Funding & Exchanges

Yes — Coinbase is a great fit for Alpha 1x, and USDC is a natural funding choice there (it's Coinbase's home stablecoin; USDT is more limited). A few Coinbase-specific things: it's connected spot-only, so it runs Alpha 1x (no leverage, no liquidation) — ideal for a US client who wants a regulated venue. You connect by signing in on Coinbase's own site (not by pasting an API key), and that sign-in can expire, so keep it current. And use a dedicated Coinbase "Portfolio" for the strategy and fund only that one — funding the wrong Portfolio is the most common reason a first trade fails even though the account has money.

Alpha 1x can't do this — it must be funded with stablecoin, so you'd have to sell your crypto first. If keeping your coins matters, that's what Alpha 2x is for: you can post BTC (or ETH, or certain other coins) as collateral, and it's not sold — it backs the trades while the profits settle in stablecoin. The trade-off is real, though: Alpha 2x uses 2x leverage, liquidation is possible in a sharp move (and in a liquidation the exchange can sell some of your collateral), and you keep full price exposure to the coin you posted. So it's the right choice if you WANT to hold that crypto — not a simple substitute for the safer spot version.

Yes, within limits — and there's a safe self-serve amount: you can generally withdraw up to ✅ Up to 5% of your total balance per trade window→ Safe to withdraw anytime.

⚠️ More than 5% → You must pause the bot, once paused→ Safe to withdraw

📝 Withdrawals should be made in the base asset only — not the quote asset.

Your sub-account must always hold the minimum required balance for the strategy to continue operating safely and avoid interruptions in trading activity. of your balance without pausing or coordinating with the team. Your realized profits do build up as stablecoin, and it's your money (the strategy can only trade, never withdraw). For anything beyond that limit, pause the strategy or check with the team first — they can tell you how much is genuinely free given your open trades. One important caveat on Alpha 2x: every dollar in the account is also collateral, so even a small withdrawal shaves your safety margin a little and moves you slightly closer to liquidation — treat the balance as part of your margin, not a separate profits jar. And never withdraw during a drop, when that balance is doing its most important job as backing.

No — Alpha Pro doesn't run on MetaTrader 5 (MT5). It runs on the supported crypto exchanges directly, not through MT5 or other trading terminals. If you've been told otherwise, check with the team.

Both work, and the strategy trades exactly the same on either — the choice is about the coins themselves, not the bot. USDT (Tether) is the most widely supported worldwide and is the usual default, so it often gives the smoothest setup. USDC (Circle) is often seen as the more transparent of the two. One practical point: which stablecoin you can actually use depends on your exchange and your region — in Europe especially, several exchanges have dropped USDT to follow local rules, so European users can often only use USDC. Neither coin is completely risk-free either: both are meant to hold $1, but they're backed by their issuers, and Alpha Pro treats one unit as one dollar with no special protection if a stablecoin ever slips from its peg. So pick based on what your exchange supports where you are and which issuer you trust — it won't change how the strategy performs.

Alpha 1x runs on stablecoin only — USDT or USDC, held in your spot wallet. That's the full list: no BTC, no altcoins, and no regular money like EUR. The stablecoin is literally what each trade spends and gets back, so there's no way to fund it with anything else. If your money is in something else (BTC, other coins, EUR), the setup is just a one-time conversion on the exchange into USDT or USDC first. If your goal is to keep your crypto without selling it, that's the Alpha 2x version instead. Either stablecoin works and the strategy behaves the same on both; USDT is the usual default because it's the most widely supported.

Alpha 2x is more flexible, because what you put in acts as collateral (backing) for the trades rather than the money the trades are made in. You can post: USDT or USDC (simplest), BTC or ETH, or certain other coins — on the exchanges that support crypto collateral (check with the team which venues). If you post crypto like BTC, it's NOT sold: it stays in your wallet backing the trades and keeps its full price exposure, while the trading runs on stablecoin-margined contracts and your profit or loss settles in stablecoin. Two things to know with crypto collateral: exchanges count it at a little under full value (a small "haircut", around ~98% of market value for BTC), and in a liquidation the exchange can sell some of it to cover losses — so it's not risk-free.

A quick glossary, because it affects how you connect: • A CEX (centralized exchange) — like Binance, Coinbase, or Bybit — is a company you open an account with. It holds your funds and runs your trades, and you connect Alpha Pro to it with an API key (or a secure sign-in). Most supported exchanges are CEXs. • A DEX (decentralized exchange) — like Hyperliquid — has no company in the middle. It runs on a blockchain using automated smart contracts, and you trade straight from your own crypto wallet, so no one else ever holds your money. Connecting to a DEX is more involved — it uses your wallet and sometimes a "bridge" between blockchains. Either way, with Alpha Pro your funds stay in your own account or wallet — it only ever has permission to trade, never to withdraw. Because connecting to Hyperliquid (a DEX) is more complex, we point you to Hyperliquid's own guide/assistant for that setup instead of a step-by-step here.
