Frequently Asked Questions

VScalp is software only. It produces rule-based signals and provides analytics, backtesting and optional order automation that connects to your own third-party exchange account through API keys you create and control. VScalp operates no venue, holds no funds and never trades on your behalf outside the rules you configure.

VScalp is aimed at experienced crypto traders who understand futures, leverage and the risks involved, and who want to research, backtest or automate rule sets on an exchange account they already control.

No. VScalp is not an exchange, broker, custodian, wallet provider or payment processor. All trading and custody happens on the exchange you connect.

No. VScalp is non-custodial. Your funds stay in your own exchange account at all times, custody and settlement are handled by the exchange, and VScalp has no ability to withdraw or transfer assets. See our Security page.

VScalp currently supports Bybit for API-linked automation and account analytics. Additional exchanges may be added over time. Availability may depend on your plan, exchange integration, region, or future product updates.

Access to VScalp and to specific features may be restricted based on your country, the exchange you use, or local regulations. You are responsible for making sure your use of VScalp and of any connected exchange is permitted where you live.

VScalp's engines apply deterministic rules to market data on a defined universe of pairs and emit signals. Signals are informational outputs, not advice or instructions. You can read them manually, or link a Bybit API key so the software submits orders on your own account strictly according to the rules you save.

Auto-Trade is rule-based order automation on your own API-linked exchange account. You define entry conditions, order size, take-profit, stop-loss, trailing and DCA levels; the software submits matching order requests to the exchange. There is no discretionary or managed trading — you can pause execution or revoke the key at any time. See Auto-Trade.

Copy Bybit refers to Bybit's own native copy-trading functionality, where you follow the VScalp Master Account directly on Bybit. Replication, custody and execution are performed by Bybit, not by VScalp, and no API key is shared with us. VScalp publishes the historical record of realized trades on that account. See Copy Bybit.

The Strategy Vault is a research and preset layer. Each card shows historical simulated results for a configuration and, where compatible, lets you review and apply that preset to your own Auto-Trade account. Vault metrics are simulations of past data and do not guarantee future results. See Strategy Vault.

You can automate signal-based entries with configurable take-profit, stop-loss, trailing stop, timeouts and optional scaled orders (DCA), per bot and per connected account. Specific presets and parameters availability may depend on your plan, exchange integration, region, or future product updates.

Yes. Auto-Trade supports scaled orders (DCA) with a base order plus additional safety orders at configurable deviations and sizes, per bot.

VScalp's engines target short-to-medium term entries on liquid perpetual futures pairs. Whether a given configuration suits scalping depends on exchange latency, fees, funding and your own risk parameters. We make no claim that any configuration is profitable.

Yes. VScalp exposes several bots covering different pair lists, and you can configure execution overrides per bot. Concurrency limits are configurable in Auto-Trade settings.

Yes. You can read the signals and place trades yourself on your exchange, or enable Auto-Trade so the software submits orders through your API key according to your saved rules. Both paths use the same signal source.

Yes. VScalp can send outbound webhooks (HMAC-signed) for signal events, and provides Telegram notifications. Details are available in the API & Integrations section. Availability may depend on your plan, exchange integration, region, or future product updates.

Live trading executes orders on your real exchange account. Backtesting replays historical data through a strategy to estimate hypothetical performance. Simulations do not reflect all real-market conditions (slippage, latency, outages, liquidity, fees) and should not be treated as a forecast of live results.

No. VScalp makes no performance promise of any kind. Past and simulated results do not guarantee future results, and trading crypto derivatives involves a substantial risk of loss. See our Risk Disclosure.

Generate an API key on your exchange with the required permissions and add it in Auto-Trade. Follow the on-screen guidance for recommended settings.

Read access to balances and positions is enough for account analytics. Order placement permission on derivatives markets is required only if you enable Auto-Trade. Withdrawal permission must never be enabled. Where your exchange supports IP allow-lists, we recommend using them.

No. VScalp does not request or use withdrawal permissions. You should never grant withdrawal rights to any trading tool.

If the exchange API is down, rate-limiting, or returning errors, VScalp cannot place, modify or cancel orders on that exchange. Automated positions may remain open until the API recovers. You are responsible for monitoring your positions.

If your key is invalid, expired or missing permissions, Auto-Trade will fail to place or manage orders and you will typically see errors in the executions log. Reconnect a valid key with the correct permissions.

Use exchange-side IP allow-listing where possible, disable withdrawals, use unique keys per tool, and rotate keys regularly. Never share your keys with anyone.

API secrets you provide are encrypted at rest (AES-GCM) and used only to sign requests to your exchange according to your saved rules. You can delete them from VScalp at any time, and revoke the key exchange-side. See our Security and Privacy Policy pages.

Yes. Prices can move rapidly and unpredictably, and you can lose part or all of your capital. Only trade with funds you can afford to lose.

Yes. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. Small adverse price moves can trigger partial or full liquidation. Read our Risk Disclosure before enabling automation.

Backtests and Strategy Vault metrics are hypothetical simulations. They are computed on historical data and do not include all real-market frictions such as slippage, latency, partial fills, exchange outages or funding costs. Past performance does not guarantee future results and should not be read as a forecast.

Live execution depends on real-time liquidity, order-book conditions, exchange fees, funding, network and API latency, and event risk. Any of these factors can cause live results to diverge from backtested or simulated results.

Yes. Automated trading depends on your device, your internet connection, VScalp, the exchange API and the exchange matching engine. Any of these can experience latency or downtime.

You are. Even with automation enabled, you should monitor your account, alerts and open positions, and be prepared to intervene manually if needed.
