A decade of research. One mission: better decisions in financial markets

More than ten years ago, our team came together around a question: can data, superforecasters and machine learning help us make better decisions in the market?

Since then, we've built several products and invested over $10M in quantitative research and technology. That work now powers Stoic AI, with live trading since 2020.

    Year Cindicator was founded

We built Stoic so you can put systematic strategies to work without constantly watching charts or letting emotions drive every decision.
Mike Brusov Mike Brusov Co-founder & CEO

Stoic AI solves a simple problem: developing and consistently executing a reliable strategy is difficult. We build quantitative, data-driven models designed to replace guesswork and emotional reactions with a systematic approach.

  • Built by researchers, not assembled from a marketplace.

    Every Stoic strategy is developed by quant researchers, data scientists and risk experts using rigorous quantitative research and risk management methods. We build and operate the strategies ourselves.

  • Rules over reactions.

    Stoic AI turns market data, model signals and predefined rules into automated portfolio decisions. Strategies rebalance as conditions change, so you don't have to monitor every market move or make every decision manually.

  • A process for changing markets.

    Our risk rules, informed by years of historical research, provide a consistent framework for managing exposure. They don't eliminate drawdowns or guarantee outcomes, but they make the response to changing conditions systematic rather than improvised.

The work behind Stoic AI

We didn't start out building a trading bot. Our early work focused on collective forecasting, which eventually brought us into quantitative crypto trading. After running our own crypto fund, we began turning that experience into automated strategies that people could use through Stoic AI.

Your funds stay on your exchange

We can't access your funds — ever. Stoic AI connects via read-and-trade API keys, meaning we execute trades but cannot withdraw. Your assets stay in your exchange account under your control.

  • Your API permissions

    Only read and trade access is required — no withdrawals ever

  • Encrypted storage

    API keys are stored in a closed, encrypted system

  • Revoke access anytime

    You create the API key in your exchange and you delete it — access ends the moment you remove it

  • Verify every trade

    Every order Stoic AI places shows up in your own exchange account, so you can check what runs on your portfolio

Questions clients ask before trusting us with a portfolio

  • Stoic AI is built by Cindicator, a quantitative research and technology company founded in 2015 by Mike Brusov and Yuri Lobyntsev. Our team has spent more than a decade researching financial markets, machine learning and systematic strategies. That work now powers Stoic AI, with live trading since 2020.
  • No. Stoic AI connects to your exchange account using API keys with read-and-trade permissions. These permissions allow us to read account data and place trades, but not withdraw funds. Your assets remain in your own exchange account, and you can revoke access by deleting the API key.
  • Stoic AI strategies have been trading with client funds since March 2020. Our live trading history covers multiple market conditions, including the 2021 market highs, the 2022 downturn and the subsequent recovery. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
  • Stoic AI supports six exchanges: Binance, Bybit, Coinbase, KuCoin, Crypto.com and Hyperliquid. You keep your account on your chosen exchange and connect it to Stoic AI through an API key.
  • Stoic AI offers several systematic strategies designed for different market approaches:
    • Stoic AI Crypto Index — for diversified exposure to the crypto market.
    • Meta — a market-neutral strategy designed to seek returns independently of overall market direction.
    • BTC Yield — for users looking to generate yield on bitcoin they already hold.
    • Fixed Income — a strategy focused on carry-based returns rather than directional market exposure.
    Visit our strategy fact sheets for details on each strategy, including its approach, risks and historical performance.
  • Stoic AI strategies use predefined rules and risk management processes to respond to changing market conditions. However, all strategies involve risk, and losses, including significant drawdowns, are possible. Historical performance does not guarantee future results. Review each strategy's fact sheet to understand its approach and risk characteristics.
