Block Research builds crypto and stock trading bots that run on the same capital we ask customers to trust. No affiliate marketing masquerading as advice. No marketplace of overfit templates. One researched strategy, one execution engine, and the honest tradeoffs we share publicly.
I am Timo, founder and head of research at Block Research. I have been trading and running automated systems since 2017, three full crypto cycles of live execution on real capital. Block Research exists because the trading bot space is dominated by either black boxes or affiliate marketing, and neither serves a serious trader.
The work I am known for: Smart Safety Orders, the volatility adaptive DCA design that powers vyn premium. Mean-reversion entries on each safety order, not fixed percentage ladders. The 3-second webhook response invariant inside SignalPipe. The strategy plus execution combined product positioning that none of the bridge-only competitors match.
When the product is the wrong fit for a reader I tell them plainly. We publish honest comparisons against Pionex, 3Commas, Cryptohopper, Bitsgap, Gunbot. We name where they win. We name where we win. We do not run an affiliate program because the incentives are bad for the reader.
Find us on YouTube and Discord. The Discord is open to anyone running real money on a bot.
Started running automated trading on personal capital, learned the gap between backtest and live execution the expensive way.
Formalized the company. Began publishing research and tooling for retail algorithmic traders.
First commercial release of our researched strategy with Smart Safety Orders, volatility-adaptive DCA, and mean-reversion entries.
Built the webhook execution engine to route TradingView alerts to Alpaca, Capital.com, and 3Commas with idempotent retries and the 3-second response invariant.
Made our no-code TradingView strategy builder free so beginners can learn bot mechanics before paying for vyn premium.
vyn premium now runs the same underlying logic across crypto, US stocks via Alpaca, and global CFDs via Capital.com.
Every strategy we sell is the same strategy we run on company capital. If vyn premium drawdowns, we drawdown. Skin in the game is not a marketing line.
We publish detailed comparisons against Pionex, 3Commas, Cryptohopper, Bitsgap, Gunbot. We name where they win. We do not collect affiliate revenue from any of them.
vyn premium is one researched strategy, not ten templates. We do not ship a marketplace because marketplaces select for marketing, not robustness.
If vyn premium is the wrong fit, we refund. The risk on the software purchase should be ours, not yours.
block algo flex is free with every account. Not a trial, not a teaser. The path for traders who want to learn the mechanics before paying for a finished system.
If your trading capital is small, vyn premium is the wrong product. We say so on the pricing page. Start free, scale up later, that is the responsible path.
