    Questions, Answered Plainly

    Straight answers on governance, transparency, risk, and how STRATOS protects capital. If something isn't covered here, reach us through the contact page.

    STRATOS is AI-governed trading infrastructure. Rather than a signal service or a prediction bot, it is a governance system that wraps every trading decision in enforced risk controls, transparent logging, and recovery mechanisms. The product is the governance — the discipline around how capital is deployed and protected.

    A typical bot focuses on prediction and acts opaquely with few hard controls. STRATOS treats intelligence as a proposal engine only — every proposed action must pass through a governance layer, satisfy hard risk constraints, and be recorded in an audit chain before it can execute. Transparency and enforcement are first-class, not afterthoughts.

    Opportunities surfaced by the intelligence layer are submitted as proposals. The governance layer evaluates each against an explicit policy set, the risk engine enforces position, exposure, and drawdown limits as hard constraints, and only cleared actions reach execution. Every step — including rejections — is written to an append-only, tamper-evident audit record with its rationale.

    The AI does not operate unilaterally. It proposes; the governance and risk layers dispose. Hard constraints, kill conditions, and policy rules sit above the models and cannot be overridden by them. Human operators define and review the governing policy, and every automated decision remains fully traceable.

    Yes. Trading involves substantial risk, and you can lose capital — potentially a significant portion of it. STRATOS is engineered to enforce risk discipline and preserve capital, but no system can eliminate market risk or guarantee outcomes. Please read the full Risk Disclosure before participating.

    The risk engine enforces position sizing, exposure ceilings, and drawdown limits as hard constraints, with kill conditions that halt activity when thresholds are breached. These controls are designed to fail safe — when conditions are uncertain, the system blocks rather than acts.

    STRATOS is infrastructure and does not take custody of user funds in this preview. Custody and account arrangements will be clarified in full at public launch through regulated, qualified providers. See our Security Policy for the custody clarification.

    Supported markets and instruments will be confirmed at public launch. The governance, risk, recovery, and treasury engines are designed to be market-agnostic — the same enforcement discipline applies regardless of the underlying instruments monitored.

    Pricing will be published at public launch. We are committed to a transparent fee structure with no hidden costs, communicated clearly before any subscriber commits capital.

    All FAQ Answers

    What is STRATOS?
    STRATOS is AI-governed trading infrastructure. Rather than a signal service or a prediction bot, it is a governance system that wraps every trading decision in enforced risk controls, transparent logging, and recovery mechanisms. The product is the governance — the discipline around how capital is deployed and protected.
    How is this different from an AI trading bot?
    A typical bot focuses on prediction and acts opaquely with few hard controls. STRATOS treats intelligence as a proposal engine only — every proposed action must pass through a governance layer, satisfy hard risk constraints, and be recorded in an audit chain before it can execute. Transparency and enforcement are first-class, not afterthoughts.
    How does the governance actually work?
    Opportunities surfaced by the intelligence layer are submitted as proposals. The governance layer evaluates each against an explicit policy set, the risk engine enforces position, exposure, and drawdown limits as hard constraints, and only cleared actions reach execution. Every step — including rejections — is written to an append-only, tamper-evident audit record with its rationale.
    Who controls the AI?
    The AI does not operate unilaterally. It proposes; the governance and risk layers dispose. Hard constraints, kill conditions, and policy rules sit above the models and cannot be overridden by them. Human operators define and review the governing policy, and every automated decision remains fully traceable.
    Can I lose money?
    Yes. Trading involves substantial risk, and you can lose capital — potentially a significant portion of it. STRATOS is engineered to enforce risk discipline and preserve capital, but no system can eliminate market risk or guarantee outcomes. Please read the full Risk Disclosure before participating.
    How is risk managed?
    The risk engine enforces position sizing, exposure ceilings, and drawdown limits as hard constraints, with kill conditions that halt activity when thresholds are breached. These controls are designed to fail safe — when conditions are uncertain, the system blocks rather than acts.
    Who holds the funds?
    STRATOS is infrastructure and does not take custody of user funds in this preview. Custody and account arrangements will be clarified in full at public launch through regulated, qualified providers. See our Security Policy for the custody clarification.
    What markets are supported?
    Supported markets and instruments will be confirmed at public launch. The governance, risk, recovery, and treasury engines are designed to be market-agnostic — the same enforcement discipline applies regardless of the underlying instruments monitored.
    What are the fees?
    Pricing will be published at public launch. We are committed to a transparent fee structure with no hidden costs, communicated clearly before any subscriber commits capital.
