The Team

Josh Knepper
Portfolio Manager
A crypto trader since 2015, Josh Knepper designs and executes risk-managed trading systems that have successfully deployed over $4M through volatile bear markets. His multi-strategy system reallocates capital dynamically based on crypto cycles, on-chain signals, Bitcoin dominance, institutional flows, momentum, and liquidity. Built for predictability, his approach hedges without leverage or shorting, capturing asymmetric upside while tightly controlling risk.
