Bitcoin and crypto risk controls: position cap, cash reserve, and pause
Last updated 2026-10-05
The controls you set, and how our AI manages risk.
Strong risk management built in
Our AI trader minimizes losses with strong, disciplined risk management. The controls you can set are a cap on one position, a cash reserve that stays uninvested, and a pause on automated trading.
Those are the controls. SCI Trader does not describe a stop-loss or a drawdown limit.
Position cap
The position cap is the maximum share of the account that one position uses. It keeps a single trade from using the whole account. It is not a stop-loss.
You choose the cap inside the allowed range when you set your instructions. The AI trades inside that limit.
Cash reserve
The cash reserve is a share of the account that stays uninvested. It keeps the whole balance from sitting in the market at once. It is an instruction on the account.
You fund your account with SCI Trader. The reserve is an instruction on that account, not a coin sitting in a personal wallet.
Pause and withdrawals
You can pause automated trading. Pausing does not sell what is already held and does not cancel an order that was already submitted. It stops new automated trading until you turn it back on.
You can request a withdrawal at any time. Open trades settle as part of the request. You can ask for profits, a partial amount, or the remaining account value. You keep 90% of every new profit, and we only earn when you do.
