AlphaHouse runs its strategies in your own exchange account. You connect a supported account with trade-only access, and our system places the strategy’s orders there. You do not deposit trading funds with AlphaHouse, and we do not have withdrawal access.
On Bitget and Gate, the exchanges hold the assets in your account. That is not self-custody of those assets. Hyperliquid is an on-chain venue with a different custody model. In all three cases, AlphaHouse does not take custody of your funds. Keeping funds outside AlphaHouse does not remove exchange, protocol or trading risk.
What you give us access to
You connect an exchange account using permissions that allow trading, not withdrawals. We use that access to run a long/short crypto strategy: we rank markets, hold positions on both sides, and rebalance the book each weekday. You get those daily ranking and sizing decisions handled for you.
Permission to trade is still permission to take risk. Revoking access leaves existing positions open.
Trade-only access limits what we can do with your funds, but it does not make trading risk-free. Orders can lose money, and a compromised trading key could be used to place unwanted trades.
You can revoke our access at your exchange. Revoking access does not close positions already open or necessarily cancel outstanding orders. Check your positions and open orders if you disconnect.
How we protect connection credentials
Exchange credentials are encrypted at rest, with the encryption key kept separately from the database. Our security policy describes these controls and how to report a suspected problem. Use a unique AlphaHouse password and restrict the API key by IP address where your venue supports it. If you suspect unauthorized access, revoke the key at the exchange first, then contact security@alphahouse.ai.
Canceling, disconnecting and closing positions
These actions do different jobs:
- Cancel your subscription: A voluntary cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. Automated trading can continue until then. When it ends following your cancellation, open positions remain yours to manage or close.
- Revoke exchange access: This prevents further use of that connection. Positions already open and orders already submitted still need checking at the exchange.
- Close positions: This changes your market exposure, but does not cancel your subscription or revoke access. If automation is still running, a later rebalance can place new trades.
Our Terms of Service explain cancellation and other circumstances in which trading stops. Use the connection guide when disconnecting.
Where you can run it
We currently support Bitget, Gate and Hyperliquid. The current minimum account sizes are:
- Bitget: $2,500.
- Gate: $2,500.
- Hyperliquid: About $5,000, because its minimum order size is higher.
Why have a minimum at all? The strategy holds around twenty positions. If an account is too small, some orders fall below the exchange’s minimum size. Those positions may not execute, leaving you with a smaller, less balanced book than the strategy calls for.
Twenty intended positions, shown conceptually. Dashed bars are too small to place; they do not become holdings.
The exchange guide explains how we choose venues and why their floors differ. These account minimums are sizing guidance, not a guarantee that every order will execute. Availability depends on where you live and each venue’s rules.
Check the record before connecting
Our performance page shows the daily record, drawdowns and how we calculate the curves. The published curves use recorded signals and modeled fees, slippage and funding; they are not actual customer-account returns. Including those costs gives you a more useful comparison than a chart that assumes cost-free trades, but cannot guarantee your own fills or returns.
Adaptive risk scaling was developed on part of that history, and the page marks when the configuration was frozen. Past results do not predict what will happen in your account.
You pay a flat subscription rather than a share of profits. Plans and current prices are on the homepage. Exchange fees, slippage and funding still affect your trading result.
If trading on a supported exchange fits you, open an AlphaHouse account and connect your exchange with trade-only access. Crypto perpetual futures and leverage can cause substantial losses, including the loss of your capital. Read the risk statement before deciding.
