§01Operating principles

Four invariants that hold under every market condition.

The commitments we build around — non-custodial, encrypted, open-source, and testable. Every one is verifiable from outside our perimeter.

I

Non-custodial by architecture

Your funds never leave the exchange. VolatiCloud orchestrates execution via your API key — we recommend enabling trading but disabling withdrawals at the venue. Keys, whitelists, and the audit trail stay with you.

Verify it yourself — inspect the API-key permissions on any connection
II

AES-256-GCM credential encryption

Every exchange API key, runner credential, and webhook secret is encrypted at the field level with AES-256-GCM, using per-organization wrapping keys. Strategy code and backtests are not secrets and are stored normally.

Field-level encryption · per-org isolation · optional E2EE / BYOK
III

Open-source trading core

Built on Freqtrade — 30,000+ GitHub stars, MIT licensed, community-reviewed. Export any strategy to native Python on demand. No proprietary execution layer, no lock-in.

github.com/freqtrade · MIT licensed · community-reviewed engine
IV

Test before you risk capital

Backtest every strategy against real historical market data, then run it in dry-run mode against live prices with no capital at risk. Go live only when you're ready.

Backtest on real data · dry-run on live prices · no capital at risk
§02System architecture

The control plane between you and the venue.

VolatiCloud sits between your operator surfaces and the exchange perimeter. Every signed exchange request originates here; no funds, no withdrawals, and no custody ever cross the venue boundary.

Operator surfacesTIER I
Orchestration plane · non-custodial perimeterTIER II
  • Field-level AES-256-GCM on credentials
  • Per-org wrapping keys · isolated
  • Optional passphrase E2EE / BYOK
  • Funds stay on the exchange
Venue perimeter · funds custodyTIER III
INVARIANT 01

Custody never crosses

Funds remain on the exchange; we recommend disabling withdrawals at the venue.

INVARIANT 02

Credentials are encrypted

Field-level AES-256-GCM on exchange keys, runner credentials, and webhook secrets.

INVARIANT 03

Per-organization isolation

Strategies, keys, bots, and data are scoped per organization with fine-grained authorization.

INVARIANT 04

Open and exportable

Strategies compile to standard Freqtrade Python you can take anywhere — no lock-in.

§03The platform

The full operating stack for the trader.

Most “crypto bot” tools sell you a template marketplace. VolatiCloud gives you the primitives a serious operator actually needs — strategy authoring, execution, backtesting, reinforcement learning, risk, and team operations — under one dashboard.

§04Encryption & security

Credentials encrypted before they reach our database.

Every exchange API key, runner credential, and webhook secret is encrypted at the field level with AES-256-GCM and a per-organization wrapping key. Strategy code and backtests aren't secrets and are stored normally.

Plaintext lives only inside the request perimeter — for the moment it takes to sign an exchange request — then is discarded. It is never written to disk and never logged. Organizations that want to hold the key themselves can enable passphrase-based end-to-end encryption or bring-your-own-key.

Even if our database were exfiltrated, an attacker would walk away with ciphertext bound to per-org keys they cannot reach.

01 / WHAT WE DON'T DO

We never hold your funds.

Withdrawals can be disabled at the API-key level. The exchange enforces it; we cannot override it.

02 / WHAT WE DON'T DO

We never log plaintext.

Structured logs strip credentials before they hit any sink. Secrets are encrypted at the field level.

03 / WHAT WE DON'T DO

We never share your data.

Strategy code, parameters, and PnL are isolated per organization.

§05Risk controls

Stop a strategy before it stops you.

Every bot runs behind Freqtrade's risk controls — stoploss, drawdown protection, stoploss guards, and cooldowns. They're enforced server-side, so they keep working even if your browser is closed. Values shown are illustrative.

Risk · Example controlsIllustrative
ControlScopeCurrentThresholdHeadroom
StoplossPer trade−1.2%−5.0%76%
Max drawdown protectionPortfolio−2.4%−8.0%70%
Stoploss guardPer pair1475%
Max open tradesPer bot4667%
Stake per tradeSizing$420$60070%
Cooldown after exitPer pair2667%
Server-side protectionsSurvive client disconnect

Halt automatically when reality diverges from the backtest.

Configure per-pair and bot-level protections that pause entries or close positions. The active selection shows the behaviour for stoploss.

SELECTED CONTROLStoploss

A fixed stop-loss closes a trade when it falls below the configured percentage from entry. Trailing stoploss can lock in gains as price rises.

  • Stoploss & trailing stoploss — close losing trades automatically
  • MaxDrawdown — pause new entries past a drawdown limit
  • StoplossGuard — lock a pair after repeated stops
  • LowProfitPairs — lock pairs whose recent profit is too low
  • CooldownPeriod — block re-entry for N candles after a close
§06Connected venues

Connect once. Trade every major venue.

Route one strategy across multiple exchanges, or isolate each bot to its own account. All 14 venues support spot; 8 support futures; margin is available on Binance. Wherever Freqtrade ships support, we ship in lock-step.

§07Reinforcement learning

Train RL agents in the cloud. No major competitor offers this.

Reinforcement learning agents learn a trading policy from your market data instead of following hand-written rules. Build the reward visually or in Python, pick an algorithm, and train — FreqAI-native, running inline on your existing bot runners. No separate GPU job, no extra infrastructure.

ALGORITHMS
PPOA2CDQNQRDQNTRPOMaskable PPO
  • Visual reward builder. Compose the reward from profit, drawdown, holding time, and trade outcomes — or drop into Python for full control.
  • Inline on your runners. Training runs on the same FreqAI pipeline that powers backtests — no GPU job to provision, no database migration.
  • Honest about cost. Training uses credits, and longer runs cost more. You see an estimate before you start, and progress while it trains.
PROENTERPRISEReinforcement learning is included on Pro and Enterprise plans.

§08Strategy authoring

Visual builder. Native Python. One strategy.

Compose conditions and indicators visually, or write a Freqtrade-compatible Python file in Code Mode. The visual builder compiles to native Freqtrade Python — readable, forkable, and versioned, with 27 indicators to choose from.

§09Runtime · Bot runners

Run bots on our infrastructure. Or yours.

VolatiCloud orchestrates Freqtrade through a pluggable runtime layer. Use our managed fleet, or bring your own Docker or Kubernetes cluster. Every TLS cert, kubeconfig, registry login, and backup key is field-level encrypted before it lands in our database.

§10Backtesting & hyperopt

Validate against real market data.

Backtest every strategy on real historical market data across all 14 venues, with 27 indicators to choose from. Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, max drawdown, and per-trade results. The backtest below is a real one anyone can open and fork — not an illustration.

Backtest · curated exampleREAL · SHAREABLE

A real backtest anyone can run — example shown for illustration. Past results are not a promise of future performance, and nothing here is financial advice.

§11Monitoring & alerts

Know the moment something moves.

Watch every bot's PnL, open trades, and health in real time. Create rules for trade events, drawdowns, halted bots, and connection issues — delivered by email and the in-app notification bell. Slack, Telegram, and webhook delivery are on the roadmap.

§13Security & trust

The substance, not a badge wall.

We market what we actually do. VolatiCloud does not advertise third-party compliance badges or attestations it has not earned — and we won't claim any we don't hold. Here's the real security posture you can verify for yourself.

ARCHITECTURE

Non-custodial

Funds stay on your exchange. We recommend an API key with trading enabled and withdrawals disabled — the venue enforces it.

CREDENTIALS

AES-256-GCM encryption

Field-level encryption on every exchange key, runner credential, and webhook secret, with per-organization wrapping keys.

OPTIONAL

End-to-end encryption & BYOK

Optionally hold the key yourself with passphrase-based E2EE or bring-your-own-key. No passphrase, no decryption.

TENANCY

Per-organization isolation

Strategies, keys, bots, and data are scoped per organization with fine-grained authorization.

NO LOCK-IN

Open-source engine

Built on Freqtrade — MIT licensed, community-reviewed. Export your strategies to native Python any time.

SAFETY

Test before you risk

Backtest on real historical data, dry-run against live prices, then go live when you're ready.

§14How we compare

The honest comparison.

Self-hosted Freqtrade is excellent software — and we run it for you. Marketplace bots optimise for marketing, not risk. Custodial platforms take your funds. VolatiCloud is the operator-grade middle: hosted, encrypted, non-custodial.

§16Frequently asked

The questions our users ask first.

VolatiCloud is a cloud-hosted control plane for automated cryptocurrency trading bots. It pairs a visual strategy builder with the open-source Freqtrade engine, real-data backtesting, hyperparameter optimization, reinforcement learning, and 24/7 monitoring across 14 exchanges — all from a single dashboard.

Funds always stay on your exchange account. VolatiCloud only orchestrates — we connect to the exchange via your API key and place orders on your behalf. You keep withdrawal rights, withdrawal whitelists, and a full audit trail. We never hold custody of your assets.

API keys and other secrets are encrypted at the field level with AES-256-GCM, never logged in plaintext, and isolated per organization. We strongly recommend creating an exchange API key with trading enabled but withdrawals disabled. Optional passphrase-based end-to-end encryption (E2EE) and bring-your-own-key (BYOK) are available for organizations that want to hold the key themselves.

We support 14 venues — every exchange the open-source Freqtrade engine ships with: Binance, Binance US, BingX, Bitget, BitMart, Bitvavo, Bybit, Gate.io, HTX, Hyperliquid (DEX), Kraken, KuCoin, OKX, and MyOKX (EEA). All 14 support spot trading; 8 support futures; margin is available on Binance. New exchanges land in lock-step with each Freqtrade upstream release.

Both, depending on how you use it. The trading engine is Freqtrade itself, so any strategy that runs in Freqtrade runs on VolatiCloud unchanged. On top of that we've built a visual strategy builder, multi-exchange management, a hyperopt UI, dashboards, and alerting. If you'd otherwise self-host Freqtrade on a VPS, VolatiCloud is the managed version. If you've never used Freqtrade, the visual builder gets you to a live bot without writing Python.

Yes. Drop your strategy.py into the Code Mode editor and the bot picks it up exactly as it would in a self-hosted Freqtrade install. You can also use Code Mode to extend strategies generated by the visual builder — the builder compiles to native Freqtrade Python.

Not at all. The Visual Strategy Builder lets you create strategies using a drag-and-drop condition tree with 27 built-in indicators, leverage controls, and long/short support. Coding experience helps if you want to drop into Python via Code Mode, but it's entirely optional.

Yes — Pro includes a 7-day free trial, and no credit card is required to start. Add an exchange, build a strategy, and run live bots for a week at no cost. After the trial, Pro is $29.99/month (or $24.99/month billed annually). Cancel any time before the trial ends and you owe nothing.

Yes — and we strongly recommend it. Every strategy can be backtested against real historical market data with detailed metrics: win rate, Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, max drawdown, profit factor, and more. You can also run any bot in dry-run mode to simulate live trading on real-time prices without risking capital.

Alerts are delivered by email and through the in-app notification bell today. You can create rules for trade events, drawdowns, halted bots, and connection issues. Slack, Telegram, and webhook delivery are on the roadmap.

Starter is $3.99/month (or $3.49/month annual) for up to 2 bots. Pro is $29.99/month for up to 10 bots, hyperopt, reinforcement learning, and code mode. Enterprise is $79.99/month for up to 50 bots and team management. Unlike most competitors, we charge a flat fee — never a percentage of your trading volume or PnL. Exchange trading fees are paid directly to the exchange.

Yes. Subscriptions are month-to-month with no contract. Cancel from the billing page and you'll keep access through the end of the current period. We also support deferred downgrades — switch to a smaller plan and the change takes effect at the next renewal.
