What issues does Sequence solve for digital asset holders?
Profiting from holding digital assets via trading
One of the main challenges with digital assets is the lack of stable cash flow, unlike traditional investments such as real estate, dividend stocks, or physical businesses.
There are obviously coin generative schemes such as farming and staking. However, the returns for the major chains are somewhat limited (staking) or somewhat complex (farming).
Nonetheless, it is possible to trade assets to accumulate your base asset. This obviously comes with risk. Our automated trading strategies are designed to help you profit from market . Operating 24/7, our algorithms make strategic trades as the market oscillates.
Please see our individual product guides for further details on the risks that differ with the product type:
What are the risks associated with using Sequence's algorithmic trading platform, and how can users mitigate them?
Investing in financial products, including our algorithmic trading system, inherently carries risks.
Despite our algorithm's ability to withstand daily volatility swings in the assets we trade, there is no guarantee of market price action. events or other unforeseeable circumstances can also result in losses. It's crucial to keep in mind that past performance is not indicative of future results and investing in our system involves risks. We recommend seeking advice from a financial advisor to determine if our service aligns with your trading goals and risk tolerance.
It's important to understand the potential risks of trading digital assets, especially when using leveraged products. These risks include but are not limited to , , exchange counterparty risk, and stablecoin de-peg risk, among others. While our system is designed to operate effectively in challenging market conditions, it's important to consider these risks before starting to trade with Sequence.
Moreover, to help mitigate potential risks at any time, we recommend maintaining a funded margin account alongside your strategy — this applies specifically to products. Doing so provides an added layer of protection and supports effective risk management.
As with any trading strategy, we encourage you to conduct your own due diligence and carefully consider your investment goals and risk tolerance before engaging with our platform.
For more information please see our individual product pages and risk disclosures:
We always recommend you consult an investment professional and understand all the associated risks.
Why are your results higher than traditional investments?
Our results are not comparable to traditional investments, as they are based on trading highly volatile assets.
While higher volatility can increase profit potential, it also carries greater risk. As such, our performance reflects the dynamic nature of active trading — not the steady, linear returns typically associated with traditional investment approaches.
We strongly recommend consulting with a qualified investment professional and ensuring you fully understand the risks involved before participating.
What's the average expected ROI (return on investment) I should expect?
While past performance is not a guarantee of future profits, we can only present our historical performance. We display this information on individual product pages:
Market conditions and other factors can impact returns. Performance, trade count, and risk exposure are all affected by volatility. It's important to carefully consider your trading goals and risk tolerance before making any trading decisions.
Why is volatility important?
Volatility refers to the degree of price fluctuation in the financial market. It is commonly used as an indicator of risk.
In the context of algorithmic trading, higher bidirectional price action and volatility increases the likelihood of significant price movements. This can positively impact the performance of our algorithms by enabling the use of a larger portion of your available balance for trading. For further information please see our article on volatility:
Do you custody my funds or manage my portfolio?
No, we do not custody your assets or manage your portfolio — you remain in full control of your funds at all times. Our platform operates by delivering automated trading signals through your exchange account via API.
This means we never hold or access your assets directly. All funds remain securely within your own exchange account, and you retain sole responsibility for managing them.
Our system is designed to enhance your trading experience while maintaining complete control and security over your assets.
Can I buy the algorithm?
In short, no! But instead of buying the algo, you can just use it!
Additionally, if you know someone who would benefit from it, you can share it and get paid $200 for every referral :) Please contact support@tradewithsequence.com for more information.

How is Sequence different from other trading bots?
Most trading bots run a single strategy with fixed rules. When market conditions change, they underperform until someone manually adjusts parameters. Sequence's multi-strategy system adapts automatically — when conditions shift, different strategies naturally take over. It's the same principle that makes multi-strategy hedge funds the most consistent performers in institutional finance.
Which exchanges are supported?
We currently support Binance, Bybit, Bitget, BloFin, Kraken, KuCoin, and OKX among others. We're continuously adding more exchanges based on user demand. For the latest list and setup guides, visit the Getting Started section.
