FAQ

Questions worth asking before you trade.

Straight answers, so you know exactly what you're getting.

Is AlgoThink profitable?

AlgoThink isn't a promise of returns — it's a tool. Every trade idea comes from tested, rule-based strategies and is shown to you with its full reasoning: entry, stop, target, how many strategies agree, and an independent AI review, so you can weigh the opportunity yourself. Every strategy is scored by walk-forward validation under realistic trading costs, and your dashboard shows each strategy's live validation status so you always know exactly what you're trusting. Markets change and no system guarantees future results, which is why every risk limit is yours to set and the final call on every trade is always yours.

Is this financial advice?

No. Every signal, suggestion, AI review, and statistic is an automated output provided for informational and educational purposes, not investment advice. You alone decide whether to act on any of it.

Do you hold my funds?

No — AlgoThink is non-custodial. Trading happens on the exchange account you already control, through API keys you create with trade permission only. We can place orders on your behalf; we can never withdraw your funds.

What if I lose my API keys or think they're compromised?

Revoke them on the exchange and remove them from your AlgoThink account at any time — both take effect immediately. Keys are stored encrypted, and because withdrawals are disabled on the keys you give us, the worst case is unwanted trades, not a drained wallet.

What's the difference between Free and Pro?

Free is a permanent tier: paper and live trading on 3 built-in strategies, full risk controls, charts, news, 2FA and alerts. Pro ($20/30 days) adds every strategy, AI trade reviews, up to 5 custom strategies, performance reports, and removes ads. Full breakdown on the pricing page.

How do I pay, and does it auto-renew?

You pay in crypto via a USD-denominated invoice. Nothing auto-renews — every purchase is a one-shot 30 days, and renewing early stacks onto your remaining time instead of wasting it.

How does the referral program work?

Every account gets a referral link from day one. Share it: whoever signs up through it gets 10% off their first purchase, and you get a 10% coupon every time they buy something — not just their first purchase. Neither reward expires, and there's no limit on how many people you refer. Where to find your link and redeem coupons: the referral guide.

Which exchanges can I trade on?

CoinEx, OKX, Binance, Bybit, Gate, Crypto.com and KuCoin all support live trading. LBank, MEXC Global and Hyperliquid are paper-trading only — each for a specific reason (missing derivatives API, retail order placement closed, or wallet-only auth) rather than being on a roadmap. Which of the live-capable venues you can actually pick depends on what the platform operator has enabled. Each venue has its own step-by-step connection guide.

Is it spot or futures trading?

Live trading is USDT-margined perpetual futures with isolated margin, not spot. Leverage is user-configurable up to a platform ceiling.

Which coins can I trade?

The watchlist covers 8 major pairs: BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, XRP, DOGE, LTC and ADA, all against USDT.

What is autonomous mode, and what protects me in it?

Autonomous mode auto-executes pending suggestions instead of waiting for your approval. Every hard risk limit still applies, you can restrict it to only strategies that passed out-of-sample validation, and you can pause it with the kill switch at any time — disabling it is never gated. Full walkthrough: using autonomous mode.

Does the AI place trades?

No. The AI only comments on signals that deterministic strategies already produced, giving an agree/neutral/disagree opinion. It never originates or executes a trade — that stays with the tested strategy logic and, ultimately, you.

What happens if the AI review is unavailable?

Trading keeps working with no AI at all — a suggestion without a review simply shows as "review unavailable" rather than blocking anything.

Do I need my own AI API key?

No. Pro includes AI reviews using the platform's key as a fallback. You can also add your own NVIDIA, OpenRouter, or Anthropic key if you'd rather control that usage directly.

Is two-factor authentication required?

It's available to every account and required before live trading can be armed. Trades themselves never prompt for a code once you're logged in. Enrolling takes a minute: setting up 2FA.

Can I start with no money at risk?

Yes — paper trading runs on a simulated balance you choose when you sign up, with realistic fees and slippage modeled, and no real funds involved.

What risk limits can I set?

Risk per trade, max position size, max daily loss, max drawdown, max portfolio risk, max trades per day, max open positions, max total notional, and max leverage — each enforced as a hard limit that blocks orders, not a suggestion. What each one does: setting your risk limits.

How often do new suggestions arrive?

Strategies run on hourly candles by default and a suggestion stays live for 60 minutes before it expires — so a quiet market can mean genuinely nothing to see, not a broken feed.

Why did I get no suggestions today?

New suggestions only appear after the next candle closes, and they're skipped when an open position already carries the same correlated exposure — both are the system working as designed, not an error.

How do I delete my account?

From your account settings — deletion cascades and removes your keys, positions, and stored settings.
