In war you don't give your enemies a way to win. You must outright tell him you'd rather not give it away and that's it's on him to pull his own cash, unless he's willing to pay steeply, and I mean steeply (price him out) for the program itself.

Tell him you dont want to give him the code because you arent comfortable with doing it.

I know that feel anon. Now is not the time to make concessions though. That time is long past. You don't have to be rude to these people. You just can not bend over to them, because that's what they bank on. Their whole game is emotional manipulation and right now it seems like your coworker is winning.

OP what is he going to say to you?

"Stop being selfish"
You're right I should be more caring, I still dont want to give you the code

"You're going to regret this." (Intimidation)
That's true I might, I dont want too give you the code.

"Why do you feel uncomfortable about giving the code?"
Because that is how I feel and I still dont want to give you the code.

If you read the book I suggested you can find out more ways to fog and negatively inquire.

tell him it doesn't work anymore due to bitmex being possibly shut down. making it work on another exchange means re-writing it entirely, and you're not willing to do that
keep creating doubt in his mind about it, telling him that you wouldn't put your own money on the line, if he says he will, keep being passively concerned.
tell him that you tried to test deploy the code and it was hacked immediately and you lost the entire amount you put in
find some screenshots on twitter of people losing money on their trades, send them to him
tell him it's unsustainable
dude you really should explore the option of deterring him from using it entirely. start prepping yourself to deliberately NOT KNOW shit. say "it keeps doing x thing" "well how do we fix it?" "i can't figure it out, this doesn't work like i want it to".
or just tell him, "this is my proprietary code, my idea, my branding, and i don't want to do a business anymore, sorry". it's literally that easy. don't get pushed around for YOUR work

Say you are planning to sell it Because you have a buyer that would pay *insert amount* but the buyer wants exclusivity on the code. Price him out. Easy.
