Frequently Asked Questions

Anthology is currently in beta. Visitors can explore public market information and the Daily Brief, while approved tester accounts use virtual funds in Practice mode. Public Stripe checkout is not live, and Trader and Pro are not currently for sale.

No. The public beta is for Practice trading only. Practice orders and portfolio results are simulated and never move money at Coinbase, OKX, or another exchange.

No. You can create an account and explore the beta without a card, deposit, or exchange connection. If a specific broker-connection test is requested, follow the administrator's instructions and never enable withdrawal permissions.

Create an Anthology account, then provide the account email to the beta administrator. Some Practice AI features may appear only after the tester profile has been provisioned.

Practice uses simulated funds so you can learn without financial risk. Live sends eligible orders to a connected exchange and therefore uses real funds. Live access is not part of the current public beta.

Manual means you choose and submit the trade. AI means Anthology evaluates market signals and may propose or execute an eligible trade, depending on the selected mode and permissions. In the current beta, both workflows are limited to Practice mode.

The proposed Free plan includes market information and Manual plus AI Practice trading. The proposed Trader plan adds manual live spot trading. The proposed Pro plan adds eligible automated live and derivatives workflows. Trader and Pro features, pricing, and availability may change before launch.

No. Stripe remains in test mode and public paid checkout is disabled. You can register interest on the Plans page, but doing so does not start a subscription or enable live trading.

No. No model, signal, or strategy can guarantee a profit. Crypto markets can move quickly, data can be delayed, and orders can experience slippage or fail. A decision not to trade can be a valid risk-management result.

The strategy may lack a sufficiently strong signal, or a protection rule may block the order. Balance, minimum order size, spread, volatility, stale data, broker availability, certification, and exposure limits can all prevent a trade.

The platform has workflows for spot trading and eligible long, short, and futures strategies. Actual availability depends on the plan, exchange, account permissions, country, product eligibility, margin funding, contract size, and Anthology's safety checks. These live workflows are not available to public beta testers.

Not simply because its value falls. An exit requires a configured rule such as a stop loss, invalidated signal, maximum holding period, take profit, or portfolio guardrail. Even protective orders cannot eliminate gaps, slippage, or exchange risk.

No. In the current implementation, a successful live unlock remains active until the user selects Lock AI trading. Emergency pause, disabling AI, lost eligibility or readiness, broker or certification failures, and an operational rollback can still stop execution. If only the live-entry unlock is inactive, new exposure is blocked while verified automated take-profit, stop-loss, and position-reducing exits remain eligible.

No. Funds remain at the connected exchange. Anthology reads account information and, only for an eligible authorized live workflow, can submit permitted orders through the exchange API.

Use only the permissions required for the feature being tested. Read-only access is sufficient for portfolio viewing. Future live trading requires trade permission, but Anthology should never need withdrawal or transfer permission.

Yes. Use a strong unique password and enable sign-in verification in Settings. Also enable the strongest authentication available on the connected exchange.

They are informational snapshots and may be delayed, incomplete, or temporarily unavailable. Always check the displayed update time and verify critical information with the exchange before making a financial decision.

No. The Tax Center is a preparation aid that organizes eligible live spot fills recorded by Anthology. It is not a tax return, does not determine your tax liability, and does not replace advice from a qualified tax professional.

No. It is a FIFO portfolio-performance estimate from Anthology-recorded fills. Tax calculations can use different rules and require your complete transaction history, jurisdiction, income events, transfers, and individual circumstances.

Anthology records orders submitted through the platform, but it does not yet import deposits, withdrawals, rewards, transfers, wallet activity, or trades made elsewhere. Add every exchange and wallet directly to your chosen tax software before preparing a report.

The export contains eligible live spot fills recorded by Anthology for one exchange. It includes all recorded years to preserve earlier acquisition history. Practice trades and derivatives are excluded, and you must verify quantities, fees, currencies, and order references against the exchange statement before importing.
