One idea, five tools: how CriptoFocus fits together
We trade a rules-based crypto system with real money, and we publish every closed trade, losers included. Everything else on this site exists for one reason: so you can protect your own money the same way, whether or not you ever follow us.
The one idea behind all of it: judge risk by the worst month first, and the return second.
Why it's built as a path
Most traders meet risk in the wrong order. They find a strategy, put money in, and learn about drawdowns during their first bad month. We think it should go the other way: understand the downside, measure your own, protect it, test your ideas honestly, and only then follow anyone. That's how we got to where we are, and it's the order the tools follow.
Step 1 · Learn: what a bad month really costs
- The Drawdown Playbook: seven short chapters, from maximum drawdown and why losses hurt more than gains help, to sizing for the bad day and writing your own drawdown brake. It ends with a one-page risk plan you fill in yourself.
- Plain answers: short definitions of drawdowns, the drawdown brake, liquidation and copy trading.
Step 2 · Check: your own numbers
- Drawdown recovery calculator: the gain any loss needs to get back to break even. A 50% fall needs +100%.
- Liquidation price calculator: how small a move ends a leveraged trade.
- Am I about to get wiped out?: your leverage and positions, checked against every day since 2021 on real Bitcoin and Ethereum prices.
Step 3 · Protect: a brake on your own account
- Guardian Lite (free beta, in Telegram, any exchange or wallet): you set three limits and send your account's total, and it alerts you when a total you send crosses one. No exchange keys.
- The automatic Guardian (planned): the same idea with a read-only key, so nobody has to remember to check.
- Drawdown alert lines for TradingView (planned): your own lines on any chart.
Step 4 · Test: your ideas, honestly
- Strategy Lab (planned): test the rules you choose honestly, with the coins that later died included, real fees counted, nothing borrowed from the future, and the worst drop shown first. We hold our own research to that standard where we can, and say plainly where it falls short: our own history leaves out coins that were later delisted, so it flatters.
Step 5 · Follow: a system with its brakes on
- The live record: our fund value and the state of our drawdown brake, updated every day, and every closed trade, added once its week ends, with every month on the record pages. It's designed to keep its worst drop inside 15%, never past Bybit Pro's 20% limit.
- Copy trading on Bybit (planned for 2027): once the record has earned it, you'll be able to follow the system in your own account. You keep your money and the stop button.

Why the waitlists
Each planned tool has its own waitlist, and each one promises a single email if it launches, nothing else. Waitlist demand decides which planned tool we build next. Joining is the quickest way to tell us which step you need next, and to get to where we are: a written-down plan, a brake that acts before you do, and a record you can check.
What we'll never sell
Our trading method stays private: which coins, when and how much. You'll never get our signals, and no tool contains our settings. What we share is the results, the protections and the tools to build your own. A tool that helps you judge risk is useful whatever you trade; a copy of someone else's signals only lasts until the market changes.
