About TonyTrade
This page answers: who TonyTrade is for, why it runs on your own devices, and what we don't do.
TonyTrade is made by the TonyTrade team. We trade crypto ourselves. We built this tool because we wanted a trading assistant that keeps us disciplined, lets us look back, and doesn't need our keys handed to anyone else.
Who it's for
Individual traders who trade crypto themselves, have some experience, know what a stop-loss and leverage are, and want:
- to turn their trading ideas into clear rules instead of acting on gut feeling;
- help watching the market and following the rules, with the final limits set by themselves;
- to keep their keys and trade history in their own hands, not on a cloud platform.
If you're new to crypto, start with market data, scans and paper trading only, and get clear on stop-losses and wicks first.
Why it runs on your own devices
Cloud trading bots keep many people's keys in one place. If that place is breached, everyone's keys leak together. Software on your own devices doesn't have that central risk.
So TonyTrade stores your keys, trade history and the AI's reasons on your computer, and market data and orders go directly from your computer to the exchange. We don't relay them. Details: Safety design and Privacy.
Why the AI doesn't place orders
AI is good at explaining, and also good at being wrong. Letting it move money directly would hand risk control to a conversation that one news headline can throw off.
So the AI only writes plans, and a fixed rule engine checks them against your limits. Anything outside them needs your own confirmation. The five steps are in How it works.
Product principles: what we don't do
- No managed accounts. We never touch user funds. Your money stays in your own exchange account.
- No withdrawal permission. Keys that have it are refused. See API key setup.
- No promised returns, no win rates. Nobody can know where the market goes. We can only help you stick to your own rules.
- No copy trading, no buy or sell signals. You set your own strategy.
- No stocks, commodity futures, forex or gold. The first version is crypto only. See Exchanges and markets.
Relationship with exchanges
TonyTrade is not made by Binance, OKX or Bitget, and has no business relationship with them. We use the public APIs they offer to all users. Your exchange account, your assets and the user agreement are between you and the exchange.
