Common questions

What is Drift? A private instrument that watches crypto exchanges for moments when prices disagree, then tests with paper money whether those gaps could really have been traded after fees and delays. Its job is to measure honestly before anyone risks a real dollar.

Is any of this real money? No. Every trade is simulated against real market prices. Drift has no code that can place a real order, and a check in its build fails if anyone tries to add one.

How do I see it without an account? On the sign-in page, tap Try the demo. You can open every page — Overview, Signals, Modules, Readiness, Funds, Actions, System and Settings — with a sample of Drift's paper data. Tap Leave the demo at the top of any page to go back.

Why can't I change anything in the demo? The demo is read-only on purpose: the settings form is switched off, and the site refuses any request to run a scan or save a setting while you're in the demo.

Why do the demo's dates look recent? The sample is a snapshot of real paper data, shifted so its newest moment is "now". Prices, sizes and results are exactly as measured; only the clock is moved.

What do "M3" and "M5" and "Retired on 18 Sep 2026" mean? Drift ran several experiments ("modules"). M3 (Polymarket) and M5 (Kalshi) were switched off on 18 Sep 2026 after their answers were in. Their pages stay under Modules so the results remain readable.

What is a basis point? One hundredth of a percent: 10 bps = 0.10%. Drift reports most edges this way.

Is this financial advice? No. Drift is a measurement tool, and nothing it shows is a recommendation to trade.
