Question 1

Is Sentinel Aleph free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, during the open beta. Every account gets the Aleph tier, billing is off and no card is needed. Prices will change when the beta ends.

Question 2

Does it trade for me?

Accepted Answer

No. Sentinel publishes signals and places no orders. Aleph Edge, the desktop app, follows them with bots on your own machine that start on paper; a bot sends real orders only after you switch it to Live and type LIVE.

Question 3

Why do you show losses?

Accepted Answer

Every published signal stays in the ledger with its result: target, stop, break-even, expiry or BTC veto close. Rows are never deleted.

Question 4

What is the BTC veto?

Accepted Answer

When BTC's trend turns and holds for 60 minutes, or BTC moves 2% or more in an hour, open signals against BTC are closed. Veto closes are kept out of the win rate. The headline net includes them, because a follower takes those exits, and the figure without them is shown beside it.

Question 5

I have a small account. How should I follow?

Accepted Answer

Size each trade so a stop costs about 1% of the account; the sizer on every open signal does the arithmetic with fees. Follow a few signals at a time, keep leverage off, and pay Binance spot fees in BNB (0.075% instead of 0.100% per side). Below roughly 1,000 USDT a win is worth cents to a few dollars, so treat it as practice.

Question 6

Is this financial advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Sentinel Aleph is market intelligence in research mode, and no edge after costs is established. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell.

Question 7

How do AI agents connect?

Accepted Answer

Over MCP at https://ribqa.com/api/v1/mcp (Streamable HTTP). The public read tools work without a key; your bots, your strategies and backtests need an API key from the account page. There are 12 read-only tools, including your stored backtest runs, three tools that create, update or archive your own saved strategies, and one rate-limited backtest tool; none can place an order.

Question 8

Can I run Pine Script here?

Accepted Answer

A subset of Pine Script v5/v6 indicators runs in your browser on the Pine page, on BTCUSDT candles and without an account. Anything outside the subset stops with an error that names it.

Question 9

Where does the data come from?

Accepted Answer

Prices and settlement: Binance spot and futures candles. News: CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, the Federal Reserve, the SEC and the BLS, used in no signal. The BTC chart read: a fixed rule and a language model, information only.
