Perpetual futures rather than spot. Positions are leveraged and carry funding payments and a liquidation price — the funding stream is also what our one ratified strategy trades.
How to automate ETH step by step
- Create a BloFin API key with trading enabled and withdrawals disabled, then add it to your encrypted Axiom Finance vault.
- Pick the ETH/USDT market and configure a strategy — grid, breakout, funding fade or your own indicator rules.
- Backtest it, then run rolling walk-forward validation. If the strategy only worked on the data it was tuned on, the verdict says so.
- Run it in paper mode against live prices. Promote it to live capital only once you have seen how it behaves — and start small.
What our own research says about ETH strategies
We ran roughly 3.5 million backtests and published the failures alongside the one result that survived. These verdicts apply to the strategy families you can run here, and none of them is a forecast.
- For a programmable layer-1, the practical question is whether the perpetual market is deep enough for funding-based strategies. Where it is, that is the only family we ratified; where it is not, you are back to price-indicator rules, none of which survived our validation.
- Funding fade — the only edge we ratified. Fading extreme perpetual funding on BTC and ETH cleared realistic costs out-of-sample (pooled t = 3.36). It needs a perpetual futures market, so it does not apply to spot-only assets.
- Price-indicator strategies — no configuration we tested survived rolling multi-fold walk-forward validation. Single flattering backtests are exactly what walk-forward is there to catch.
- Drawdown Shield — a trend filter plus volatility targeting cut maximum drawdown by roughly 35-40% in backtests. It is a risk tool, it is backtest-only today, and it is not an alpha claim.

ETH: common questions
Can I automate ETH trading on BloFin?
Yes, if BloFin lists the market in your region. Axiom Finance places orders through the BloFin trading API using a trade-only API key you control. On BloFin the supported markets are: USDT-M perpetual futures. Order size is expressed in: Contracts, not base units.
Is it safe to connect my BloFin account to trade ETH?
Create the key with trading permission only and leave withdrawals disabled. BloFin issues these fields: API Key, Secret Key, Passphrase. Credentials are stored encrypted and are only decrypted to sign a request. Never share a wallet seed phrase or private key with any trading platform, including this one.
What happens if BloFin rejects a ETH order?
The rejection is read back from BloFin and recorded as a rejection rather than assumed to be a fill, so your trade history and analytics do not count failed orders as executed ones.
