How AlphaSet works

The Engine manages your whole balance

When you connect an exchange account and turn on an Alpha, the Quant Engine manages the entire trading balance of that account.

• There is no "manage only part" mode (e.g. manage $10K, leave the rest alone).
• The full available balance in the connected account is within the Engine's scope, run according to your chosen Alpha.
• So if you want to keep part of your assets untouched, hold them in a separate account/sub-account, or move them to a non-trading wallet (e.g. the exchange's Funding/Earn wallet).

Rebalancing 24/7

The Engine doesn't trade once and stop — it runs continuously:

• Reads market signals in real time.
• Recalculates portfolio weights continuously (per-minute, not daily/weekly).
• Opens/closes positions and rebalances following the Alpha's logic — even while you sleep.

Each Alpha has its own cadence (e.g. Alpha Crypto rebalances the basket every 4 hours), but the principle is the same: the portfolio is always kept aligned with the model.

Your funds always stay on your exchange

The Engine places orders but never holds your funds:

Your funds always stay on your own exchange. AlphaSet never holds your assets.

• Crypto: connected via an API key with trade permission only, no withdrawal.
• Stock VN: connected via trading authorization (SACO) — funds stay in your DNSE account.
• Revoke access anytime → the Engine stops immediately.

How does the cap work?

Each plan has a capital cap per Alpha. Because the Engine uses your whole balance, the cap is checked before trading (a pre-trade gate):

• Balance within the cap → the Engine runs normally.
• A deposit that pushes you over the cap → a balance adjustment fee may apply (see the Balance Adjustment Fee article). This fee is never charged on profit.
• Want to manage more capital for one Alpha → upgrade your plan.

Summary

• The Engine manages your whole connected balance — not part of it.
• Rebalances 24/7 following the Alpha's model.
• Funds always stay on your exchange; the Engine only trades, never withdraws.
• Want to keep assets separate → use a different account/wallet.

All investing carries risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
