Systematic trading research and performance tracking
Guardian TradeBot is an internal trading system developed by Illuminatek Ltd for its own use. It combines automated execution, predefined trade-management rules and performance monitoring. This website documents the system’s development, research and recorded trading results.
About this website
This website provides information about Illuminatek’s own trading activity and software development. Guardian TradeBot is not available for public purchase, and this website does not offer signal subscriptions, account management or opportunities to invest in the company.
The material explains how the system operates, how results are calculated and what is learned through testing and live use. It is not a recommendation to trade or to copy the system’s activity.
Risk management
The system uses position limits, stop-loss instructions and automated monitoring to manage exposure. These controls aim to reduce risk but cannot guarantee an exit price, prevent every loss or protect funds against exchange failures, security incidents and other operational problems.
Trading cryptoasset derivatives involves substantial risk, including the possibility of losing all capital committed.
Development and testing
Guardian TradeBot combines signal generation, filtering, trade management and performance monitoring. Changes are assessed using historical analysis and observations from live trading.
Backtests have limitations, and improvements in historical results may not carry through to live performance. Strategies and execution rules remain subject to review as further data becomes available.
Performance reporting
The website publishes recorded returns, drawdowns and other metrics alongside explanations of the calculation methods. Results should be read together with the assessment dates, changes in capital allocation and any exclusions or adjustments described on the performance pages.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
Current research focus
The system currently trades SOL-USDC perpetual futures for Illuminatek’s own account. Research focuses on signal behaviour, execution, trading costs and risk management within this market.
This focus describes the company’s internal activity. It is not a recommendation to trade Solana, derivatives or any particular exchange.
Strategy research
The research includes strategies that respond to rising, falling and ranging markets. Different approaches can perform differently as conditions change, and both long and short trades can incur losses.
Working with one market allows the development process to concentrate on a defined dataset and execution environment. It does not remove uncertainty or ensure profitability.

An ongoing development record
This website serves as a record of the project’s progress, setbacks and findings. The purpose is to document the system and its results accurately as development continues.
