What A9 is, and isn't

A9 runs automated trading strategies on your own OKX or Binance account. You choose a strategy, test it on past prices, and start a bot that places orders for you around the clock. That is the whole product. This page sets out the boundaries, because they matter as much as the features.

Your money stays on your exchange

A9 is non-custodial. You never deposit anything with A9. Your USDT, coins and tokenized stocks stay in your own exchange account, under your own login, and you can see every order a bot places in the exchange's own history.

A bot reaches your account through an API key that you create on the exchange and give to A9.

• The key can trade and do nothing else. A key that can withdraw is refused outright.
• The key is bound to A9's server addresses (the range 4.144.67.208/28). If it leaked, it would not work from anywhere else.
• A9 stores the key encrypted and never shows it again.
• You can delete the key on the exchange at any time, and every bot using it stops being able to trade.

What A9 does not do

• It does not hold your funds or move them between accounts.
• It does not give investment advice. The catalog, the backtests and the Discover picks show what strategies did on past data. Whether to run one, with how much, is your decision.
• It does not promise returns. Every strategy can lose money, and backtests are not forecasts.
• It does not trade behind your back. A bot does only what its settings say, under your plan's limits, and stops when you stop it.

Paper first, live when ready

Every strategy can run on paper: virtual money against the live market, on the exchange's demo service. Paper bots cost nothing and risk nothing, but each running paper bot still takes one of your plan's bot slots. When you go live, a bot trades a fixed amount per order and A9 checks its whole commitment against your plan's limit before the first order.

Plans

Your plan sets how much of your bots' realized profit you keep, how many bots can run at once, paper or live, and how much your live bots may commit in total, counting a ladder bot's whole ladder.

• Free: keep 70% of realized profit, 1 bot, 1,000 USDT of live commitment.
• Core: keep 75%, 5 bots, 20,000 USDT.
• Premium: keep 80%, 20 bots, 100,000 USDT.
• Generation: keep 90%, 50 bots, 800,000 USDT.

The platform's share applies only to realized profit above each bot's previous best, so nothing is owed on a loss. You can pay for a plan in 30-day blocks by stablecoin transfer, with no automatic renewal, or unlock it by holding the A9 token: 1,000 for Core, 10,000 for Premium, 20,000 for Generation. Held tokens are never spent.

Who it suits

A9 suits someone who already has an exchange account, understands that markets fall as well as rise, and wants a strategy carried out consistently rather than by hand. It is a poor fit for anyone looking for guaranteed income or for someone else to make the decisions. Start on paper, read the drawdown before the return, and go live with an amount you could afford to see fall.
