Definitely No.

SmartTrade is fundamentally different from typical retail trading bots, copy-trading services or simplified broker automation tools often found online.

The system was designed as a structured technology and trading infrastructure project focused on professional market analysis, dynamic risk evaluation and controlled automated execution — not as a “set-and-forget” mass-market bot.

SmartTrade does not promise guaranteed profits, unrealistic returns or “risk-free” trading. Financial markets always involve risk, volatility and uncertainty.

Unlike many publicly advertised trading products, SmartTrade focuses on:

• structured market evaluation
• controlled position management
• risk-aware execution
• monitored automation
• professional infrastructure separation
• live market condition analysis

The public dashboard intentionally displays only anonymized and limited activity information. Proprietary analytical structures, trading logic and execution models remain protected and are not publicly disclosed.

SmartTrade is designed for users who value structure, transparency, disciplined risk management and technology-driven trading operations rather than unrealistic marketing promises.

No.

SmartTrade is not a brokerage, investment fund, asset manager or custodial financial institution. SmartTrade does not hold, custody or directly manage client capital.

SmartTrade is a structured algorithmic trading technology and automation environment designed for users who wish to operate their own connected brokerage accounts under their own control and responsibility.

Access to the SmartTrade environment may be granted on a private license basis following a structured request, onboarding and approval process. All trading activity remains connected to the user’s own brokerage infrastructure and account environment.

Yes.

One of the most unique and groundbreaking aspects of SmartTrade is that live market analysis and operational activity can be observed directly on the public SmartTrade live dashboard during active NASDAQ trading sessions - directly at the homepage.

Unlike conventional trading technology providers, SmartTrade publicly demonstrates — IN REAL TIME — how structured AI-supported market observation, scanning and operational analysis are performed under live market conditions.

This creates an exceptionally transparent and highly distinctive live presentation environment rarely seen within the financial technology sector and allows visitors to observe how SmartTrade continuously evaluates live market behavior during official trading hours.

For operational security reasons, tradable symbols, broker information, position sizes, account details and proprietary strategy parameters are never disclosed publicly.

SmartTrade is operated under the structure of DreamDraws Group Ltd., London, United Kingdom.

Company Number 16965568.

SmartTrade was initiated and designed by its founder and director, Mr. Mario Eduard Giovanelli as part of a broader fintech and technology-driven trading infrastructure project.

SmartTrade primarily focuses on highly liquid US equities and momentum-driven market segments, with a particular emphasis on NASDAQ market activity.

SmartTrade is not a mass-market retail application or a generic trading bot subscription. Each SmartTrade environment is individually structured, configured and deployed based on the client’s intended trading profile, infrastructure requirements and operational objectives.

The system is installed on a dedicated high-performance server environment with low-latency broker connectivity and is professionally prepared, configured, secured and tested before release for live operation.

The implementation process typically includes, among other things:

• infrastructure planning and deployment

• dedicated server provisioning and optimization

• operating system and security hardening

• broker API and connectivity integration

• SmartTrade runtime installation and configuration

• trading environment calibration

• risk and session parameter configuration

• dashboard and monitoring setup

• logging and persistence configuration

• performance and stability validation

• paper trading simulation and operational testing

• final system verification and deployment review

SmartTrade is designed as a highly exclusive AI-supported trading technology environment of the type typically associated only with highly advanced institutional infrastructures, proprietary trading environments or large financial organizations.

For private traders, the standard setup currently includes:

• Individual SmartTrade environment creation and deployment:
  USD/EUR 4,900 (one-time)

• Dedicated high-performance server infrastructure:
  USD/EUR 140 monthly

• SmartTrade software license and operational runtime:
  USD/EUR 590 monthly

The ongoing monthly operational cost therefore totals:

USD/EUR 730 per month

Additional custom infrastructure, integrations or enterprise-level requirements may require individual evaluation.

SmartTrade is designed as a highly structured AI-supported trading technology environment intended to operate dynamically under live market conditions.

While no financial performance guarantees can ever be provided, the operational objective of SmartTrade is to significantly exceed the underlying infrastructure and licensing costs over time through disciplined structured trading activity.

Even relatively smaller operational trading environments beginning with approximately:

USD/EUR 5,000

in broker account capital can already benefit from the system’s dynamic allocation structure.

SmartTrade is designed to continuously adapt its operational position sizing based on the currently available brokerage account capital. Under the standard allocation structure, approximately:

20% of the currently available account capital may be allocated per structured position.

As account equity grows, the operational trade allocation size grows dynamically as well. This means that position sizes may progressively increase over time without requiring manual structural adjustments to the trading environment.

Depending on market conditions, volatility environments, liquidity conditions and operational strategy behavior, even cautiously estimated performance targets in the range of approximately:

5% to 10% per trading day may already significantly exceed the monthly infrastructure and licensing costs over time.

SmartTrade was not designed as a passive consumer application, but as an exclusive operational trading technology environment inspired by the type of structured systems typically associated with advanced institutional trading infrastructures and professional proprietary trading operations.

Naturally, all trading activity involves market risk, and performance can vary depending on market conditions, capital allocation, risk controls and operational behavior.

Under certain conditions, existing approved SmartTrade participants may gain access to additional strategic participation or recommendation opportunities connected to the SmartTrade environment.

These opportunities are not publicly promoted and are generally only discussed after the successful completion of onboarding, infrastructure deployment and operational activation of an individual SmartTrade environment.

The objective is to maintain the exclusive and structured nature of the SmartTrade ecosystem while potentially creating additional long-term value opportunities for established participants.

The deployment of a fully prepared SmartTrade environment is a structured multi-stage process and is not comparable to the activation of a conventional retail trading application or standard broker-side automation setting.

SmartTrade environments are individually designed, configured, calibrated and tested for each approved client environment. Depending on infrastructure requirements, broker connectivity, testing scope and onboarding complexity, the complete process from initial request through approval, deployment, validation and operational handover generally requires approximately:

4 to 6 weeks

Typical implementation stages include:

• Initial request review, strategic suitability assessment and operational evaluation
  (approximately 3–5 business days)

• Structured onboarding, technical planning and infrastructure coordination
  (approximately 3–5 business days)

• Provisioning and optimization of dedicated high-performance server infrastructure
  (approximately 4–7 business days)

• Broker API integration, low-latency connectivity setup and trading environment calibration
  (approximately 5–8 business days)

• Security hardening, monitoring systems, persistence configuration and operational protection setup
  (approximately 3–6 business days)

• AI-supported runtime validation, paper trading simulations, strategy observation and stability testing under live market conditions
  (approximately 7–14 business days)

• Final verification, operational review, deployment approval and handover preparation
  (approximately 2–5 business days)

The overall implementation duration may vary depending on infrastructure complexity, broker-side response times, requested customizations and operational testing requirements.

Access requests can be submitted through the official SmartTrade onboarding and access request process available on the website.

No. Access may be limited and subject to onboarding, verification procedures and internal approval processes.

SmartTrade currently focuses primarily on Interactive Brokers (IBKR) integration for structured trading operations due to its professional infrastructure, API stability and global market accessibility.

However, SmartTrade is not limited exclusively to IBKR. Additional predefined broker integrations may be supported depending on operational requirements and infrastructure compatibility.

Furthermore, individually requested broker connections may also be evaluated, provided that the respective brokerage environment offers stable and sufficiently documented API connectivity suitable for structured algorithmic trading operations.

The availability of custom broker integrations may depend on technical feasibility, infrastructure quality, API stability, latency requirements and operational security considerations.

Why Does SmartTrade Recommend IBKR?

SmartTrade has primarily been developed and tested for integration with Interactive Brokers.

Important advantages include:

• Highly stable trading infrastructure
• Professional API connectivity
• Access to over 170 markets worldwide
• Advanced risk management systems
• Fast order execution
• Institutional-grade technology
• Competitive fees and commissions
• Strong international regulatory framework

These characteristics make IBKR particularly suitable for automated trading systems such as SmartTrade.

Do I Need My Own IBKR Account?

Not necessarily.

During the Request Access process, you may select from supported brokers or indicate a preferred broker that you would like SmartTrade to support.

However, any broker used with SmartTrade must meet certain technical and operational requirements, including:

• A reliable and officially supported trading API
• Stable and secure connectivity
• Automated order execution capabilities
• Real-time or near real-time market data access
• Support for algorithmic trading
• Support for paper trading and testing environments
• Consistent account and position reporting
• Sufficient regulatory authorization and reputation
• Operational stability and long-term availability

Depending on the broker, additional technical evaluations and integration work may be required before compatibility can be confirmed.

Why Does SmartTrade Primarily Recommend Interactive Brokers?

Although SmartTrade is designed with future broker flexibility in mind, Interactive Brokers (IBKR) is currently the broker most extensively integrated, tested, and used within the SmartTrade ecosystem.

We recommend IBKR because of its:

• Proven stability and reliability
• Professional API infrastructure
• Global market access
• Strong financial position
• Long operating history
• Competitive pricing structure
• Advanced paper trading environment
• Broad support for automated trading systems

For these reasons, Interactive Brokers currently represents the preferred and most thoroughly validated broker environment for SmartTrade users.

Is My Capital Held by SmartTrade?

No.

Your capital remains at your broker, e.g. Interactive Brokers.

SmartTrade only provides automation technology and trade execution logic based on user settings and system parameters.

SmartTrade never becomes custodian of your funds.

How Safe Is Interactive Brokers?

No financial institution can provide a 100% guarantee against every conceivable risk.

However, Interactive Brokers is generally considered one of the most financially stable and well-capitalized online brokers worldwide.

Factors supporting this assessment include:

• Decades of operating history
• Publicly listed company
• Strong regulatory oversight
• Investment-grade credit rating
• Large capital reserves
• Automated risk controls
• Significant excess regulatory capital
• Hundreds of billions of dollars in client assets

Under normal market conditions, the probability of an insolvency event is generally regarded as very low.

What Happens If IBKR Were to Become Insolvent?

Client assets are generally held separately from the company's own operating capital in accordance with applicable regulations.

Depending on the jurisdiction and account structure, additional investor protection and insurance mechanisms may also apply.

The exact protection available depends on the legal entity and country through which the account is maintained.

Users should review the current regulatory and protection information provided directly by Interactive Brokers.

Can I Withdraw My Money Whenever I Want?

In general, yes.

Clients may request withdrawals from their Interactive Brokers account at any time, subject to:

• Available account balance
• Settlement periods
• Banking regulations
• Compliance requirements
• Security verification procedures

Withdrawal methods and processing times depend on the country, bank, and account configuration.

Certain operational or regulatory limits may apply depending on the withdrawal method used.

How Do Withdrawals Work?

Funds can generally be transferred from Interactive Brokers to a verified bank account registered in the client's name.

Withdrawal requests are usually submitted through the IBKR account management system.

Processing times vary depending on banking channels and jurisdiction.

Can I Close My IBKR Account At Any Time?

Yes.

Clients can generally close their Interactive Brokers account whenever they choose, provided that:

• Open positions are closed or transferred
• Outstanding obligations are settled
• Verification requirements are completed

Account closure procedures are handled directly through Interactive Brokers.

Is an IBKR Account Mandatory for SmartTrade?

At present, SmartTrade has been designed and optimized primarily for Interactive Brokers.

For this reason, an IBKR account is currently required for full SmartTrade functionality.

Additional broker integrations may be added in the future. However, Interactive Brokers currently remains the primary broker infrastructure used by SmartTrade.

Disclaimer: Broker services are provided exclusively by Interactive Brokers and its affiliated entities. SmartTrade is not a broker, bank, financial institution, custodian, or deposit-taking entity. Users should independently review all broker agreements, regulatory disclosures, fees, risks, and investor protection information provided by Interactive Brokers before opening an account.

No advanced technical knowledge is required. However, users should understand the general risks associated with financial markets and active trading.

Definitely No!

SmartTrade does not provide personalized financial, investment or legal advice.

Yes. Structured onboarding and verification procedures are part of the SmartTrade access process.

Yes. Official SmartTrade user guides and documentations are available through the website "FAQ's & Guidelines" section in the main menu..

No, a separate email address is not strictly required.

However, for security, organization, and long-term account management reasons, we strongly recommend using a dedicated email address exclusively for SmartTrade.

Using a separate email account helps keep trading-related communication, security notifications, broker correspondence, API information, and account documentation separate from your personal or business email traffic. This significantly reduces the risk of overlooked messages and improves overall account security.

For clients who prefer a fully dedicated setup, SmartTrade can provide a Microsoft 365 email account under the @smarttrade.center domain for an additional monthly fee of approximately USD/EUR 10 per month.

To configure and deploy SmartTrade properly, several pieces of information are required during the onboarding process.

Depending on your broker and selected service package, we may require:

• Full name and contact information
• Preferred email address
• Country of residence
• Broker name and account type
• Broker account number
• API access credentials and API permissions
• Paper Trading account access
• Relevant trading preferences and risk parameters

We strongly recommend opening a dedicated broker account specifically for SmartTrade whenever possible. This simplifies setup, testing, administration, and future support.

Before SmartTrade is activated on any live account, extensive testing is normally performed within the broker's Paper Trading environment, even if the client intends to trade live immediately after deployment.

Certain broker credentials may temporarily be required during setup and testing. Clients remain free to change passwords and access credentials after onboarding has been completed.

All information provided during onboarding is treated as strictly confidential and is never disclosed to third parties except where required by law or explicitly authorized by the client.

Following activation and deployment, clients receive all relevant account information required for the operation and management of their SmartTrade environment.

Depending on the selected configuration, this may include:

• SmartTrade user credentials
• SmartTrade dashboard access
• Broker connection information
• API configuration details
• Server access information (where applicable)
• Security and authentication credentials
• Notification and alert settings
• Administrative access information
• Documentation and onboarding materials

As SmartTrade may involve multiple integrated systems, clients can expect to receive several different sets of login credentials and access information. We therefore strongly recommend maintaining a secure password management system for long-term administration and security.

For security reasons, SmartTrade strongly recommends and, where applicable, may require the use of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for critical systems and administrative access.

Depending on the selected configuration, 2FA may be activated for SmartTrade user accounts, administrative interfaces, broker integrations, server access, email accounts, and other connected services.

Clients are encouraged to maintain access to their registered authentication devices and backup recovery methods at all times, as these are essential components of modern account security and operational protection.
