If you have any issues or for more details about how it works, feel reach to reach out to our Telegram community managers.

Once you deposit FOLO in Alpha Impact Wallet, refresh the page and you would be able to see your deposited FOLO in the “Total” and “Balance” segments.

*Please be mindful that the “Total” Balance included the Sum of Points as well. For the staking program, we accept FOLO tokens only.

After depositing on Alpha Impact, here are 4 steps on how to stake on a trader on Alpha Impact!

1. Go to the left side of the navigation bar and click the “Competition” page.

2. You will be able to see some traders who have already registered for the Alpha Impact Trading Competition. Click on the “Stake a Trader” button to select the trader you would like to stake

3. The minimum and maximum amount that you can stake on a trader is 750 FOLO to 15,000 FOLO (Est. min $2 – max $50 USD ). Choose the amount you would like to stake on your selected trader.

4. You should see a sliding pop-up in the top right corner that indicates that you have successfully staked on a trader.

For stakers, you will only be able to stake on a maximum of 3 traders so choose wisely.

It’s important to note that all FOLO tokens (the FOLO that you staked) that have been staked on the selected Trader will be locked until the competition starts to end. Hence, during the competition, staked FOLO cannot be unstaked until the end of the competition period.

This ensures that stakers remain committed throughout the competition and helps maintain the integrity of the event.

In Alpha Impact Trading Competition, stakers need to be aware of the profit and risk of losses as their profit and loss is depending on the trader’s trading performance during the competition period.

Here are 3 scenarios of what might happen to your staked FOLO tokens:

If the staked trader becomes one of the TOP 3 TRADERS and made a PROFIT during the competition period.

Stakers who have correctly staked on the top 3 traders will be able to share 40% of the competition prize pool. Additionally, if the selected staked trader manages to earn a profit of 50%, stakers who have staked on them will be able to earn 50% of the amount they staked on Trader A.

If the staked trader DID NOT become the top 3 traders but made a PROFIT during the competition period.

Stakers who have allocated their stakes to traders who achieve profitability, regardless of their ranking within the top 3, will have the opportunity to receive 90% of the generated profit (e.g., 50% profit) based on their stake amount associated with that particular trader.

If the staked trader DID NOT become the top 3 traders but made a LOSS during the competition period.

If stakers choose a trader to stake on, but the trader fails to rank among the top 3 traders and instead experiences, let’s say, a 50% loss during the competition, stakers will also face the same 50% loss on the amount they staked. It’s worth mentioning that in such cases, the trader won’t earn any fees from the stakers, and the Alpha Impact platform will not charge them any fees either.

This highlights the importance of carefully considering the potential risks and rewards associated with staking on traders. While staking can be a potentially lucrative opportunity, it’s important to remember that there are also potential risks involved, including the possibility of incurring losses. Therefore, it’s crucial to do thorough research on the traders you want to stake and make informed investment decisions.

And that’s it! We hope this comprehensive guide will help you to understand how Alpha Impact Staking work. If you have any questions or concerns, click here to talk to our team.

Subscriptions: What it is and what's on the Subscriptions Page?

What are “Subscriptions”?

The “Subscriptions” page helps you to see an overview summary of the traders you subscribe to and also the breakdown of each payment that you paid to your subscribed traders at regular intervals.

What is on the “Subscriptions” Page?

For users who have not subscribed to any traders, your subscription page will look like the following below and you will see that there is no subscription in place.

To begin your subscription journey, it’s recommended that you start by following some traders on the “Discover page” and subscribe only when you feel confident that the trader is consistently making well-informed trades and has a deep understanding of the cryptocurrency market. A good trader never rushes into trades without proper analysis and preparation.

For users who subscribe to a trader, you should be able to see the traders to who you are currently subscribed in the “Active Subscriptions” section.

As a subscriber, you can easily view the monthly fee for each of the monetized traders you follow on Alpha Impact. Additionally, Alpha Impact provides a conversion feature that allows you to view the monthly fee in either USD or an estimated value in FOLO.

You will also have visibility of the upcoming billing date.

What does each icon mean here?

Active — This means that the trader you are subscribed to is still actively trading

Expiring — This indicates that the subscription for the trader is expiring, which could be due to insufficient FOLO funds or the trader potentially demonetizing their profile.

Auto-copyable — If a trader has enabled the “Autocopy” feature on their profile, it means that you can automatically copy their portfolio as a subscriber.

Trader Announcement — The subscribed trader has just made an exclusive trader announcement on his profile. This is only exclusively for subscribers that are subscribed to this specific trader.

Trade Notifications/Signals — These trade notifications or alerts are provided by the traders you subscribed to. This indicates their current buying, selling, or holding activity for specific cryptocurrencies. The purpose of these trade notifications or signals is to assist subscribers in maximizing their profits and earnings together with their subscribed traders in this cryptocurrency market.

Mute/Unmute — You can use this bell icon to mute/unmute specific traders. By muting, you won’t be notified of new signals from the trader that you mute for the chosen time period. You will still be able to view the notifications/signals by navigating to the trader’s profile page.

What does “Expired Subscription” mean?

When a subscription has expired, it means that the period of time for which a subscriber has paid has come to an end, and they are no longer able to access the trader’s signals. In order to regain access to the signals, the subscriber must either renew their subscription or wait for the trader to re-monetize their profile.

You will be able to see the reason under “status”, if you have any issues or questions, feel free to contact us on Telegram.

Why do I need Alpha Impact Traders’ Notifications/Signals?

Crypto signals are trading recommendations that utilize market analysis and technical indicators to assist people in making informed decisions about purchasing or selling cryptocurrency.

These signals are used by subscribers to save time, benefit from the expertise of experienced traders like Alpha Impact Traders, and increase profitability by identifying opportunities to enter or exit trades at optimal times based on their trading expertise and track record. By following these signals, subscribers can benefit from the knowledge and experience of these traders to make more profitable trades.

How do I receive Alpha Impact Traders’ Signals?

To receive trade notifications or signals from the traders you follow or subscribe to, you can choose between connecting your Telegram or Email.

Click on your profile on the top right hand of the platform. Under “Account” click on “Settings”

You will be able to see there are 2 options for Alpha Impact Notification Preferences.

We recommended that you connect your Telegram account as you can choose to mute the notifications on the Alpha Impact platform or on Telegram if it’s too many notifications.

Please be mindful that the notifications might be overwhelming if the traders execute trades on a regular basis or use High-Frequency Trading (HFT) and trading bots to help them quickly enter and exit a crypto asset.

How do I mute some Alpha Impact Traders’ Notifications/Signals?

To mute the notification, you can go to Telegram and search for @AlphaImpact_bot and select “…” in the top right-hand corner and click “mute”.

OR you can go to the Alpha Impact Platform, click on the “Subscriptions” page, and click on the “bell” icon.

If you would still like to know the traders’ trading status, do not worry as you will still be able to receive notifications on the Alpha Impact platform’s top notifications bar.

How Do I Connect With Followers?

Using the Alpha Impact sharing feature such as Twitter to share your analysis, insights, and trade recommendations with your Twitter followers.

Followers can also share your insights on their own Twitter accounts, giving you more social exposure as a trader.

Create a consistent weekly update about your analysis and insights on the newsfeed; this will entice other followers to want to follow/subscribe to you as you build content and a reputation for yourself.

Why is Sharing Exclusive Insights Important?

For monetized traders, you can create private announcements just for your subscribers by monetizing your profile.

Money is moved by scarcity and inefficiency; the more of a resource there is, the less you can charge for it.

Subscribers want more exclusivity, so when you share your knowledge and experience in a private announcement, they will be more likely to buy. This can assist others in learning more about the market and making educated decisions.

How does Signals Monetization work?

For any other inquiries that you might have, you can head to our Help Center for more information or contact us via our Telegram channel.

Is Automated Trading Risky?

Automated trading, just like any other form of trading, demands careful thought and effective risk management. Although it can provide benefits such as eliminating emotions from the trading process and executing trades quickly, it is crucial to acknowledge the possible risks.

To mitigate these risks, subscribers should extensively test and optimize the trading strategies of traders prior to deploying them. This can be achieved by engaging with traders on the Alpha Impact platform and keeping a regular check on their trading performance. The traders on Alpha Impact are eager to communicate with subscribers and elaborate on the technical analysis supporting their trades and strategies. Monetized traders also use exclusive Trader Announcements to reach out to their subscribers

Moreover, diversifying your portfolio and starting with a small amount of funds can also contribute to reducing the risk involved.

By taking these precautions and staying abreast of market conditions, subscribers can make informed decisions and potentially reap the benefits of automated trading on the Alpha Impact platform.
