Getting started

What is TradeVelocity AI?

TradeVelocity AI is an AI-driven crypto trading-signal platform. Our engine analyses 21 major cryptocurrency markets across multiple timeframes and publishes specific entry, stop-loss, and take-profit price levels in real time. Subscribers receive signals via dashboard, email, Telegram, and (planned) WhatsApp. We are an information-publishing service — we don't hold customer funds, don't connect to exchanges, and don't place trades on your behalf. #what-is-tradevelocity-ai

How do I get started?

Visit tradevelocity.ai/pricing, choose a plan, complete the email-verified checkout, and you'll receive a password-setup link the moment payment confirms. From sign-up to your first signal: typically under 5 minutes. If you'd rather try first, request a free demo at tradevelocity.ai/register — the team reviews demo requests and approves qualified applicants within 24-48 hours. #how-do-i-get-started

Can I try TradeVelocity AI for free?

Yes — we offer a free demo via application. Submit your details at tradevelocity.ai/register, verify your email, and the team reviews your request. Approved applicants get time-limited access to a chosen plan tier with no payment required. Demo applications typically receive a decision within 24-48 hours. #can-i-try-tradevelocity-ai-for-free

What do I need to use TradeVelocity?

A web browser and an account at any major crypto exchange where you intend to execute trades. We don't connect to your exchange — you manually place trades based on the signals you receive. A Telegram account is optional but recommended for instant signal delivery on mobile. #what-do-i-need-to-use-tradevelocity

Is TradeVelocity legitimate?

Yes. We're an EU-based information-publishing service operating since 2025. We're transparent about our methodology, performance, and limits — including the explicit acknowledgement that crypto trading is high-risk and past performance does not guarantee future results. We do not promise returns, do not require you to deposit funds with us, and never ask for exchange API keys or passwords. Read our full Terms of Service and Risk Disclosure before subscribing. #is-tradevelocity-legitimate

Performance & metrics

Why does win rate matter less than risk-to-reward ratio?

A 90% win rate sounds great until your average loss is bigger than your average win — you can win 9 out of 10 trades and still lose money. What matters is expectancy: average winner times win rate, minus average loser times loss rate. A 50% win rate with winners that are twice the size of losers is more profitable than a 70% win rate where wins barely cover losses. Always look at win rate AND the average R-multiple together. #why-does-win-rate-matter-less-than-risk-to-reward-ratio

What does "24-hour delayed" mean on the performance page?

Every signal shown on /performance was closed at least 24 hours ago. This protects active subscribers — fresh signals stay exclusive to paying customers, and only outcomes that have fully settled appear publicly. The delay also prevents anyone from front-running your edge by scraping the public page. #what-does-24-hour-delayed-mean-on-the-performance-page

Why is a "breakeven" trade counted as a win?

Once a trade hits TP1, the engine moves the stop-loss above your entry (a small positive offset). If the trade then reverses and stops out, it closes at a small profit — not a true breakeven. Calling these "wins" is the honest accounting because you walked away with money, not because we are inflating the win rate. Pure scratches (entry filled then stopped at exact entry) almost never happen with this setup. #why-is-a-breakeven-trade-counted-as-a-win

What is a realistic monthly return I could expect?

There is no honest single number. Returns depend on your starting capital, the percentage you risk per trade, how many signals you actually take, and market conditions during that month. The /performance page shows real outcomes per trade — multiply average R per trade by the number of signals you take, then by your risk percentage. If average R is +0.27R and you take 30 signals risking 1%, that is roughly +8% in the month if conditions hold. Past months will not perfectly predict future months. #what-is-a-realistic-monthly-return-i-could-expect

How is the win rate on this page calculated?

Wins plus breakevens, divided by wins plus losses plus breakevens. The denominator excludes signals that expired or were time-stopped without a clear win or loss. The page footer shows the raw win/loss/BE counts so you can verify the math yourself. We use the same formula across the user dashboard, the admin engine health card, and the public page — no different numbers in different places. #how-is-the-win-rate-on-this-page-calculated

What was the engine's worst week?

Performance varies week to week. The cumulative R chart on the /performance page shows every drawdown — there is no filtering of bad periods. If you want to see worst-case behaviour, scroll the curve looking for the steepest dips. We do not hide losing weeks. #what-was-the-engines-worst-week

Comparisons

TradeVelocity vs free Telegram signal groups — what is the real difference?

Free Telegram groups usually push signals from a single trader's gut feeling, with no public track record, no stop-loss, no defined targets, and no transparent close-out. We publish a verified delayed performance page, every signal includes an entry zone, one stop-loss, three take-profit levels, and the engine actively manages the trade after entry. Most free groups also monetize via referral kickbacks from exchanges, which means they are incentivized to push you toward high-fee trades — we are not. #tradevelocity-vs-free-telegram-signal-groups-what-is-the-r

Why pay for signals when I can use free TradingView indicators?

You can absolutely build your own system on TradingView — many traders do. The difference is operational: we scan all 21 markets continuously, our system fires alerts the moment a setup forms, and we manage the trade after entry (moving stops, trailing winners, killing positions when momentum dies). Doing all of that manually requires sitting at your screen for hours every day. The subscription replaces the time cost, not the trading skill. #why-pay-for-signals-when-i-can-use-free-tradingview-indicato

Are AI trading signals better than human analysts?

Different strengths. A human analyst can read news, understand narrative, and adapt to one-off events. A systematic engine never gets tired, never panics, never falls in love with a position, and can scan dozens of markets every minute. The ideal is to combine both — use systematic signals as the baseline, and your judgment to size up or pass on individual trades when context warrants it. #are-ai-trading-signals-better-than-human-analysts

Trading & signals

How do I read a TradeVelocity signal step-by-step?

Each signal has six parts. Direction (LONG or SHORT), entry zone (a price range — wait for price to enter it before opening a position), stop-loss (close the trade if price hits this), and three take-profit targets (TP1, TP2, TP3). The general flow: open a position when price enters the entry zone, put your stop-loss at the level shown, and split your exit across the three targets (e.g., 50% out at TP1, 30% at TP2, 20% at TP3). The engine will notify you when targets are hit and adjust the stop-loss as the trade progresses. #how-do-i-read-a-tradevelocity-signal-step-by-step

What is an R-multiple? What does 1R, 2R, 3R mean?

1R is the amount you risk on a single trade — the distance from your entry to your stop-loss, expressed in dollars. If your stop-loss is $100 below entry, then 1R = $100. A 2R win means the trade made $200, a 0.5R loss means it lost $50. Talking about R instead of dollars makes performance comparable across trades of different sizes — it normalises everything to your own risk tolerance. #what-is-an-r-multiple-what-does-1r-2r-3r-mean

How much capital do I need to start using signals?

There is no minimum on our side, but a practical floor is around $500 for crypto trading. Below that, exchange minimum order sizes and percentage trading fees eat into small position sizes too aggressively to make 1% risk-per-trade math work cleanly. Above $500 the math is comfortable; above $5,000 it becomes very flexible. #how-much-capital-do-i-need-to-start-using-signals

Do I need to know technical analysis to follow signals?

No. The engine does the analysis — your job is execution: enter when the entry zone is reached, set the stop-loss and take-profits as shown, and follow the engine's notifications. That said, understanding why the engine is taking a trade (broad-strokes: trend direction, volatility regime) helps you size up or pass on signals when something feels off in the broader market. #do-i-need-to-know-technical-analysis-to-follow-signals

What happens if the engine has a losing week?

It happens. No system wins every week — markets move through phases the engine handles well and phases where the edge thins. The honest expectation is that drawdowns occur, often 4-8% of starting capital in a bad stretch. If you size positions conservatively (1-2% risk per trade), even a poor week is recoverable. Watch the rolling cumulative R, not single weeks — that is where the edge actually shows up. #what-happens-if-the-engine-has-a-losing-week

How is using signals different from gambling on crypto?

Gambling is taking trades with no defined risk, no exit plan, and no measurable edge. Following signals is the opposite: every trade has a pre-defined stop-loss, three take-profit levels, and a verifiable historical edge across hundreds of past trades. You can have a losing trade or a losing week and the system is still working as intended — the edge plays out across many trades, not single ones. #how-is-using-signals-different-from-gambling-on-crypto

Can the AI be wrong? How often?

Yes — by design. No real trading system wins more than ~70% of the time over the long run, and ours does not aim to. The engine's edge comes from being honest about the wins it gets versus the size of its losses, not from being right every time. Check the live performance page for the current win rate over your chosen window. #can-the-ai-be-wrong-how-often

Why is your confidence score capped at 90%?

Because no model is ever truly 100% sure, and any system claiming "99% confident" is misleading you. Capping at 90% is an honesty signal: even the highest-grade signals can fail. If a trade with a 90% confidence score loses, it is not a bug — it is the 1-in-10 outcome that we explicitly told you about. #why-is-your-confidence-score-capped-at-90

Should I always take TP1, TP2, AND TP3 — or only some?

A common approach is to scale out: close 50% of the position at TP1, 30% at TP2, 20% at TP3. This locks in profit early while letting some of the position run if the trade keeps going. If you only have funds for a single exit, taking the full position out at TP1 is the safest — you bank the win and avoid any risk of the trade reversing before TP2 or TP3. #should-i-always-take-tp1-tp2-and-tp3-or-only-some

How do I size my position from a signal?

Decide what percentage of your account you are willing to lose if the trade hits stop-loss (1-2% is conservative, 3-5% is aggressive). Then: position size in dollars = (account balance × risk percentage) ÷ (distance from entry to stop-loss as a percentage of entry price). The TradeVelocity dashboard does this math for you when you enter your account size in Settings. #how-do-i-size-my-position-from-a-signal

Can I trade these signals on Binance Spot, or only futures?

Both work for LONG signals. Spot is simpler (you actually buy the asset) and has no liquidation risk, but you cannot SHORT on spot. Futures lets you take both LONG and SHORT signals and use leverage, but adds liquidation risk if you over-size. Beginners should start on spot with LONG-only signals; experienced traders can use futures for the full LONG/SHORT range. #can-i-trade-these-signals-on-binance-spot-or-only-futures

Do you guarantee profits?

No — and any signal service that does is lying. Crypto trading is high-risk and you can lose money. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Read our Risk Disclosure carefully before subscribing. Our published win rates and expectancy figures are historical aggregates, not promises. #do-you-guarantee-profits

How many signals will I get per day?

Variable. The engine doesn't produce signals on demand — it waits for setups that meet its criteria. Across your entire watchlist, expect roughly 1-5 high-quality signals per day during normal market conditions. During quiet markets, fewer; during high-conviction setups, more. The engine also pauses signal generation entirely during extreme volatility (a "crisis" volatility regime gate). #how-many-signals-will-i-get-per-day

What's a "stop loss" and why does every signal have one?

Stop loss is the price at which you exit a losing trade to limit your downside. Every TradeVelocity signal includes one — we strongly believe never trading without one. The engine's mid-trade adaptation also moves stops in your favour as the trade progresses (breakeven after first target, trailing stop after second). #whats-a-stop-loss-and-why-does-every-signal-have-one

Can I copy-trade automatically?

Not yet. Today you receive signals; you execute manually on your exchange of choice. An exchange-linked auto-execution product is on our roadmap but not committed. #can-i-copy-trade-automatically

The AI engine

How does the AI signal engine work?

Our engine continuously scans 21 active cryptocurrency markets across multiple timeframes. Each potential signal must pass a multi-layer confluence analysis covering trend, momentum, volume, volatility regime, and structural support/resistance. Signals are graded internally (A+ to B) and only the higher-conviction setups are published. The engine also runs three independent timeframe profiles in parallel — short-term (scalp), medium-term (swing), and long-term (position) — so you can match signals to your preferred holding style. #how-does-the-ai-signal-engine-work

What does "5-layer confluence" actually mean?

It means a signal candidate has to satisfy five independent technical-analysis criteria simultaneously before being published. Single-indicator signals are noisy; requiring agreement across multiple unrelated signals dramatically reduces false positives. We don't publish signals that pass only some of the layers. #what-does-5-layer-confluence-actually-mean

How accurate are TradeVelocity signals?

We grade every signal A+, A, B+, or B based on multi-layer confluence strength. Higher grades have stricter entry requirements and historically deliver better risk-adjusted outcomes. We publish live performance transparently in the in-app dashboard and refresh aggregate stats once we have enough closed signals to be meaningful — we'd rather show you a verified 90-day window than quote unverified percentages. What matters more than raw win rate is expectancy (average R-multiple per trade including losses): with our designed reward-to-risk profile, ~40% win rate is profitable. Past performance does not guarantee future results. #how-accurate-are-tradevelocity-signals

Does the engine adapt mid-trade?

Yes — this is one of our key differentiators. After a signal hits its first take-profit, the stop is automatically moved to lock in profits. After the second take-profit, a trailing stop captures further upside. If higher-timeframe momentum breaks while you're in profit, the stop tightens to lock most of the gain. And if a trade shows no progress within a reasonable window, it's automatically closed. Each adjustment is delivered as its own notification. #does-the-engine-adapt-mid-trade

What markets do you cover?

Currently 21 major crypto markets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB, XRP, Cardano, Avalanche, Dogecoin, Chainlink, Polkadot, Polygon, Uniswap, Cosmos, Litecoin, Aptos, Arbitrum, Optimism, Injective, Sui, NEAR Protocol, and PAX Gold (gold-pegged). The list expands as we add data-provider coverage and trader demand justifies it. #what-markets-do-you-cover

Plans & pricing

How much does TradeVelocity cost?

Three plans, monthly or yearly billing. Velocity Starter: $39/month (originally $79). Velocity Pro: $99/month (originally $199). Velocity Institutional: $249/month (originally $499). Yearly billing is approximately 25% cheaper than 12 months. Current pricing always shown at tradevelocity.ai/pricing. #how-much-does-tradevelocity-cost

What's the difference between Starter, Pro, and Institutional?

Starter gives you 3 asset slots (you pick which crypto markets you want signals on) and 1 notification channel (email, Telegram, or WhatsApp — your choice). Pro: 10 asset slots and 2 channels. Institutional: all 21 active assets and all 3 channels included. The signal engine and signal quality are identical across all tiers — slots and channels are the only differences. #whats-the-difference-between-starter-pro-and-institutiona

Which plan should I pick?

If you trade 1-3 majors (BTC, ETH, SOL): Starter is enough. If you actively rotate across mid-cap altcoins: Pro. If you want full coverage and multi-channel redundancy: Institutional. Most subscribers start on Starter and upgrade if they hit slot limits. #which-plan-should-i-pick

Can I upgrade or downgrade later?

Yes — anytime from your account Settings. Upgrades apply immediately and prorate; downgrades apply at the end of your current billing period. Watchlist preferences are kept across plan changes. #can-i-upgrade-or-downgrade-later

Are there any hidden fees?

No. The price you see at checkout is the full amount you pay (excluding local taxes/VAT where applicable, shown clearly at checkout). We don't charge per signal, per asset, or for new features added during your subscription. #are-there-any-hidden-fees

Payments & billing

What payment methods do you accept?

Credit/debit cards via Stripe, direct USDC on the Tron network (TRC-20 — no processor fee), and regional processors (Whish for Lebanon, NOWPayments for multi-chain crypto). Crypto payments are non-refundable once on-chain confirmation succeeds. Card payments follow our refund policy. #what-payment-methods-do-you-accept

Why direct USDC instead of just Stripe?

Card processors charge 2.9% + €0.30 per transaction. Direct USDC has zero processor fee, so you keep more of your subscription dollar. We verify the on-chain transaction hash automatically and activate your subscription within seconds. #why-direct-usdc-instead-of-just-stripe

Can I get a refund?

Card payments: yes within 14 days of first subscription if you haven't received signals yet, or partial refund at our discretion if you have. Crypto payments: non-refundable once on-chain confirmation has happened (blockchain transactions are irreversible). Renewals: not refundable except billing errors. Full Refund Policy in our Legal terms. #can-i-get-a-refund

How do I cancel?

Settings → Subscription → "Cancel auto-renew." You keep access through the end of your current paid period (no refund for unused time). After expiry your account becomes read-only — historical signals stay visible. Re-subscribe anytime; watchlist preferences are kept for 90 days. #how-do-i-cancel

Notifications

How fast do I get a signal?

Email and Telegram delivery are both effectively instant — sub-second from signal creation. WhatsApp delivery is currently being wired up. The dashboard updates in real-time when you have it open. #how-fast-do-i-get-a-signal

How do I connect Telegram?

After signing in: Settings → Notification Channels → Telegram → click "Link your Telegram" → tap "Open Telegram" → press the START button in our bot. The card flips to "Bot linked & ready" within seconds. We never read your other Telegram chats — the bot only sends messages to you. #how-do-i-connect-telegram

What notifications can I configure?

Per-event toggles for: new signals, take-profit hits (TP1/TP2/TP3), stop-loss hits, breakeven moves, trailing stop adjustments, momentum invalidation alerts, time-stop closures, and status changes. Each toggle is per-channel — you can have email-only for entries and Telegram for everything. Set everything in Settings → Notifications. #what-notifications-can-i-configure

Can I get only the high-confidence signals?

Yes — Settings → Signal Quality Filter. Set the minimum grade you'll be notified for (A+ only, A and above, etc.). All signals still appear in the dashboard regardless; the filter only affects notifications. #can-i-get-only-the-high-confidence-signals

Demo & trial

How does the demo work?

Submit a request at /register/demo with your name, email, phone, company (optional), and a short note on why you want to trial. Verify your email via the link we send. The team reviews your application — typically within 24-48 hours — and either approves a tier and duration, or politely declines. Approved applicants get a password-setup link. #how-does-the-demo-work

Why do you screen demo requests?

Two reasons: (1) crypto signal services attract abusive sign-ups (pump-and-dump groups trying to scrape signals to redistribute), and (2) we want to give serious traders a real evaluation experience without spam-bot noise crowding out legitimate applicants. Most genuine traders are approved. #why-do-you-screen-demo-requests

Can I convert my demo to a paid subscription?

Yes — checkout normally during your demo period or at expiry. Watchlist and notification preferences carry over. We don't auto-charge demo accounts — you choose when (and whether) to subscribe. #can-i-convert-my-demo-to-a-paid-subscription

Security & privacy

Is my account secure?

Yes — we use bank-grade security: HTTPS everywhere, hashed passwords (we never store plaintext), encrypted MFA secrets, mandatory MFA on administrative accounts, optional MFA on subscriber accounts, login throttling, IP-change alerts, and audit logging on every meaningful action. We strongly recommend enabling MFA on your account in Settings. #is-my-account-secure

What data do you collect?

Account essentials (name, email, hashed password), preferences (watchlist, notification channels, account balance for position sizing — never shared), payment data (handled by payment processors — we don't store card numbers), and security audit logs (IP, user-agent for login monitoring). We do NOT collect data from your exchange, your other websites, or your device sensors. Full Privacy Policy in our Legal terms. #what-data-do-you-collect

Do you sell or share my data?

No. We never sell personal data. We share data only with processors required to operate the service (hosting, email delivery, payment processing) — each bound by Data Processing Agreements. Full list in our Privacy Policy. #do-you-sell-or-share-my-data

I'm in the EU — are you GDPR compliant?

Yes. We honour all GDPR rights including access, rectification, erasure ("right to be forgotten"), portability, restriction, objection, and the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority (CNIL in France). Contact [email protected] or [email protected] to exercise any right. #im-in-the-eu-are-you-gdpr-compliant

Account management

Can I change my watchlist?

Yes — anytime from the Watchlist tab in the dashboard. Add or remove assets up to your plan slot limit. Pro and Institutional plans support drag-reorder. #can-i-change-my-watchlist

I forgot my password.

Click "Forgot password" on the login page, enter your email, and you'll receive a reset link valid for 60 minutes. If the link expires, just request another one. #i-forgot-my-password

I lost my MFA device.

Use one of your 10 single-use recovery codes at the MFA challenge screen — you saved them when you enrolled. If you didn't save them, contact support and we'll verify your identity through alternate means before resetting MFA. #i-lost-my-mfa-device

Can I have multiple accounts?

One subscription per email address. If you need multiple accounts (e.g., for different family members), each needs a separate subscription. Sharing your account credentials violates our Terms of Service and may result in suspension. #can-i-have-multiple-accounts

Support

Where can I see your blog?

Our research blog is at tradevelocity.ai/blog. We publish long-form essays on AI trading systems, signal confluence engines, position-sizing math, and crypto market regimes — written by the TradeVelocity team. #where-can-i-see-your-blog
