COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions about our trading guides and resources.

Do I need trading experience to use Telos trading guides?

No. Our guides are organized by difficulty level — Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. The Quick Start guide walks you through your first trade in 5 minutes with zero prior experience. Paper Trading lets you practice risk-free before committing real capital.

Which trading strategies work best with AI consensus?

Trend following and mean reversion strategies perform best with AI consensus voting. When 4 or more of Telos's 6 AI departments agree on a direction, the win rate jumps to 73%. Grid trading and DCA strategies also benefit from multi-department confirmation. Our Strategies page covers all 6 strategies with performance data.

How do I set up API keys securely for my exchange?

Our API Key Security guide covers key generation, rotation best practices, and permission scoping. Always use read-only or trade-only API keys — never enable withdrawal permissions. Telos encrypts all keys with AES-256 and never has access to your withdrawal credentials. See our Security page for full details.

What is the difference between paper trading and live trading?

Paper trading uses simulated capital to test AI signals and strategies without financial risk. All 6 AI departments analyze real market data, but no actual orders are placed. Live trading connects to your exchange via API keys and executes real trades with real capital. You can switch between modes at any time from your dashboard.

Can I use Telos with MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5?

Yes. Telos provides a free EA Bridge that connects your MT4/MT5 broker for forex, indices, commodities, and CFD trading. Follow our MT4/MT5 EA Bridge Installation guide for step-by-step setup. The bridge runs on your local machine and requires no coding — just drag the EA onto any chart.
