Over the past 12 months, Bitcoin lost 34% of its value. At its worst point, it was down 53% from its peak. Anyone holding it rode the entire decline.
During the same period, iQ Bitcoin 40 earned 51% in live automated trading profits. The program didn't predict the drop. It didn't need to. Here's why:
1. It Trades Both Directions
Buy-and-hold only makes money when the price goes up. iQ Bitcoin 40 trade a basket of trend-following and momentum strategies that go long or short Micro Bitcoin futures (MBT). When Bitcoin trends lower, the short strategies can profit. When it rallies, the long strategies can. Bitcoin's big swings, in either direction, are the opportunity.
2. It Doesn't Sit in the Market
The average holding period is about two days. Instead of absorbing a months-long decline, the program takes short, defined-risk positions and then steps aside. Maximum risk on any position is about $1,200, or 3% of the suggested $40,000 funding level.
3. Its Returns Don't Follow Bitcoin
Because it trades both sides and holds briefly, Bitcoin 40 has low correlation with Bitcoin itself, with stocks (-0.08 to the S&P 500), and with other iQ programs. It adds a return stream that behaves differently from almost everything else you likely own.
What It Won't Do
Not every month is a winner. Trend strategies can struggle in choppy, sideways markets where no trend lasts long enough to capture. The program's largest historical month-to-month drawdown is 19.8%, and as with every strategy, its largest drawdown is likely still ahead. One strong year is not a promise of the next.
Who It's For
Bitcoin 40 can help:
- Investors who want to benefit from Bitcoin's volatility without betting on its direction
- Crypto holders looking for something that has proven it can generate gains when Bitcoin declines
- Equity-heavy investors looking for diversification from a genuinely different source of return
Suggested funding is $40,000 (minimum $30,000), and intro license pricing is $3,900 per year. Like all iQ autotrading programs, it trades futures, so its gains are tax-advantaged due to IRS Section 1256 tax treatment.

Returns are based on the suggested funding level and are not compounded. License fees are not included. Future drawdowns may exceed those reflected in historical results. Commodity trading programs offer significant potential rewards, but also carry significant risk and are not suitable for all investors. Past performance of any trading system or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results. You must be willing and able to accept these risks to participate in the futures markets.
