# What UpScalp Does and Does Not Automate

See what UpScalp does and does not automate across Lite, Premium, and approved Private Beta API access.

**Last reviewed:** 2026-09-04.

Lite and Premium provide signals and information for manual trading decisions. Private Beta may support specific exchange-connected actions for approved users.

Read this before relying on UpScalp to act on a signal for you.

## Lite and Premium give you signals, not trades

Lite and Premium give you signals and information. They do not place trades.

That means UpScalp can help you:

1. See structured setups.
2. Read entry, stop loss, and take-profit levels.
3. Check context before entry.
4. Decide whether to act, wait, or skip.

## Approval and automation availability are separate

Private Beta API access is available only to approved Premium Holders.

Approval confirms access to the beta path. It does not by itself confirm that automatic trade placement is active.

Available exchange-connected actions depend on your approved setup and current service availability. Before relying on automation, confirm your approval through the official Access Bot and confirm current availability through official status or support channels.

If you are not approved, treat API behavior as unavailable. Do not create exchange API keys before approval, and never enable withdrawal permissions for any exchange connection.

## How to treat API references

API references explain what is and is not available. They do not mean API access is open to every user.

| If you see this                 | Treat it this way                                                                                              |
| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Lite or Premium signal guidance | Manual decision. No automatic trade placement.                                                                 |
| Private Beta API wording        | Approved-user-only context. Confirm approval and current availability before relying on automatic behavior.    |
| API-key safety warning          | A protection rule, not an instruction to create a key.                                                         |
| Automation example or doctrine  | Educational context unless the action is included in your approved setup and confirmed as currently available. |

If a page or message makes API setup look open to everyone, stop and verify through the official Access Bot or support route before taking action.

## Reading a how-to is not the same as the product doing it

If a Help Center page explains a trading idea such as partial profit, breakeven, or skip rules, Lite and Premium still leave the trade decision and management to you. For Private Beta, treat an exchange-connected action as available only when it is included in your approved setup and current service availability has been confirmed.

## Available automation still has risk

Where an exchange-connected action is available through Private Beta, automation does not remove:

1. Market risk.
2. Execution risk.
3. Slippage and fees.
4. API setup risk.
5. The need to understand what the product is allowed to do.

Never treat automation as a guarantee.

## When in doubt, assume you do it yourself

If a Help Center page describes a trading action, Lite and Premium will not perform it for you. For Private Beta, rely only on actions included in your approved setup and confirmed as currently available.
