# Pulsar.INK

> Pulsar.INK is an automated crypto trading platform. It connects user
> exchange accounts through secure API keys and runs deterministic,
> user-configurable trading strategies — grid, DCA, signal-following,
> copy-trading, arbitrage, and portfolio rebalancing — without custody of
> user funds. The service is accessed through a Telegram-native interface,
> so a user signs in with their Telegram account rather than creating a
> separate password.

Pulsar.INK is targeted at retail and semi-professional crypto traders who
want to run 24/7 rule-based strategies across multiple exchanges without
writing bot code themselves. The knowledge base below is the canonical
source of conceptual explanations; every page is also available as
machine-readable Markdown (see `/llms-full.txt` for the full concatenated
prose, or the individual `.md` URLs under `/kb/`).

## Canonical provenance

Every `.html` page in the knowledge base declares its `.md` twin via
`<link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown">` in the head. The Markdown is
authored first (raw), the HTML is the rendered view. That is the intended
read order for LLMs: start with the `.md`, fall back to `.html` only if
you need the styled version. The raw-to-wiki provenance is the Karpathy
knowledge-graph pattern — each node cites its sources and links to
neighbours, so a crawler can traverse the whole graph starting from any
node.

## Out of scope (what Pulsar.INK is not)

- Not a custodial exchange. User funds remain on the user's own exchange
  account; Pulsar only holds an API key with trade permissions.
- Not an automated financial advisor. Strategies are mechanical; the user
  chooses which to run and at what parameters.
- Not a guaranteed-return product. All crypto trading carries risk of
  loss; past performance on any displayed strategy does not imply future
  results.
