# What UpScalp Does and Does Not Automate

**Last reviewed:** 2026-05-22.

UpScalp automates different things in Lite, Premium, and approved Private Beta. Read this before assuming the system will 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.

## Private Beta API works only after approval

Private Beta API access is for approved Premium Holders only.

It may support exchange-connected actions only where your approved beta setup specifically supports them. Do not assume API behavior from Lite, Premium, or educational pages.

If API access has not been approved for you, 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. Wait for explicit approval.                                          |
| API-key safety warning          | A protection rule, not an instruction to create a key.                                           |
| Automation example or doctrine  | Educational context unless the page says it is current approved product behavior for your setup. |

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 like partial profit, breakeven, or skip rules, that does not mean UpScalp does it for you. You still place and manage the trade yourself unless your approved Private Beta setup specifically says otherwise.

## Approved automation still has risk

Even when an approved beta setup automates an exchange action, 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, assume Lite and Premium will not perform it for you. UpScalp acts on your behalf only where your approved Private Beta setup specifically says so.
