Every signal gets a verdict.
7 independent AI agents evaluate each signal. Their scores are weighted and combined into a single percentage.
GO
Strong confirmation across agents. Position opens automatically on your exchange. No action needed.
UNCERTAIN
Mixed signals. You receive a Telegram notification with a Yes/No button. You decide within 10 hours.
SKIP
Signal is too weak. Ignored automatically. Shadow tracking records whether skipping was the right call.
Extreme Fear + LONG and Extreme Greed + SHORT positions are always blocked, regardless of score.
Your money never leaves your exchange.
No withdrawal access
Your API key has no withdrawal permissions — it is technically impossible for CERTIRON to move funds off your exchange.
Read + Futures Trading only
CERTIRON only executes futures trades. It cannot touch your spot balance or initiate any transfers.
Revoke anytime
You can delete your API key on MEXC or BloFin at any moment. CERTIRON loses access instantly.
Keys stay on your exchange
Your API credentials are stored encrypted and never exposed in plain text. CERTIRON never sees your full secret after initial setup.
What CERTIRON cannot do
- ❌ Withdraw funds from your account
- ❌ Transfer funds to another address
- ❌ Access your spot balance
- ❌ Trade on your behalf without API access
Common questions.
What happens if the bot makes a bad trade?
Every trade has a Stop Loss set automatically. A daily loss limit caps your maximum drawdown. Circuit breakers halt trading if conditions deteriorate rapidly.
Can CERTIRON send my funds to another account?
No. This is technically impossible. Your API key has no withdrawal permissions. Even if CERTIRON were compromised, no funds could move.
Does this work with Spot trading?
No. CERTIRON operates exclusively on Futures markets. Spot balances are never touched.
Can I pause or stop the bot?
Yes. From your dashboard or via Telegram commands (/stop, /start). You remain in full control at all times.
