Whale tier features

The whale tier is built for traders running real capital. It's our most expensive plan ($499/mo) because supporting live execution costs more than supporting paper trading — both in infrastructure and in how carefully we review every change.

Live executor

A dedicated, single-replica executor sits between your bots and the exchange. It:

  • Loads your exchange key from storage encrypted with an AES-GCM master key that exists only on the executor host (not in the DB, not in git, not in CI)
  • Rate-limits per venue and per account, with surge breakers that halt orders if 3+ consecutive fills deviate from expected slippage
  • Writes an immutable audit log (user id → bot id → order id → venue tx id) that we preserve for at least 24 months
  • Refuses to start if the global WHALE_LIVE_ALLOW switch is off — so the ops team can hard-kill live trading during an incident without touching the database

Venues

Today: Bybit (spot, USDT-M futures), Binance (spot, USDT-M futures). Coming next: OKX, Bitget. We only add venues whose REST + WebSocket API we've driven in production for ≥30 days.

Encrypted key storage

Keys are encrypted before they touch the database — our DBAs cannot read the secret even with a full dump. The master key rotates on demand; rotation re-encrypts every row without downtime.

Advanced risk dashboard

  • Per-bot Value-at-Risk at 95% and 99% over a rolling 30-day window
  • Portfolio-level stress tests (2020 COVID flash, 2022 Luna, hypothetical −30% BTC in 24h)
  • Realised vs expected slippage per venue, so you can spot venue degradation before it eats your edge

Whale-only signal room

A Telegram group where TMIYC staff share high-conviction setups in real time, usually paired with a macro catalyst from the calendar. 0–5 posts per day; we'd rather be quiet than noisy.

SLA

Support tickets from whale accounts have a 2-hour SLA. We page a human via PagerDuty if you ping urgent outside business hours — expect a reply within 30 minutes.

2FA is mandatory

You cannot activate the whale tier without 2FA enrolled. See Security best practices.
