FAQ

General

What is Formion AI? A multi-asset, AI-powered trading platform — crypto, forex, stocks, commodities, options and prediction markets in one place. It combines AI analysis, automated bots, deep market data, backtesting, copy trading and a trading journal, accessible from the web app (app.formion.ai) and from Telegram (FORA). See The App.

Does Formion hold my money? No. Formion is non-custodial — it connects to your exchange via API keys (trade-only, no withdrawal) and your funds stay on your own exchange. Formion Wallet is self-custody too: only you hold its key. The one exception is Dossier Autopilot: it trades from a separate auto-trade wallet that you fund, its key is held by the Formion signer, and withdrawals go only to your verified wallet. See Security and FOM token.

Which exchanges and markets are supported? 8 CEX you can link (Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, MEXC, Bitget, Gate, Blofin, BingX; OKX, Coinbase and Kraken are marked coming soon), 4 DEX perps venues (Hyperliquid, Asterdex, Bluefin, Extended), forex and CFDs through cTrader broker accounts (e.g. FP Markets, IC Markets, Pepperstone), prediction-market accounts (Polymarket, Kalshi, Limitless), plus market data and analysis for stocks, commodities and crypto options. See Markets.

Account & plans

How much does it cost? There’s a free Neural tier, Pro at $89/mo and Institutional at $499/mo. New accounts get 7 days of Pro free (no card required) once the email address is confirmed — one trial per person and device. Full breakdown: Pricing & Tiers.

How can I pay? Crypto, PayPal, card? At the formion.ai checkout you can pay in crypto — USDT or USDC on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BSC or Solana, USDT on Tron (TRC20), or BTC / SOL / LTC — or with PayPal on the same checkout page. You can also pay with Telegram Crypto Pay via /license in @formiontradingbot, which gets an extra 3% discount. Card payments are not available. Licences are priced in USD and paid one-time per period (no auto-renewal); see Pricing.

Can I get a refund? A licence is refunded within 7 days of the payment if the paid features did not work because of a problem on our side or you were charged by mistake (renewals and upgrades: 72 hours); duplicate payments and overpayments are always refunded, trading results never. Request it at formion.ai/refunds or [email protected]. Crypto refunds go out in USDC or USDT to the wallet you give us (same network you paid on), minus the network fee; PayPal payments are refunded through PayPal.

What is BYOK? Bring Your Own Key — connect your own AI provider key (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, xAI, DeepSeek, Moonshot/Kimi, Zhipu/GLM, MiniMax or OpenRouter) or your ChatGPT subscription on any tier, so AI usage is billed by that provider with no platform budget cap. Keys are encrypted at rest.

Trading & bots

What bots can I run? In the app’s Bots hub you can follow Formion’s catalog bots and create paper bots from a catalog strategy; in @formiontradingbot you can set up DCA, Grid, Trailing, Alarm, indicator-signal and funding bots; and TradingView webhook bots turn your chart alerts into orders. Live bots need Pro (5) or Institutional (unlimited); the free tier runs unlimited paper bots. Native Formion copy-trading is coming soon; today you can use your exchange’s native copy trading. See Bots & Automation.

Can I automate my chart alerts? Yes — in Profile → Connections → TradingView Automation create a bot, copy its webhook URL and Open/Close messages into your alert, and it executes on your connected CEX/DEX. New bots start paused and live execution is being rolled out account by account; a linked Telegram is required. See Webhook Automation.

Can I build and backtest my own strategy? Yes — on every plan (Neural 3 backtests a day, Pro 50, Institutional unlimited): the no-code Builder in Strategy Lab with backtests on historical data, the AI Agent that turns a plain-language idea into a backtested strategy, and Strategy Finder, which scans a symbol and brute-forces entry/stop/R:R variants with a locked holdout. Published strategies are forward-tracked, and you can attach them to a demo or live account from the Marketplace.

How do I track performance? Formion’s tracked bots, signals and published strategies are consolidated in Trades History with win rate, profit factor, expectancy and equity curves; your own trades go in the Journal.

AI

What can the AI do? Rank trade ideas (AI Advisor), turn a chart screenshot or sentence into a plan (Trade Vision), write sourced research (Research RAG-LLM), and answer/act in chat (FORA). Important calls can be cross-checked across multiple models (Multi-AI Consensus). See AI Advisor and FORA.

Is the AI giving financial advice? No. AI output is analysis and education. You stay in control — nothing executes unless you set up a bot or confirm a trade.

Security

How are my keys protected? AES-256-GCM encryption at rest, TLS in transit, 2FA with backup codes, an optional trading password, session management and sign-in alerts. Use trade-only keys with withdrawals disabled. See Security.

FOM token

Is FOM live? FOM is Formion’s ERC-20 token on Base (Ethereum L2) with a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000, minted once. There is no presale, no private sale, no ICO and no launchpad; the launch is funded by the founder’s own funds. It launched on Uniswap (Base) on Wed 14 Oct 2026; the official contract address is 0xDF1202B33255Dd266bD5704e909Ce8a72BA1E4d1 (Base) — only trust the address from official Formion channels and verify it before you swap. You reach FORA Agent levels by holding FOM in a wallet you verify (hold values $500 / $2,000 / $10,000 / $50,000) or by locking it with FOM Lock (live in beta) ($250 / $1,000 / $5,000 / $25,000). Formion Wallet halves every threshold. FORA Agent includes a Pro licence and Agent Pro an Institutional licence. FOM Lock v3 is live in beta (contract 0xb3eBdba1188B11016B99C033055aFA7532259f69 on Base). Internal security review completed; no external audit has been performed yet. Credits, eligible add-ons and marketplace uses roll out in phases. See FOM token for launch, allocation, vesting and audit details.

What happens if I sell the FOM I hold? Access based on holding ends as soon as your balance falls below the threshold — Formion cannot stop a sale from a self-custody wallet. For Dossier Autopilot no new trades are opened, while open positions keep being managed to the end. If only the price falls, you get a warning and 48 hours to restore the value. Access returns automatically when the condition is met again. See FOM token.

What is Dossier Autopilot? Automatic live trading of the token calls from Formion’s Dossier research, on Solana and EVM chains. It is a separate product, unlocked by holding, locking or paying monthly in FOM (Starter, Pro or Unlimited; 50% of every FOM payment is burned). Dossier Autopilot uses a separate auto-trade wallet that you fund; its key is held by the Formion signer, and withdrawals go only to your verified wallet. Automated trading can lose money, including the whole balance of the auto-trade wallet. No result is promised, and past results do not predict future ones. Dossier Autopilot is an invite-only beta: during the beta it can manage at most $1,000 per user and $10,000 in total across all users, and it trades only after you explicitly confirm seven risk statements, including that the product is in an experimental phase (to the maximum extent permitted by law, Formion bears no liability for results or losses) and that you understand the autopilot plan. Dossier Autopilot is not available in the United States, the United Kingdom, the EU/EEA or sanctioned countries. Formion takes no share of your profit. See FOM token.

Who is the Core contributor? An external partner who works with Formion on growth — marketing, trader-focused campaigns and advisory. The 54,400,000 FOM line is compensation for that work, not a purchase: nothing was paid for these tokens, and there is no private sale.

Why isn’t the Core contributor part of the Team line? The Team line covers the people who build and run Formion day to day. The Core contributor is an external partner with a separate agreement, so the allocation is shown as its own line with its own public schedule rather than folded into Team.

Why does the Core contributor receive tokens before the team? Their work — marketing and bringing traders to Formion — starts at launch, so a small part of their allocation starts at launch too: 1% of the line (544,000 FOM, about 2,980 FOM a day) over the first 6 months. The other 99% unlocks linearly from month 6 to month 25. The team waits 12 months. Both schedules sit on public vesting contracts that nobody can speed up.

Sentiment & influencers

What is Formion Pulse? A market-narrative hub that reads X & YouTube influencers, social chatter, Fear & Greed and BTC bias into one Pulse Score (0–100). You can mute any source and the score recomputes from only the voices you keep. See Formion Pulse.

Strategies & earning

Can I sell a strategy I build? Yes. Build and prove it in the Strategy Lab, pass the publish gate, then list it on the Marketplace for free or — once your Partner (KYC) application is approved — as a paid listing. Subscribers pay Formion; you receive your share after a 25% platform fee and a 14-day hold, paid monthly in USDC/USDT. Review the listing’s forward record, subscription terms and checkout before subscribing or publishing.

Do I need to code to build a strategy? No. Use the no-code Builder, describe it to the AI Agent, or let Strategy Finder search for an edge from just a symbol. See Build & publish a strategy.

Support

How do I get help? Email [email protected], open a ticket at formion.ai/support or message @FormionSupportBot, or join our Telegram community t.me/formionai. Documentation lives at docs.formion.ai.

Can I talk to FORA by voice? Yes. Live two-way voice with FORA is available on every plan: Neural 3 sessions a day × 3 minutes and Pro 25 × 15 minutes on gpt-realtime-2.1-mini, Institutional 80 × 30 minutes on the full gpt-realtime-2.1. On every plan you can type to FORA, and in the chart chat you can turn on microphone dictation and read-aloud replies, which use your browser’s speech features. Command Center offers suggested commands, attachments and chat on the dashboard.

Where do I find news and trader ideas? Use News for economic and crypto events and headlines, and Swarm for trader posts, signals and contributor review. Funding Carry has a separate venue-spread research workflow.

Is Academy available? In app.formion.ai the Academy and Predictions (AI price projections) tabs are marked Soon. A few introductory lessons are already published at formion.ai/academy. Prediction-market tools (Polymarket browser, whale tracking, account connections) are live separately; see Prediction Markets.
