Questions

Straight answers

Everything people actually ask before they start: what Samurex AI is, how the record is proved, which brokers fit, what it costs and what can go wrong. If your question is not here, ask us and we will add it.

The basics

What is Samurex AI?

Samurex AI is a software company. We build algo trading bots that connect to a brokerage account you already own and trade it according to written rules, without a person deciding each position.

What we are not: a broker, an investment firm, a fund, a portfolio manager or a trading platform. We license software. Your capital never leaves the account you opened at the brokerage you chose.

Past performance does not indicate future results. Trading carries a substantial risk of loss.
How is this different from the trading bots sold on forums?

Three things, mostly:

  • One mandate per engine. Four engines, each built for a single market rather than one script pointed at whatever you like.
  • The record comes first. Every execution streams to FXBlue and Myfxbook, platforms we neither own nor pay. You can read the history before you talk to us.
  • Risk is part of the strategy, not a setting. Stop distance, position size, a daily loss ceiling and a monthly drawdown halt are defined before an order exists, and no configuration removes them.

We also keep developing them. Markets change; a strategy frozen in 2022 is a liability by 2026.

Do I need trading experience?

No. The engines handle analysis, entry, sizing and exit end to end, and a complete beginner gets exactly the same execution as a professional. Every client gets a walkthrough call, help with the broker setup, and support from people who answer.

What experience does buy you is realistic expectations. If you have never watched an account fall 5% in a fortnight, read the drawdown figures on the track record page carefully before you start.

Experience or not, trading involves a substantial risk of loss. Only commit capital you can genuinely afford to lose.
Is Samurex AI regulated?

Samurex AI sells software and takes no custody of client money, so it is not a regulated financial-services firm and does not hold an investment licence in any jurisdiction. We do not give advice, manage portfolios or accept deposits.

The regulated party in your setup is your broker, which is where your money actually sits. That is why we push clients towards brokers regulated in their own country and why we will not pretend our software is a substitute for that protection.

Proof and verification

How do I know the results are real?

Because you do not have to take our word for any of it. Each engine runs a live account whose complete history — every entry, every exit, every losing day — is published in real time by independent tracking platforms. We cannot edit those records, delay them, or quietly drop an account that stopped performing.

Before you pay us anything, we hand over the links so you can read the history yourself.

What are FXBlue and Myfxbook?

They are the two most widely used independent verification platforms in algorithmic trading. Each connects directly to the brokerage account and mirrors its activity automatically:

  • FXBlue publishes the live trade feed, monthly profit and loss, and drawdown.
  • Myfxbook publishes verified account history, risk metrics and monthly breakdowns.

Both sit outside our control, and the data reaches them from the broker rather than from us. That is precisely why the industry treats them as the standard of proof.

Can I watch an engine before committing anything?

Yes, and we would encourage it. The verified accounts are public and live. Watch one for a week, a month or a quarter, compare the good months against the bad ones, and see how a drawdown was handled rather than how it was described.

Several of our longest-standing clients watched for months first. We consider that good judgement, not hesitation.

What happens to the record when an engine has a bad month?

It appears, in full, on the same page as the good ones, at the same time, with no annotation from us. That is the entire point of using auditors we do not control. If you find a record on this site that shows no losing months, treat it as a warning about the length of its history rather than the quality of the strategy.

Money, brokers and security

Do my funds stay in my control?

Always. Your money sits in your own brokerage account, in your name, at your chosen broker. The connection Samurex AI holds is trade-only:

  • It can place and close trades. That is the whole permission.
  • It cannot withdraw or transfer. Not "will not" — the connection has no such capability.
  • You can revoke it instantly from inside your broker, with no notice to us.
  • You see everything live in your own broker dashboard as it happens.
Which brokers are supported?

We integrate with brokers worldwide through MT4, MT5 and direct broker APIs. You choose the broker; we never push you towards a particular one and we take no rebate or introducing fee from your brokerage relationship.

Already with a broker we have not integrated? We build the connection. Because integration happens at API level this is a normal piece of work, usually a few days, and you never have to move your account to suit us.

Do you require a particular level of leverage?

No. Every engine runs on unleveraged accounts, and several of the audited records were produced at conservative leverage settings. Position sizing simply adapts to what your account allows.

Leverage magnifies a loss precisely as efficiently as it magnifies a gain. Choosing to run without it is a legitimate decision that we support properly rather than tolerate.

How fast is execution?

Orders leave for the broker in milliseconds. The platform talks to brokers through their own APIs with no copy-trading service in the path, and the engines run on low-latency servers positioned close to broker infrastructure.

After the order arrives, execution quality belongs to your broker: their liquidity, their spread, their fill. That is one more reason we spend onboarding time on which broker you use.

What do you do with my personal data?

As little as possible. We hold the details you give us to run your subscription and support you, plus ordinary web analytics. We never ask for your broker login password, and we never store your account balance beyond what sizing requires at the moment of a trade.

The full detail, including your rights under the GDPR and CCPA, is in the Privacy Policy.

Capital, costs and expectations

How much capital does one bot need?

To be precise about terms: this is your trading capital, money you deposit into your own brokerage account for an engine to trade. It is not a payment to Samurex AI.

We suggest USD 10,000 per engine. At that level position sizing stays proportionate, risk per trade lands where it is meant to, and an ordinary drawdown does not force a decision you would regret.

The full line-up
What results can I expect?

Honestly: unknown, and anybody who answers this differently is selling you something. What we can tell you is what each engine's audited account has actually averaged per month:

EngineVerified monthly return
Samurex Tandem+7.3%
Samurex Ember+7.7%
Samurex Harbor+9.3%
Samurex Mosaic+8.9%
These figures describe months that have already happened, and every one is verifiable on FXBlue. They are not targets, not forecasts and not a floor. Losing months occur, results vary between accounts, and trading is not suitable for everyone.
How is Samurex AI paid?

By subscription for the software licence. We are not paid a share of your profits, we take no commission on your trades, and we receive nothing from your broker. That matters more than it sounds: nobody here earns more when your engine trades more.

Current pricing is confirmed on the walkthrough call, because it depends on how many engines you run.

Can I lose money?

Yes. You can lose part of your capital, and with leverage you can lose more than you deposited. Automation removes emotional error; it does not remove market risk, and it adds technology risk of its own — outages, feed failures, a broker platform going down mid-position.

Ember, the longest record on this site, has losing months in its published history. The other three are younger — the shortest is 120 days — and a record without a losing month is a record that has not met one yet. Read the Risk Disclosure in full before you begin.

Can I change the risk settings?

Within limits, yes. Position size and which engines run are yours to set with your adviser. The structural brakes — the stop on every position, the daily loss ceiling, the monthly drawdown halt — are part of the strategy definition and are not configurable, because removing them changes what the engine is.

Getting started and stopping

How do I get started?

Three steps, and the first takes about half an hour:

  • Book the walkthrough. An adviser matches engines to your capital and risk tolerance, and hands you the audit links.
  • Connect your brokerage. Trade-only credentials from your own account; your funds stay where they are.
  • Let it run. The engine trades while you watch from your broker dashboard and the public record.

Start whenever you are ready — get in touch here.

How do I stop?

Three ways, none of which need our cooperation: revoke the credentials at your broker and the connection dies immediately; ask us to stand the engine down so it closes its positions in an orderly way; or close the positions yourself, because it is your account.

Cancelling the subscription is a separate step from disconnecting the engine. If you are leaving, do both.

Do you offer support after setup?

Yes. Email support reaches a person, typically within a day, and we cover weekends because markets do not stop being confusing on a Saturday. Onboarding consultations are by appointment. Contact details are on the contact page.

Still deciding? Ask a person.

A walkthrough call answers more in half an hour than any FAQ manages in a page, and nobody will push you towards a decision on it.
