Non-custodial: your funds never leave your exchange

What does non-custodial mean?

"Non-custodial" means AlphaSet never holds your funds. You don't deposit money into AlphaSet. Your money stays exactly where it already is:

• Crypto → in your own exchange (BingX) account.
• Vietnamese stocks → in your own DNSE account.

AlphaSet connects to that account with exactly one permission: to place trades on your behalf. No withdrawal permission, no permission to move money out.

Two things AlphaSet can and cannot do

No matter what happens, no one can withdraw funds from your account except you.

AlphaSet is drawn as a box outside, connected to the account box by a single one-way arrow labeled "trade orders" — with NO money arrow ever leaving the account box. Emphasis: funds never leave the exchange.

Two connection methods — same principle

AlphaSet uses two mechanisms depending on the market, but both keep the same non-custodial principle.

1. API key (Crypto — BingX)

You create an API key on BingX and enable only the Trade permission, while disabling Withdraw. AlphaSet re-checks the key's permissions when you paste it; if the key has withdrawal rights, the system warns you.

• Funds stay in your BingX account.
• The Engine uses the API key to place orders.
• The API key cannot withdraw funds — even technically.

2. SACO trading authorization (Vietnamese stocks — DNSE)

For Vietnamese stocks, you don't create or share any API key. Instead, you sign a trading authorization (SACO) directly inside DNSE's Entrade X app, allowing AlphaSet (Zeno JSC, acting as DNSE's SACO "Investment Companion" organization) to place orders on your behalf.

• Funds stay in the DNSE account held in your name.
• AlphaSet is only a legal order-placement agent — it holds no money and cannot withdraw.
• This is also what makes the model legal in Vietnam (see Connect DNSE & sign the authorization).

Revoke anytime

You are always in control. At any time you can:

• Delete / disable the API key on BingX, or
• Revoke the SACO trading authorization in Entrade X.

The moment you do, the Engine loses access and stops trading instantly. Your funds and any open positions remain untouched in your account for you to manage yourself.

See the Revoke access article for step-by-step instructions.
