Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Stoic AI?

  Stoic AI is an automated crypto trading platform offering professionally built quantitative strategies for digital assets. It serves as an alternative to actively managed crypto hedge funds, providing users with hedge-fund-grade strategies while keeping full custody of their funds on their own exchange accounts.

• How does Stoic AI differ from traditional crypto hedge funds?

  Our platform offers the benefits of an actively managed crypto strategy without requiring you to give up custody or go through lengthy onboarding. While hedge funds typically require accredited investor status, minimum investments, and lock-up periods, Stoic is:

  • Non-custodial — your assets stay on your own exchange account.
  • Accessible — no KYC or minimum investment threshold.
  • Transparent — you see all trades in real-time.
  • Automated — powered by tested algorithmic models and backed by over 5 years of live trading experience.
• What kinds of strategies do you offer?

  We provide several algorithmic trading strategies, including:

  • Meta Strategy: A market-neutral, hedge-fund-style approach combining long and short positions to profit in both bull and bear markets.
  • Fixed Income Strategy: Generates steady returns by capturing funding fees on Binance Futures while neutralizing market risk through spot hedging.
  • Long-Only Strategy: A diversified crypto index-style strategy, ideal for long-term exposure.
  • Superforecaster Strategy: Combines mean-reversion long entries and momentum-based shorts to adapt to changing market regimes.

  Each strategy is built to adapt and evolve with the market — similar to how elite quantitative hedge funds operate.

• Are strategies actively managed?

  Yes — strategies are actively monitored, adjusted, and improved by a team of quant researchers, data scientists, and developers. These strategies use a blend of machine learning, statistical modeling, and real-time market signals to manage positions automatically on your behalf.

• What’s the track record of Stoic AI?

  Stoic AI has been operating live since 2020 and has managed cumulatively over $200 million in user assets across strategies. Some clients include high-net-worth individuals and institutions, with top accounts exceeding $20M AUM.

• Can Stoic AI replace a crypto hedge fund?

  Our trading bot is an ideal alternative for individuals or institutions seeking:

  • Hedge-fund-like performance
  • Transparent execution
  • Cost efficiency
  • Full asset control

  Instead of signing up with a hedge fund, clients can connect their Binance or Bybit account to Stoic via API keys and start trading in minutes — no paperwork, no lockups.

• How secure is Stoic AI?

  We never touch your funds directly. The system operates using read/trade-only API keys, meaning:

  • You hold full custody of your crypto assets.
  • Stoic cannot withdraw funds.
  • All trades happen transparently in your own exchange account.
• Who should use this trading solution?

  Stoic AI is ideal for:

  • Professionals looking for automated portfolio management
  • Crypto-native investors seeking institutional-grade tools
  • Traditional investors diversifying into digital assets without day-to-day trading
  • Family offices and funds looking to automate part of their crypto exposure
• Which exchanges does Stoic support?

  Our trading bot currently integrates with:

  • Binance (global)
  • Binance US
  • Bybit
  • Coinbase
  • Crypto.com
  • Kucoin

  More exchange integrations are planned to expand institutional use cases.

• How do I get started?

  You can start in just a few steps:

  1. Create an account at stoic.ai
  2. Choose a strategy
  3. Connect your exchange via secure API keys.
  4. Let Stoic start trading automatically.
• Why don’t I see some strategies inside the app?

  The app runs a wide range of algorithmic strategies — in fact, we have over 200 different trading models in our arsenal. Many of these are bundled within the Meta Strategy, which dynamically allocates capital across them based on market conditions. Some specialized strategies, however, are not publicly accessible via the app. These may include:

  • Early-stage experimental models
  • High-capital strategies
  • Custom solutions for institutional clients

  If you're interested in exploring these, you can request access on this website or contact us at [email protected]— our team will follow up to guide you through next steps.

• What are the risks?

  All investments involve risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. While Stoic actively manages strategies, it cannot fully eliminate the impact of unexpected market events. For example, in declining markets, increased short interest may push funding rates negative. If rates fall to levels like -0.2%, Stoic may reduce or close positions to protect capital and preserve gains.

• Why should I trust Stoic AI?

  Stoic AI is backed by nearly a decade of experience in developing and managing algorithmic and quantitative trading strategies for digital assets. Since launching in 2015, we’ve built a proven track record in live trading, risk management, and systematic strategy design. Stoic served over 15,000 users, with more than $230 million in total connected assets (cumulative since inception), offering reliable, institutional-grade solutions for crypto investors.
