Signals and Strategies FAQ

Common questions about Alphio's Signal products and strategies, and how they relate to Copy Trade, Agentic Trading, and Auto Trade.


Why are the tickers on CoinSwing / Crypto Radar / AI Stock Picker / Event Signal / SwingMax / DayTrading masked in my account? Signals unlock with your subscription tier — they're bundled into the plans, not bought one by one:

  • CopyTrade Vault is available on every tier, including Free.
  • CoinSwing Signal unlocks at Basic and above.
  • Crypto Radar, AI Stock Picker, Stock Event Signal, and SwingMax Signal unlock at Plus and above.
  • DayTrading Signal unlocks at Pro and above — it is not included in Plus.
  • Crypto Event Signal is listed at Elite and above.
  • Without the required tier, each feed still shows one free sample (the first card on the first page); the other cards are masked. Closed Event Signal cards always show the real ticker.
  • Open Account → Subscription (/account/subscription) to confirm your tier, then open the product from the Copy Stock Signal / Copy Crypto Signal cards on the home page (Dashboard). Refresh the page if a newly unlocked product still looks locked after a few minutes.

Separately, a few strategies — Quant AI Alpha Pick, SwingMax Portfolio, Whale Auto Tracker, and AI Stock Picker — can also be subscribed to as standalone add-ons ($99.95 / quarter or $319.95 / year), independent of your tier. Quant AI Alpha Pick, SwingMax Portfolio, and Whale Auto Tracker are not included in any tier — you need the add-on even on Elite. See Subscription tiers and Pricing.

How accurate are signals historically? Each Signal product page shows its own track record (for example win rate, average or annualized return). There is no single "Alphio signal accuracy" number — results vary materially by product, market regime, and timeframe, and past performance does not guarantee future results.

What's the difference between Signals and Agentic Trading? They solve different problems:

  • Signals are curated entry / exit setups produced by Alphio's quant / research stack. You decide whether to act on each one — or turn on Copy Trade where it is offered.
  • Agentic Trading is goal-driven — you describe an objective in plain language and Alphio AI researches, plans, and (after approval) executes trades to meet it.
  • Auto Trade sits between the two: you configure explicit rules (triggers, sizing, stop-loss) and Alphio executes them programmatically.

Can I auto-execute every signal as it appears? Yes, for products that offer Copy Trade — open the product page and click Copy Trade:

Notes:

  • Stock Copy Trade needs a connected broker account (SnapTrade or Robinhood). You choose the amount to allocate (minimum $100) and how much of it each position uses.
  • CoinSwing Copy Trade sizes each entry either as a fixed margin amount or as a percentage of your balance, with leverage you choose; a protective stop-loss is placed for you but is not guaranteed to fill.
  • Crypto Radar has no Copy Trade — follow its setups manually.
  • Copy Trade for AI Stock Picker and Whale Auto Tracker is being opened gradually, so the option may not be available on every account yet.

See Copy trading for the full flow.

Why did a signal close before reaching its target? Every signal follows its own exit rules — a stop-loss can be hit, or the setup can run out of time. For example, closed Event Signal cards show one of these outcomes:

  • Target Hit — the target level was reached.
  • Stopped Out — the stop-loss level was hit.
  • Expired — the signal's time limit ran out before the target or stop was reached.
  • Closed — the signal was closed under its other exit rules.

Closed signals stay in the product's Closed / History view with their realized return, so you can review how they played out.

I subscribed but the signals still look locked — what's wrong? Work through this in order:

  • Confirm the subscription is active under Account → Subscription (not pending payment, not expired), and that your tier covers that product (see the first question — for example, DayTrading needs Pro, not Plus).
  • Check which view you are on: most products separate live setups (Opening / Open / Today) from finished ones (Closed / History).
  • Some products only produce new setups when their model finds a qualified opportunity, so the live list can be short or empty for a while.
  • If the subscription is active and the cards are still masked after a refresh, contact support with the product name and your account email.

Are signals time-sensitive — when should I act? Yes. The cadence differs by product:

  • DayTrading Signal — intraday; designed to be closed within the same session.
  • SwingMax Signal / CoinSwing Signal — multi-day swing setups.
  • Crypto Radar — short-term perpetual setups.
  • AI Stock Picker — weekly basket, rebalanced on Monday.
  • Quant AI Alpha Pick — mid-term portfolio, adjusted when signal conditions change.

Check the signal time, entry level, and current price before placing an order. If price has already moved well past the entry, the planned risk / reward may no longer hold — late entries are not a defect of the signal.
