may borrow USDT against them to open USDT-margined perpetual positions, and the borrowed USDT accrues interest at the exchange’s rate, borne by the account; yield-bearing stablecoins (RLUSD, OKUSD, USDG) typically earn more than this cost. USDT collateral carries no such cost.

The minimum allocation is the same for both ($50 k / $100 k / $150 k by risk tier). Both use the NAV-based method for the success fee (AMA §1.1.18(a)); the Isolated USDT method (§1.1.18(b)) applies only to Custom-Collateral accounts. See the side-by-side comparison on the Classic Family before you choose.

How is performance measured? Why does my exchange dashboard show a different number?

Daily time-weighted returns (TWR) with compounding, computed from the unrealised margin balance of each strategy's reference portfolio, denominated in USDT and rebased to 0.00% on 1 January 2024 for the public chart. TWR is the industry-standard methodology that eliminates the distortive effect of capital movements (deposits and withdrawals) on the percentage return. Exchange dashboards (OKX, Binance, Bybit) use simplified estimation methods that do not properly handle transfers, so their headline percentage will differ. The absolute dollar-denominated P&L on the exchange dashboard remains correct; only the percentage is affected.

How can I independently verify the live track record?

Via TradeLink Passport, which streams each strategy's reference portfolio through a read-only exchange API. Links to the Classic Diversified and Classic Stable portfolios are on the Classic Diversified and Classic Stable pages. On request, Algotoria will additionally provision read-only API keys to your designated auditor or verification platform, giving direct access to the full trade history and daily return series on the underlying exchange accounts — so you can reconstruct and verify every published metric without relying on firm-generated reports.

What is the fee structure, and how does the high-water mark work?

Zero management fee, zero entry fee. A quarterly performance fee of 25–30% (tiered by allocation size) on Net Trading Profits above a rolling high-water mark. Formula: P = E − MAX(B, HW) − I, where E is the ending balance, B is the starting balance, HW is the rolling high-water mark, and I is net inflows/outflows. If the account falls below the HWM, no fees are levied until the deficit is fully recovered through trading gains. Clawbacks are explicitly not applied. Classic Diversified and Classic Stable both use the NAV-based variant (AMA §1.1.18(a)); the Isolated USDT variant (§1.1.18(b)) applies only to Custom-Collateral accounts. Fee tiering is documented in Exhibit 1 of the Asset Management Agreement.
