Manual Trading on a Stoic Account

Learn why manual trading interferes with Stoic AI operations and how to use sub-accounts safely for your personal crypto trades.

Stoic executes strategies using the entire available trading balance of your connected exchange account. We strongly advise dedicating the connected account exclusively to Stoic and avoiding any manual trades or third-party automated services.

Manual interventions distort overall performance calculations and interfere with portfolio rebalancing (learn more at 👉 stoic.ai).

⚠️ Important Notice: If non-Stoic trading activity is detected on the connected account, the Stoic trading algorithm may be automatically disabled to safeguard your portfolio.

How to Trade Manually Safely

If you wish to trade manually alongside Stoic, please choose one of the following recommended options:

Option 1: Create a Sub-Account (Recommended)

Set up a sub-account on your exchange (e.g., KuCoin, Bybit, or Binance). Dedicate one sub-account exclusively to Stoic and use the other for your manual trades or personal holdings. Funds on sub-accounts are strictly isolated.

Option 2: Use a Different Exchange

Keep your current exchange account dedicated solely to Stoic and open an account on a secondary exchange for personal manual trading.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What happens if I manually buy or sell a token on my Stoic account? A: During the next rebalancing cycle, the algorithm will detect the imbalance and may automatically sell your manually purchased tokens or attempt to restore its target allocation.

Q: Can I manually close a trade opened by Stoic to take profit early? A: We strongly advise against this. Stoic will detect the missing position and will likely re-open or adjust it during the next trading cycle according to its algorithm logic.

Q: Is it safe to trade manually on a sub-account? A: Yes, completely safe. Stoic only reads and manages the specific sub-account connected via its dedicated API keys.
