Key terms on this page
What is the minimum balance required for each trading strategy?
BTC = 0.2 BTC
Spot BTC = 0.2 BTC
Spot USD = $20,000 USD
Are there any alternatives for users who can't meet the minimum required balance?
At the moment, all of our strategies have fixed minimum balance requirements. This threshold helps us maintain high-quality service and avoid potential operational inefficiencies.
What do I need to start using Sequence?
To use Sequence, you need to create an account on our website using your name and email address.
If you don't have a crypto exchange account, create one with one of our exchanges and get your identity verified.
You must then buy or transfer enough assets to your exchange to start your desired strategy. You must not send the coins to us.
Lastly, create API Keys on your exchange (so that our system can execute the trades for you) and submit them to us through your Sequence dashboard.
It's that simple! For more information on getting started please see our guides:
What are API Keys?
Trading from crypto exchanges are unique access codes provided by the exchanges to authorized users. These keys allow individuals or automated trading systems to interact with the exchange's trading platform programmatically.
By using these API keys, traders can retrieve market data, place buy and sell orders, and manage their accounts without needing to manually access the exchange's website. It enables efficient and automated trading strategies by allowing seamless communication between the trader's software and the exchange's systems. These keys usually do not have access to move funds out of the exchange.
For a visual walkthrough, watch this short video:
Can Sequence withdraw funds from my exchange with the API Keys?
API Keys only have permission to trade and never to withdraw. For some exchanges it is technically possible to create APIs that allow withdrawal. We do not require this permission to trade. You are encouraged to always check the API settings and verify this with your exchange.
Do I have to create a sub-account on my exchange?
All APIs must be submitted from an account or dedicated for trading with Sequence.
Versus using the main account, we highly recommend using a sub account to achieve this. It is also better for security and asset segregation.
Many of our clients trade multiple strategies. In order to support this, we ask that you create a sub-account for each strategy you want to trade.
It is important not to perform any manual trades within the sub-account linked to the bot, as this can disrupt the algorithm's performance.
Do you offer a step-by-step guide or tutorial for new users to help them get started with your platform?
Yes — we provide detailed step-by-step guides for all supported exchanges.

I am currently using one bot, but I want to add a different one. What should I do?
To add a new strategy, you will need to create a separate sub-account on your exchange.
Each strategy must operate within its own dedicated sub-account to ensure optimal performance and avoid conflicts.
Once the new sub-account is set up, generate a fresh set of API keys linked specifically to that sub-account and send them to us. This will allow us to properly configure the new bot without interfering with your existing setup.
If you need assistance with creating the sub-account or generating API keys, feel free to use our wikis for supported exchanges, go to:

Is the Palau ID still valid for KYC verification on Bybit?
As of March 2025, Bybit has temporarily suspended the acceptance of new Palau IDs for verification.
We recommend checking Bybit's official announcements or support pages for the most recent updates on this matter.
If you already have an active KYC verified with a Palau ID, the account may remain valid but we advise NOT TO refresh your ID with Bybit, as any new registrations or KYC updates using a Palau ID might not be accepted at this time.
However if using a Palau ID, we always recommend you maintain a valid ID in your possession and renew each year.
Do you offer a demo or paper trading?
Yes. You can observe the trading performance in paper trading mode before committing real capital. This lets you understand how the system works and build confidence without financial risk.
How do I track my performance?
Your exchange dashboard shows real-time and historical performance metrics including total returns, , win rate, and trade frequency. You can see exactly how each strategy is performing and how capital is being allocated. For step-by-step instructions, see How to Check Your PnL.
