Frequently Asked Questions

What is TRADIC?

TRADIC is trading software that can be installed locally and includes complementary web services. Your bots run on your device and connect directly to your brokerage account. You set and confirm the trading rules; we do not provide personal investment recommendations.

What makes our bots so special?

Automated. Unemotional. Consistent. Your bots follow the rules that you confirm.

The software buys more when prices fall in order to lower the average price. The system does not trigger a sale until when your predefined profit target is reached. Sales at a loss (stop-loss) are not permitted.

Important: This is not a guarantee of profit. If the price falls permanently, the bot will wait. Your capital remains tied up in the trading currency (holding risk, up to and including total loss).

Your benefit: You take advantage of natural market fluctuations through actual purchases (long positions)—without leverage and without betting on falling prices.

Is my money safe with TRADIC?

TRADIC does not hold any trading capital. Your assets remain in your own brokerage account. Buy and sell transactions are executed according to your previously confirmed settings. Grant only the necessary read and trading permissions—do not grant withdrawal permissions. Trading losses, as well as security and insolvency risks associated with the broker, remain your responsibility.

Why does the performance in the TRADIC Dashboard fluctuate even when there are no losing trades?

Performance is first calculated for each bot in its settlement currency. This is the second currency in the trading pair—for example, USDC for BTC/USDC or EUR for BTC/EUR. If the settlement currency differs from your selected display currency, TRADIC converts the total realized profit using the current exchange rate. As a result, the displayed amount may increase or decrease even though no new or negative trade has taken place. The Max graph is also converted at the current exchange rate and may therefore shift as a whole without showing a negative segment. The realized profit in the original settlement currency remains unchanged. The selected time period and active filters also determine which bots and profits are included. Open positions that have not yet been sold are not included in this performance.

What are the costs involved?

You can find the exact costs in our Price List. The first 30 days after the bot is first launched are free. If no cycle has been completed by then, the first complete bot cycle will also remain free. Only after that will charges apply for Bot Sales Software fees totaling 0.2% of the position value per percentage point of the profit target parameter (default: 2%) up to a maximum of €20.00 per month. All other features on TRADIC are free of charge. Note: Broker fees, spreads, taxes, and external costs may apply.

Are there any charges if I create an account but don't use it?

No. Registration with TRADIC is free. You can explore the platform at your leisure, with no fees or subscription required. There are no costs involved only when actively in use, that is, when a bot executes sales.

How do I pay my TRADIC software fees?

The first 30 days from the bot’s initial launch are free of charge. If no cycle has been completed by then, the first complete bot cycle will also remain free of charge. To continue using the service after the free period, your explicit payment authorization is required, even if you have a balance on hand. After that, TRADIC will bill you monthly for your software fees based on usage. The billable fee amount is capped at €20.00 per month. Bonus credits are automatically applied. Starting at €10.00, you’ll receive an invoice that will be automatically charged via your approved payment method. You can also securely pay outstanding invoices manually via Stripe. Smaller amounts are carried over and billed no later than twelve months after they are incurred.

Is there a monthly limit on software fees?

Yes. The fee amount billable at the end of each month, including small amounts carried over, is capped at €20.00 per user account. Once the limit is reached, any additional bot sales remain free of charge until the next billing cycle.

What happens when you add a payment method?

There is no charge for adding a payment method. Stripe securely stores the payment method for future invoices. TRADIC does not store any complete credit card or bank account information. For additional bot cycles after the free cycle, you must confirm payment authorization using a verified payment method and enable automatic billing. This also applies if you have a balance on your account.

How do I share TRADIC?

Under "My Account," tap "Add." From there, you can share the link to TRADIC directly or use the QR code.

Can I pay my bill manually or automatically?

Yes. If you don't have direct debit set up, you can pay a due invoice on the payment page by clicking the "Pay" button. If you enable direct debit, Stripe will automatically collect future invoice amounts due using your saved payment method.

What happens to software fees under €10.00?

Amounts less than €10.00 will be carried over to the next monthly billing cycle. They will be billed as soon as the total reaches at least €10.00, but no later than twelve months from the date of accrual.

How do I link my brokerage account?

After registering, you'll be guided through the onboarding process. There, you'll select your broker and follow the step-by-step instructions to create and enter an API key with trading permissions.

Can I disconnect TRADIC from my broker at any time?

Yes. You can block or delete the API key directly with the broker at any time and, if the broker offers this option, restrict individual permissions. Once the broker has revoked the order authorization, your bot will no longer be able to place new orders using this key. A complete revocation terminates access to the broker account via this key. Check the status of orders that have already been accepted directly in your broker account and cancel any open orders there if necessary. With TRADIC, you can remove the saved connection separately under “My Account” → “Broker,” provided that no bots—or only bots that have already been deleted—are assigned to it.

Why does TRADIC show €0 on OKX even though I've deposited money?

If your deposit on OKX is under “Funding,” TRADIC may still show €0: TRADIC only reads balances under “Trading.” In OKX, go to “Account → Overview” and use the “Transfer” option to move the desired amount from “Funding” to “Trading.” Then update the OKX balance in TRADIC using the refresh icon. As long as the funds remain under “Funding,” refreshing the page will not change the display.

What does "Exchange" mean at TRADIC?

At TRADIC, "Exchange" refers to Crypto.com Exchange, Crypto.com's trading platform. TRADIC bots can currently trade via Exchange because the necessary trading connection is available there. The Crypto.com app alone cannot currently be connected to a TRADIC bot.

Can I use Exchange with my Crypto.com account?

Yes, provided that Exchange is available in your country. If you're already using the Crypto.com app, you can set up Exchange with the same email address. During the initial setup, you'll set a password for Exchange; additional verification may be required.

Can I transfer funds from the Crypto.com app to the exchange?

Yes. You can transfer supported cryptocurrencies directly from your Crypto.com app wallet to Exchange: In Exchange, open the deposit page, select "Crypto.com App," then choose the coin and amount, and confirm the transfer. The app and Exchange have separate wallets. To use a TRADIC bot, you need funds in your Exchange wallet and an Exchange API key with trading permissions.

Do I need any prior knowledge of trading?

No, not necessarily. TRADIC is designed so that you can get started even without any specialized knowledge. However, you should definitely familiarize yourself with the fundamental risks familiarize yourself with the business. You always make the final decision and bear full responsibility.

How can I pause, stop, or reactivate a TRADIC bot?

Open the bot details and tap “Active” at the top. Then confirm by tapping “Deactivate.” The bot will immediately be displayed as “Inactive” and will no longer make any new purchases. Open positions will not be closed abruptly: The bot will continue to sell them automatically as soon as your set profit target is reached. If you want to restart the bot, tap “Inactive” at the top and confirm by tapping “Activate.” After that, new purchases will be enabled again, and the bot will resume trading as usual.

Can I run multiple TRADIC bots at the same time?

Yes. You can launch and actively run multiple TRADIC bots at the same time. TRADIC currently does not set a fixed limit on the number of bots that can be active simultaneously. However, please note that bots with the same base currency access the same available balance at your broker. The more bots that share this balance, the greater the risk that a bot will later lack the capital needed for a planned purchase or additional purchase.

What does “Available on the broker” mean when creating a bot?

"Available at the Broker" shows you the current available balance in the selected base currency directly at your broker. This figure is intended as a guide for your budget planning and does not constitute a reservation or guarantee. Purchases, open orders, deposits and withdrawals, as well as other bots, can change the actual available amount at any time.

Does TRADIC set aside the budget allocated for a bot?

No. The budget set in the bot is not reserved as a separate amount of money with your broker. Your balance remains in your brokerage account and can also be used by other bots, manual orders, or withdrawals. Therefore, make sure you have sufficient available liquidity for all bots that are active at the same time and for any potential additional purchases they may make.

What happens if a bot doesn't have enough credit to make a top-up?

If the available balance with the broker is insufficient for a planned purchase or additional purchase, the bot will pause further purchases. Open positions can still be sold once they reach the set profit target. To allow the bot to buy again, you must make sufficient funds available with the broker and reactivate the paused purchase via the bot details.

Can I generate returns using automated crypto bots in Germany?

Whether you generate returns using trading bots depends on your bot settings and market volatility. TRADIC provides you with the tools to automate your trading, but does not guarantee a profit. We strongly recommend that you use our Risk Disclosures Please note.

Is TRADIC a financial services provider (regulated by BaFin)?

TRADIC provides trading software and complementary web services. In an on-premises setup, your device calculates and transmits orders directly to the broker according to your confirmed rules. We do not hold any assets and do not provide personal investment recommendations. Regulatory classification is based on the actual structure of the service; the mere designation as “software” does not, in and of itself, constitute a blanket exemption.

Has the TRADIC business model been reviewed by legal counsel?

We have obtained a legal opinion regarding the regulatory classification of TRADIC’s on-premise operating model. The opinion is based on the specific structure of the local operation described therein. The opinion does not constitute an official license or certification.

What regulatory requirements apply to crypto trading bots in Germany (BaFin, MiCA)?

Among other things, MiCAR regulates crypto-asset services that require authorization. The key factor is who actually makes trading decisions, accepts or forwards client orders, and holds assets in custody. In the on-premises model offered, bots and broker connections run on your device under your control. The technical implementation and new features must be compatible with this model; an additional service may require a separate regulatory review.

How do I report profits from crypto trading bots for tax purposes in Germany?

In Germany, crypto gains may be subject to tax as personal capital gains. The tax treatment depends on your individual situation and the applicable laws. TRADIC provides a transaction overview, but this does not replace tax advice. Please consult a tax advisor.

Do the bots use artificial intelligence (AI)?

No, our bots operate solely based on set algorithms and predefined percentages. When it comes to trading, we deliberately avoid using AI because it can be prone to errors and act inconsistently. Instead, our bots operate according to a predefined algorithm—based on the parameters you, the user, define yourself.

What is the difference between a DCA bot, a grid bot, and swing trading?

All three types of bots can be automatically implemented in the TRADIC software. DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) and grid bots buy more as prices fall to lower the average price. Swing trading aims to capitalize on price movements over the course of days or weeks.

What happens if the price keeps falling and never recovers?

Since our bot software is programmed not to execute automatic sales at a loss, a so-called “bagholding risk” arises in this case. This means: If the price no longer reaches your set profit target, you will retain the purchased cryptocurrencies in your portfolio. The bot waits until the target price is reached. This can result in your capital remaining tied up for the long term or, in the event of a sustained price decline, losing significant value (up to a total loss). TRADIC assumes no liability for market developments.

Is there a deposit insurance program for crypto deposits with brokers like Kraken or Binance?

Crypto-assets are generally subject to No statutory deposit insurance such as bank deposits in Germany. The security of your assets depends on the security measures of the respective broker. TRADIC does not hold your assets in custody.

When does my bot monitor the market?

An active bot monitors the market based on your settings. Your trading device must be turned on and connected to the Internet. Power-saving mode, app crashes, and disruptions at TRADIC or with your broker may interrupt monitoring or the transmission of new orders.

Is there a limit on backtesting?

Yes. To protect our servers and ensure fast results for you and all users, backtests are limited to a maximum of 5 runs per 24-hour period (rolling window). Once you reach the limit, you can start the next backtest as soon as an older test falls out of the period.

Is it safe to use API keys (e.g., Binance API) for trading bots?

Your bot sends orders directly from your device to your broker via API, based on your confirmed rules. Your coins remain in your own brokerage account.

Grant only the necessary read and trading permissions, and do not grant withdrawal permissions or any unnecessary transfer permissions. Never share your keys or secrets with support or AI services. Trading losses are possible even without withdrawal permissions. If you suspect a security breach, revoke the keys directly with your broker.

What are the advantages of automated crypto trading over manual day trading?

Your bot monitors the market and places orders according to your confirmed rules. You can track its activity on the dashboard.

Why is choosing the price range in the bot setup so important?

Price coverage determines your risk. It determines how much the bot can cushion price drops by buying more before your budget runs out. You decide whether to pursue a short-term (low coverage) or long-term (high coverage) strategy.

What does "bot cycle" mean in the price list?

A bot run refers to a completed trading cycle of the bot. A trading cycle is complete when the entire capital has been reinvested in the Base currency is in your account.
