A model book for perpetuals. Published every 8 hours. You decide.
Imara publishes one model book for perpetual futures: which coins, which direction, what share of an account, where the stops are. It is the same for every reader. Imara never trades your account and knows nothing about it — what you do with the book is your decision.
Sign-up is closed right now: new accounts cannot be created. Existing members can sign in.
Testnet only (play money) for now: the published book and the receptor run on the exchanges' test networks, and nothing is on sale yet. Leveraged trading can lose money quickly; no returns are promised. Not offered to residents of the United States or the United Kingdom.

Why Imara
-
Published, not executed
One model book, the same for every reader. Imara never trades a customer's account.
-
You decide every run
With the receptor: all of it, some coins, or none — nothing is sent without your approval.
-
Testnet only for now
Play money on the exchanges' test networks: the book and the receptor are testnet only.
Read it. Check it. Decide.
Create an account
Sign in and read the current model book in the app — for Hyperliquid, Aster or Lighter.
See what it would mean for you
Place your own orders on the exchange, or run the receptor on your computer: it turns the published book into orders for your account — at the size you choose — and sends only what you approve.
You decide
With the receptor: at each 8-hour bar you approve all of it, some coins, or none. Without your approval nothing is sent.
One book per exchange, because each lists different markets.
The model only holds coins that are listed and liquid on the exchange. Thin markets are left out on purpose: a stop is only as good as the order book behind it. All three books are published for the exchanges' test networks.
Hyperliquid
The widest and deepest list of coins of the three.
Aster
Fewer liquid coins, so a shorter book. The account must be in one-way position mode.
Lighter
No trading fee on a free Lighter account. Its testnet lists only BTC, ETH and SOL.
A publication you can verify, on software you control.
Imara computes the model book on the close of each 8-hour bar and publishes it, signed — one generic book, identical for everyone. You can read it in the app and act by hand. Or a small program on your computer — the receptor — checks the signature and shows what following the book would send from your own account, with your own key. It sends nothing until you approve it in its window. Imara never sees your key, your balance or your positions.
With the receptor, nothing is sent without your approval.
You approve first
At each 8-hour bar the receptor lists what following the book would send. You approve all of it, some coins or none, and you can lower the size. The receptor has no automatic mode.
Your key stays with you
The receptor signs locally and never sends your key, balances or positions to Imara. Close the program at any time.
Verified or ignored
Every book carries a signature and a timestamp. A forged, altered or stale book is rejected — the receptor shows nothing rather than guess.
No personal advice
Imara publishes one generic book. It does not know your account, your finances or your goals, and it makes no recommendation to you.
Checked without an order
One self-test checks the book, your key and your balance, and shows what the next run would offer — without placing an order.
Play money for now
The published book and the receptor run on the test networks of the exchanges. The receptor refuses mainnet.

Straight answers.
Does Imara trade for me?
No. Imara publishes one model book, the same for everyone. It never trades a customer's account and knows nothing about yours. If you use the receptor, it runs on your own computer and sends an order only after you have approved it in its window.
Does Imara hold my money or my keys?
No. Your funds stay in your own exchange account and your keys stay on your computer. The receptor uses an API key made for trading and contains no function to withdraw or move funds. (On Lighter an API key can also withdraw, but only to your own wallet.)
What exactly is the model book?
A list published every 8 hours — within a few minutes after 00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 UTC — for each exchange: which coins the model holds, in which direction, at what share of an account, and where its stops and take-profit levels are. Between those times the model changes nothing.
What are the three products?
Book: read the published book in the app and place your own orders. Book + Receptor: a program on your computer shows what following the book would send from your account and waits for your approval at every run. Killer Licence: a compiled application with the engine itself, which runs on your own computer with your own settings — in preparation. All three are previews: nothing is on sale yet.
Can I use it with real money?
No. The published book and the receptor run on the test networks of the exchanges, with play money. One exception: Hyperliquid's testnet only gives play money to a wallet that has once deposited at least 5 USDC on the real Hyperliquid — that deposit is real money, outside Imara.
Can I lose money?
On testnet you use play money. In general: leveraged trading can lose money quickly, and trend models lose in sideways markets. A stop limits a position's loss but can fill at a worse price in fast markets, and several positions can be stopped out at once. No returns are promised.
Which computers does the receptor run on?
Windows 10 or 11, macOS and Linux. It is a small Python program; the setup guide in the app takes you through it in seven steps.
Read this before you act on the book.
- Leveraged perpetual futures can lose money quickly. You can lose some or all of the funds in your account.
- Trend following loses in sideways, choppy markets — sometimes for weeks. There is no guaranteed return. Simulated results are not a forecast.
- A stop limits losses but is not a guarantee: in fast markets it can fill at a worse price than its level.
- Imara is a general publication and software. It is not investment advice, not a personal recommendation and not an offer to manage money.
- Only risk money you can afford to lose.
- The published book and the receptor run on testnet (play money) for now. Nothing is on sale.
