Frequently asked questions
Short, direct answers to what new users ask most, grouped by topic. If yours is not here, email [email protected] or ask your account manager.
General use
Do I need trading experience to start?
No. The platform is built so that a complete beginner can get going, and your personal account manager explains each step. Be aware that not needing experience is not the same as not having risk. You can still lose money.
What do I need to begin?
You need to be 18 or over, living in Australia, with a valid photo ID, a mobile phone and an email address. You can start from $250. An account at a supported exchange is needed to connect the trading side.
Can I use the platform on my phone?
Yes. The dashboard works in a mobile browser and shows balances, alerts and reports. Some advanced settings are easier on a larger screen, and your manager can show you which.
Fees and results
What does it cost to use?
There is no monthly platform fee. Trading commission of up to 0.58% per transaction, currency conversion of up to 1.50% and spreads apply, and we show them before you confirm. The full list is on the Fees and pricing page.
Where can I see my fees?
Every fee that applies to a transaction appears on the confirmation screen before you approve it. Totals are in your reports. Your bank or card issuer may add its own charges, which we cannot see.
Is a profit guaranteed?
No. Nobody can guarantee a profit in trading. Results vary, past results do not predict future ones, and you may lose some or all of your deposit.
Features and using the platform
What does the automation actually do?
The system scans prices, volumes and volatility around the clock and, based on rules and models, places trades through your connected exchange. It does not need you to watch charts, but you keep control of the settings and can pause it at any time.
Can I change the settings?
Yes. You can choose trading pairs, trade sizes, alerts and limits. Your account manager can suggest a starting setup, and you can turn individual features on or off.
What alerts can I get?
Alerts cover large price moves, filled orders, volatility changes and security events. They go by email or in the app. Start with a few and add more as you learn what is useful.
Can I try before I use real money?
Yes. The simulator uses the same screens with no real funds, so you can learn how settings behave. Simulated results are only an illustration and usually look better than live results.
Risks
Can I lose money?
Yes. Digital asset prices are volatile, and automated strategies can lose as well as win. You can lose all of the money you deposit. See the Risk disclosure.
What happens in a very volatile market?
Risk controls can pause trading when conditions become extreme. They help in some situations but they cannot remove losses or promise that your capital is safe.
Security and your account
How do I keep my account safe?
Use a unique password, switch on two-factor sign-in and keep your exchange API key limited to reading and trading. Watch your login alerts and end any session you do not recognise. See Security.
Who holds my money?
Funds you trade with stay in your account at the exchange, which you control. Deposits to the platform follow the terms on the payments page. Digital assets are generally not covered by government deposit guarantees.
What if I lose access to my account?
Use account recovery on the sign-in page. We verify your identity, which can take a little time. Keep your 2FA backup codes in a safe place to avoid the delay.
Help and support
Who do I contact if something goes wrong?
Email [email protected] or call your account manager. For a complaint, follow the steps on the Complaints page.
What if I set something up wrongly?
Pause the strategy first, then ask your manager to review the settings with you. Most set-up mistakes are easy to correct, though trades already placed cannot be undone.
I do not understand a feature. Where do I look?
Start with the Getting started guide, then ask your manager. Do not guess with real money; use the simulator.
