Do I have to buy GMAX to watch it?
No. Follow @GMAXLIVE on Telegram to see every order, take profit, stop loss, profit and loss, total balance, profit factor and win rate from our own live $1,000 account. Watch first, research first, then decide.
How long has the strategy been backtested?
Our team has backtested the strategy on 8 years of historical market data. Our latest published report covers Oct 2024 to Jul 2026 across 96 coins and 7,338 trades, with an 86.41% win rate and a 1.337 profit factor.
Can I backtest GMAX myself?
Yes. You can run your own backtest of the strategy inside our Telegram bot. Our internal backtests show roughly 8% to 22% monthly returns across the tested periods.
Is GMAX profitable?

GMAX is engineered, hosted and strategy-designed by Paqu. The team is made up of 2 traders, 1 bot engineer and 2 customer support members.
Pricing and requirements
How much does the GMAX Trading Bot cost?
The bot costs $50 as a one-time payment, and your first month's server cost is included. From the second month there is a $10 monthly server fee.
Why is there a $200 minimum?
The $50 pays for the bot and activation, and the remaining $150 stays in your own exchange account as trading capital. The bot can technically run with less, but a $10 monthly server fee would be too big a share of a very small account.
What does the monthly server fee cover?
Each customer receives a separate server environment with multiple layers of security. The fee covers the infrastructure and electricity needed to run and maintain it.
What is included with GMAX?
You get the bot, monthly updates with bug fixes, improvements and new features, a strategy upgrade every 6 months, and 100% setup assistance from purchase to a running bot.
What do I need to use GMAX?
An Android phone or a PC, at least $200 of trading margin in your own exchange account, an exchange API key and secret, and a Telegram bot token and user ID.
Installing and running GMAX
How do I install GMAX on Android?
Install Termux from F-Droid, open it, paste the one-line setup command and wait 2 to 3 minutes. Then type startg to start the bot and enter your API keys on the Setup page. The full steps are in the install guide on the home page.
Why can't I use Termux from the Play Store?
The Play Store version of Termux is outdated and will not work correctly with GMAX. Use the F-Droid version.
How do I install GMAX on a PC or Mac?
Open your terminal, paste the one-line PC setup command and wait 1 to 2 minutes. You need Python 3.8 or higher. tmux and curl are installed automatically.
Does GMAX work on Windows?
Yes, through WSL2. Install WSL2 with Ubuntu, then run the setup command in the Ubuntu terminal. GMAX does not run in plain Windows CMD or PowerShell.
What are the GMAX commands?
startg starts the bot, stopg stops it, viewg shows live logs, gstatus checks whether it is running and updateg downloads the latest version.
How do I keep GMAX running on my phone?
Enable Acquire Wakelock in the Termux notification bar and disable battery optimization for Termux in Android settings. If Termux closes, reopen it and type startg.
Do I need a VPS?
No. GMAX runs on your own phone or PC. If you use a VPS, the bot runs 24/7 automatically.
How do I update GMAX?
Run updateg. It downloads the latest bot file and restarts the bot if it was running. Your saved API keys and settings are kept, so you do not need to reinstall.
