Fund what's next.
Lock in founders pricing forever.
Stax is expanding — futures automation is in beta, new markets are coming, and the strategy marketplace is growing. This campaign funds that build. In return: pricing and access that will never be offered again.
Where the money goes: shipping futures automation to everyone (Tradovate & TopstepX), expanding the strategy marketplace, and keeping Stax independent — built by a trader, funded by traders. No investors, no equity, no strings. You're not buying a stake — you're buying the best deal Stax will ever offer, and helping decide what gets built next.

Across the three capped tiers. The Founders Badge is unlimited.
Put what you've already paid toward a founders tier
During the campaign, your recent subscription payments come off Founders Lifetime or Founders Year — Max. Enter the email on your subscription and we'll work out your price.
These dates don't move and won't be extended. When a step ends, its pricing is gone — that's the deal that makes founders pricing mean something.

The story so far — all real, all tracked
One builder, zero outside capital. These are cumulative, all-time numbers.
This community has backed Stax before
$132K of this journey came from members paying up front — founding licenses and lifetime seats — including a single $42,886 month.
V1 was funded by lifetime members. V2 gets funded by founders. That's the whole model: no VCs, no debt — traders funding the tools they trade with.
Built by one trader, in public
I'm Tyler Sanford — Marine Corps veteran, software engineer, and the person who writes every line of this platform. Stax started because I wanted my own trades managed properly and no broker would do it. Everything you see on this page was built and paid for the same way: by trading, and by members who bought in early.
There are no investors to answer to and no board setting a roadmap. That is exactly why this campaign exists — and why founders get a say in what ships next.
What members say
You can't beat the attention and responses by Stax. Have been with him since before this Discord went live and he's been nothing but helpful and truly wants success for everyone.
I first manually traded the options alerts for awhile and found them to be profitable. I then signed up for automation about 6 weeks ago and I have +20% ROI using a conservative strategy. The software works great and fills are good. Stax is very helpful and quick to make changes if they make sense to the group. Overall am very satisfied!
I've been trading the NQ using the etf-alerts-dailytrend. I trade using a $500K prop account with a $30K drawdown. Over the past week, I've been able to realize some success. My P/L is just over $38K, and if I can keep my nose clean, I should be eligible for a payout this weekend.
The Founders Wall
Every backer's name (or handle), permanently displayed inside the Stax app — the people who funded the build when it counted. Stax was bootstrapped by one trader; it gets to stay independent because of this list.

Common questions
Am I buying equity or a stake in the company?
No. Every tier is product access and community recognition only — there is no equity, no revenue share, no profit participation, and no security of any kind. You are pre-buying software at a price that will not be offered again.
What happens when a tier sells out?
It closes immediately and permanently. Seat counts on this page are live, and the seat is reserved the moment you start checkout, so two people can never buy the same last seat. If a tier is sold out, its button is disabled.
Will the dates be extended?
No. The campaign closes on the published date regardless of how many seats are left, and prices step up on the published date in between. There is no admin override to extend them — that's what makes founders pricing worth anything.
I'm already a member. Does that count for anything?
Yes. During the campaign, your recent subscription payments come off Founders Lifetime or Founders Year — Max. Enter your subscription email in the members panel above and it will work out your price. The credit applies once, to one tier.
What exactly does Founding Futures buy me?
Futures automation is already live on Tradovate and TopstepX. What this tier buys is the futures market add-on — the per-market fee every plan below Max will pay once multi-market billing ships — waived for you permanently, plus a direct say in what gets built for futures next. It stacks on whatever plan you hold now or move to later.
What if I need a refund?
Reach out and we will sort it out. Because these are seat-capped, a refunded seat goes back into circulation for someone else.
Founders tiers grant product access and community recognition only. They are not investments, securities, or financial instruments of any kind, and they carry no equity, revenue share, or profit participation. StaxInvesting LLC is not a broker-dealer or registered investment adviser.
