Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
What is Tradingale?
Tradingale is a SaaS trading companion that helps users apply a predefined Martingale framework to crypto markets. It provides analytics, sequence generation, and secure API-based automation while keeping all sequence launches and cancellations under user control.
- A predefined Martingale sequence model applied consistently across supported instruments
- Martingale Score and Startingale metrics to assess model compatibility
- Live sequence statistics and performance analytics based on user activity
All tools are informational and technical; they are not investment advice or recommendations. You choose capital, sequence launch, and cancellation.
Visit our performance page to review aggregated live user sequence data (not forecasts).
Do I need to connect my exchange account?
No, automation is optional. You can follow the same Martingale sequence manually by placing orders directly on your exchange using the parameters displayed in Tradingale.
To enable technical automation of order placement, you can connect your exchange account using API keys with trading permissions only (no withdrawals). You remain in full control of your funds at all times.
API keys are stored with strong encryption and can be revoked at any time from your exchange dashboard.
Tradingale currently supports Binance and Kraken Pro exchanges.

Who uses Tradingale?
Tradingale is designed for traders who want to simplify the technical side of Martingale execution. It acts as a helper tool that handles sequence setup, order structuring, and automation without replacing your control.
It's suited for everyone from beginners to experienced traders who value precision, structure, and automation within a clear execution framework.
Is Tradingale regulated?
Tradingale is a technical SaaS trading companion operating under APE code 6201Z (Computer Programming). It does not:
- Hold or manage your funds, which remain on third-party exchanges
- Execute trades independently; only you can launch or cancel sequences at any time
- Provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or individualized risk assessments
The platform functions purely as a technical tool using your API keys to simplify order creation and sequence management. Orders are always generated and initiated by you through your own exchange account.
On this basis, Tradingale does not currently fall within activities requiring registration with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), ORIAS, or as a PSAN, as it provides technical infrastructure only and does not engage in regulated financial or digital-asset services.

How Martingale Works
What is the Martingale strategy?
Martingale is a trading method that increases position size when the market price declines, aiming to lower the overall average entry price. The approach is designed to reduce recovery distance when the market rebounds.
Tradingale's predefined sequence framework includes:
- Price Delta: the price movement that triggers the next order
- Number of Rounds: limited to a fixed maximum for structured risk control
- Quantity Multipliers: predefined scaling for each round
The Martingale sequence model used within Tradingale is predefined and evaluated with the Martingale Score and Startingale metrics. The structure is standardized, while parameter values are calibrated per instrument. You define the capital amount and may launch or cancel a sequence at any time.
Is Martingale safe or just gambling?
The Martingale approach can carry risk if applied without limits or clear parameters. It is not designed to predict price direction, but to manage how position sizes evolve during market fluctuations.
Tradingale applies predefined limits, data-driven indicators, and transparent rules to bring structure to this method. These features help you follow a consistent framework rather than rely on impulsive or speculative behavior.
As always, market conditions remain unpredictable, and you are responsible for your own trading decisions.
Why use Martingale in crypto?
Crypto markets are known for high volatility and continuous trading, which can accommodate structured strategies that adapt to price movements. Martingale sequences can be applied as a rule-based way of reacting to such fluctuations without requiring constant manual intervention.
Tradingale provides a predefined and automated version of this structure, allowing you to apply it consistently through your own exchange account. It remains a technical method, not an investment recommendation.
How is Tradingale different from automated trading tools?
Tradingale is not a discretionary trading system. It operates as a predefined and transparent framework focused exclusively on the Martingale methodology, offering a structured and standardized execution model.
- Uses proprietary Martingale Score and Startingale metrics to describe how market data aligns with the sequence model
- Applies a single Martingale framework across all traders for consistency and transparency
The system is rule-based and non-predictive, focusing on process integrity and your control rather than market forecasting or custom advice.
What happens if the sequence reaches the final round and the price continues dropping?
When all buy rounds are completed and the price continues declining, the sequence cannot place additional orders as it has reached its predefined limits.
At this point, you hold the accumulated position at an average entry price that is typically more favorable than the initial purchase, due to the scaling methodology. The position remains open until you decide to close it or the market price recovers to the target exit level.
This scenario demonstrates why position sizing and capital allocation are critical decisions. Tradingale provides the technical framework, but market outcomes remain unpredictable.
What does a high Martingale Score mean?
A high Martingale Score indicates that, based on historical data, a trading pair's price movements and liquidity patterns have statistically aligned well with the Martingale sequence model.
The score is an analytical measure designed to evaluate compatibility between market behavior and predefined sequence logic. It does not predict future performance, guarantee results, or constitute a trading signal.
Scores update continuously and can be explored on the Scoreboard page for informational purposes only.
Using Tradingale
How do I start trading with Tradingale?
After signing up and (optionally) connecting your exchange, you can view predefined Martingale sequences with their Martingale Score and Startingale compatibility metrics.
You decide whether to allocate capital and when to launch or cancel a sequence. All activity occurs directly through your own exchange account via secure API connection, where used.
Why do you recommend starting a sequence with $500 or more?
Exchanges enforce minimum order quantities per trading pair. With lower capital, rounding adjustments may absorb part of your profit, which remains as a small crypto amount in your portfolio rather than being converted back to stablecoin.
Around $500 per sequence is generally sufficient to ensure rounding has negligible impact on your returns.
Can I track my results?
Yes. The dashboard shows active and past sequences with performance statistics so you can review how your sequences have performed over time.
You'll also receive email and Telegram notifications when sequences complete.
Do I need to monitor my trades all the time?
No constant monitoring is required. Once a sequence is launched, Tradingale coordinates order placement and tracking automatically through your exchange connection.
You can view round progress and live updates directly from the dashboard. All automation follows the predefined parameters chosen at launch, without modification or discretionary action.
The automation is purely technical and operates strictly within your approved settings.
What is the Tradingale Rank system?
The Tradingale Rank system reflects your experience and activity based on completed Martingale sequences. It provides a transparent way to recognize consistent engagement within the platform.
Ranks progress from Novice Martingaler to Alpha Martingaler. Higher ranks may receive faster internal update scheduling and processing priority within the system's technical queue.
Rank does not alter sequence parameters or confer any performance guarantee; it only reflects usage history and internal processing order.
How do I set up API automation?
Connect your exchange account using API keys that allow trading permissions only — never withdrawals. Tradingale uses these credentials to communicate with your exchange securely and execute the sequences you launch.
We currently support Binance and Kraken Pro. Other exchanges can be used in manual mode, where you place orders yourself based on the same parameters.
API keys are encrypted and stored securely. You remain in full control of your funds at all times, as Tradingale cannot move or withdraw assets from your account.
Check our documentation for detailed setup instructions for each exchange.
Does Tradingale have a REST API?
Yes, Tradingale offers a REST API for programmatic access to Martingale scores and instrument data. This allows you to integrate Tradingale data into your own applications, spreadsheets, or trading systems.
The API is available for Martingale Maestro subscribers, with tiers ranging from 100 to 10,000 calls/month. Each endpoint has a weight that counts toward your monthly limit.
To get started, generate a Bearer token in Settings → API, then use it to authenticate requests to https://tradingale.com/api/martingale.
See our documentation for endpoint details and usage examples.
What is MCP and how do I use it?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that allows AI assistants like Claude Desktop and Cursor to access external data sources. Tradingale's MCP server lets you query Martingale scores and market data directly through your AI assistant.
To set it up, simply run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http tradingale https://tradingale.com/api/mcpYour browser will open for login. Once authenticated, you can ask your AI assistant questions like "What are the top crypto tokens by Martingale score?" and it will fetch live data from Tradingale.
See our MCP setup guide for detailed instructions.
MCP calls use the same API quota as REST calls. Available tools include market overviews, instrument searches, and top performers by score.
Account & Security
Can Tradingale access or withdraw my funds?
No. Tradingale cannot withdraw, transfer, or move your funds in any way. The API keys you provide are configured with trading permissions only — withdrawals are explicitly disabled.
Your funds remain on your exchange at all times. Tradingale only places buy and sell orders within the sequences you launch. You can revoke API access instantly from your exchange dashboard.
All API keys are encrypted using AES-256 encryption before storage. We never see or store your keys in plaintext.
How does Tradingale handle my funds and data?
Tradingale never holds or transfers funds. All assets remain in your exchange account. The platform executes sequences through your API connection.
You provide and manage API keys. Tradingale places and updates orders for your selected sequences only — never withdrawals or transfers.
Only balances relevant to active sequences are read for calculations (e.g., USDC on Binance or USDC/USD on Kraken Pro). Other balances are not accessed.
All credentials are encrypted and stored securely. Tradingale follows strict data protection and privacy standards.
What exchanges are supported?
Tradingale currently supports Binance and Kraken Pro, selected for their liquidity and stable API infrastructure.
If you trade on other exchanges, you can use Manual Mode. This mode provides the same sequence structure and parameters at the time of generation, allowing you to replicate each step manually on your own exchange.
Manual Mode is entirely self-managed. Tradingale does not automate or track these trades — you manage execution while following the provided sequence logic.
Is my payment information secure?
Payments are securely processed using Stripe's secure payment system, which encrypts sensitive data during transmission and storage.
As a trusted custodian of customer information, Stripe adheres to the highest industry standards, having achieved PCI Service Provider Level 1 certification, the most rigorous level in the payments industry.
Tradingale does not store your payment information — all payment data is handled exclusively by Stripe.
Can I cancel my subscription at any time?
You can cancel your subscription at any time. Monthly subscribers will have access until the end of the current billing month, and yearly subscribers until the end of their paid year.
After this period, paid features will be inaccessible until you renew your subscription.

Can I get a refund?
All payments for Tradingale subscriptions are final. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS FOR ANY REASON ON PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS.
