Software that can trade with your money must be built with care. Here is every safeguard, the modes it works in, and what it cannot do.
Your money stays in your own account
This is true in every mode. ForecastsPro never holds your money.
Paper and Real money trade through an API key that you create. For Real money the app asks Binance what your key may do, and it accepts only a trade-only key. It refuses a key that can withdraw or transfer money, or trade margin, futures or options. It also refuses a key with no IP restriction: you restrict yours to our server IP address (chapter 7). It checks the key when you switch Real money on, before every real-money analysis and before every real order.
Saved keys are encrypted and never shown again. You can remove one on the API keys card at any time.
Manual mode needs no exchange keys: the app places no order and reads no balance.
A risk gate the AI cannot change
In every mode, each decision passes these rules:
- Watchlist only. A coin that is not on your watchlist is blocked.
- Minimum confidence. A decision under the minimum confidence of your risk level is blocked.
- Per-coin cap. No coin takes more than its share of your budget.
- Total budget cap. All positions together stay within your budget.
- Sells only positions. Only a position can be sold: a coin the app bought or, in Manual mode, a buy you confirmed.
A buy too large for a cap is made smaller. With no room left, it is blocked. Coins that were already in your account are never sold and never counted.
The three risk levels, exactly as coded
| Rule | Low | Medium | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per-coin cap (share of budget) | 5% | 15% | 30% |
| Daily-loss limit (share of budget) | 2% | 5% | 10% |
| Minimum confidence | 0.70 | 0.60 | 0.50 |
| Default stop-loss | 3% | 5% | 10% |
| Default take-profit | 6% | 10% | 20% |
You pick a level, not each rule. Only stop-loss and take-profit can also be set on their own. A confidence of 0.70 is 70%.
The daily-loss kill switch
For each mode, the app adds up the profit and loss of the trades closed in the last 24 hours. When the loss is over your daily-loss limit, the kill switch pauses new buys. Buys start again when that loss is back under the limit. Sells, stop-loss and take-profit orders still go through. In Manual mode the kill switch counts the sales you confirm.
A stop-loss and take-profit after every buy
In Paper and Real money, the app places two sell orders on Binance after each buy. The take-profit sells when the price has risen by your take-profit percentage, the stop-loss when it has fallen by your stop-loss percentage. When one sells, Binance cancels the other. If Binance refuses the pair, the app tries again, and the dashboard warns in red (chapter 5).
In Manual mode each buy comes with both prices, and you set the two orders yourself.
Real money stays locked until the safety checks pass
Off, Manual mode and Paper are always available. Real money needs every safety check on the Trading mode card:
- Real money is open on the platform and allowed in your country.
- Your email is confirmed.
- You acknowledged the current Risk Disclosure.
- Your Binance key is trade-only and IP-restricted.
Each time you switch to Real money, you accept the disclaimer and set two limits: a maximum amount, and a loss lock that stops all trading (chapter 7). We recommend a separate Binance account for it, with only the money you are prepared to trade.
Everything is recorded
Your decision journal keeps every decision, in every mode, with its reasoning and the gate's verdict. You can download all of it. If Binance does not answer an order, the app looks the order up and does not send it again.
What safety cannot do
The limits lower risk. They do not remove it. A stop-loss does not guarantee the exit price, and when the price jumps it may not sell at all. An exchange can be down or refuse an order. The budget limits the money at work, not what a falling market can cost. In Manual mode the limits count only the trades you confirm (chapter 8). The AI can be wrong, nothing here is advice, and you can lose money. Trade only money you can afford to lose.
