Question 1

What is AIOKA?

Accepted Answer

AIOKA publishes an AI verdict on Bitcoin every 4 hours. Instead of a single algorithm, a council of nine specialist AI analysts reviews 80+ live market signals — on-chain flows, macro data, options, liquidity and price structure — and votes. A Chief Judge combines the votes into one ruling (for example ACCUMULATE, HOLD or REDUCE) with a confidence score. The verdict and each analyst's vote are public on aioka.io and via the REST API.

Question 2

How is AIOKA different from other crypto signal services?

Accepted Answer

Three things. First, multi-agent deliberation: nine analysts look at Bitcoin from different angles independently, so no single model decides. Second, transparency: every verdict shows the individual votes, confidence and consensus strength, so you can see why. Third, a public record: the Ghost Trader acts on the verdicts by strict rules and publishes every trade — wins and losses, shown before exchange fees. It currently trades with practice money.

Question 3

Which markets does AIOKA cover?

Accepted Answer

Bitcoin only, for now. Councils for Ethereum, Solana, Bittensor (TAO), Cardano, Gold and EUR/USD were built and ran in paper mode; they are paused while we focus on proving the Bitcoin system. Their paper history is kept.

Question 4

Who is AIOKA for?

Accepted Answer

Traders who want a disciplined second opinion before acting, developers who want Bitcoin market intelligence via API, and anyone who prefers transparent, verifiable signals over black-box tips.

Question 5

Is AIOKA a trading bot?

Accepted Answer

Not exactly. AIOKA is an analysis layer — it judges the market and publishes verdicts. The Ghost Trader is AIOKA's own rules-based trader that acts on those verdicts; it currently trades in practice (paper) mode. You can feed AIOKA's API into any trading tool you already use.

Question 6

Who built AIOKA?

Accepted Answer

AIOKA is an independent project founded by a software engineer with more than 20 years of experience, based in the Czech Republic. The backend runs on Railway, the website on Vercel and the database on Neon PostgreSQL; the AI council uses Anthropic's Claude models. The API is at api.aioka.io and the docs at docs.aioka.io.

Question 7

How many AI analysts are in the Bitcoin council?

Accepted Answer

Nine specialists plus a Chief Judge: Chain Oracle (on-chain analytics), Macro Sage (macroeconomics), Sentiment Monk (market psychology), Tech Hawk (technical analysis), Momentum Rider (liquidity and capital flows), Risk Shield (risk assessment), Cycle Analyst (long-cycle timing such as Pi Cycle, MVRV and halving), Institutional Flow (funds and large holders) and Macro Correlations (cross-asset volatility, with a VIX-extreme safety veto). An independent Trade Warden audits every trade.

Question 8

How often does the council convene?

Accepted Answer

Every 4 hours (it was every hour until October 2026; an October 2026 review found the verdicts do not predict price moves, so we cut the cost). Each session takes about a minute — the analysts deliberate in parallel. Between sessions the latest verdict stays in force. If a session is missed, a watchdog triggers a refresh.

Question 9

What are the possible verdicts?

Accepted Answer

STRONG BUY, BUY, ACCUMULATE (lean towards buying slowly), HOLD (no clear edge), REDUCE (lean towards taking risk off), SELL and AVOID-type rulings. Each verdict comes with a confidence score and a consensus strength (strong, moderate, weak or split).

Question 10

What happens when the AI council is unavailable?

Accepted Answer

AIOKA falls back to the Judiciary Engine — a rule-based system that produces a verdict from the raw signals without AI deliberation. These verdicts are labelled (council_mode = "judiciary") and carry lower confidence. The Ghost Trader does not enter new trades on a judiciary-only verdict. The council resumes automatically when it is available again.

Question 11

Can I see individual analyst votes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every verdict on aioka.io shows how each analyst voted and how sure it was. Via the API, the agents array carries each vote and confidence.

Question 12

What signals does the council analyze?

Accepted Answer

80+ live signals across on-chain data (for example MVRV Z-Score, SOPR, NUPL, exchange and whale flows, miner stress), momentum (price, funding rate), macro (DXY, US 10-year yield, gold, equities), liquidity (stablecoin flows, Bitcoin dominance, fear & greed) and options (put/call ratio, implied volatility, open interest). Each signal has a freshness limit; stale data is rejected.

Question 13

What is the Ghost Trader?

Accepted Answer

AIOKA's rules-based Bitcoin trader. It acts on the council's verdicts only when all seven safety checks pass, and publishes every trade — timestamped, priced from exchange data, wins and losses alike. It currently trades in practice (paper) mode. The full history is at aioka.io/track-record.

Question 14

What must be true before the Ghost Trader enters a trade?

Accepted Answer

Seven checks at once: (1) the Judiciary Engine leans bullish, (2) the council's verdict is bullish with confidence at or above the entry floor, (3) the price is between +0.2% and +2.0% above its 200-period average, (4) the market regime is favourable, (5) the signal-quality score clears its bar, (6) momentum is not falling, and (7) it is an active trading session. If one fails, it waits.

Question 15

Does the Ghost Trader use real money?

Accepted Answer

No. The Ghost Trader's published record is practice money (paper mode). Since 23 Oct 2026 a separate daily trend rule trades up to $50 of real money on Kraken: it holds Bitcoin while the daily close is above its 100-day average and sells when it falls below. That small test is not part of the record. From 8 to 20 Oct 2026 the real-money test was a small real order alongside each practice trade. Larger real money only follows results that show an edge after fees.

Question 16

What is a "validated" trade?

Accepted Answer

A trade that is fully closed, opened under the current production rules, with entry and exit verified against exchange data. Results are shown before exchange fees. Trades from earlier engine versions are excluded so the record reflects the system as it runs today.

Question 17

How can I verify the track record?

Accepted Answer

The record is public on aioka.io/track-record and via the API (GET /v1/ghost/stats). Every trade links to the council verdict and timestamp that triggered it.

Question 18

How do I get an API key?

Accepted Answer

Use the "Get a free key" link (docs.aioka.io/api-reference/keys/generate). A free key is generated instantly — no credit card. Free keys allow 100 calls per day.

Question 19

What does the free tier include?

Accepted Answer

100 API calls per day (10 per minute), the latest verdict (GET /v1/verdict/latest) and the market regime indicator.

Question 20

What programming languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

Any language that can make HTTPS requests — it is a standard JSON REST API. The docs at docs.aioka.io include Python, JavaScript and curl examples.

Question 21

What is the council_mode field?

Accepted Answer

It tells you whether a verdict came from the full AI council ("council") or the rule-based fallback ("judiciary"). Check it before acting on a verdict — judiciary verdicts are less reliable and the Ghost Trader does not trade on them.

Question 22

How fresh is the data?

Accepted Answer

The council meets every 4 hours on live signal data. API responses are cached briefly (seconds to a few minutes depending on the endpoint); the cached field tells you whether a response came from cache. Track-record stats update within minutes of a trade closing.

Question 23

Can I buy Basic or Pro?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. Paid plans are paused until the practice record proves an edge after fees. The free plan is open now.

Question 24

What will Basic and Pro include?

Accepted Answer

Basic ($49/month): 1,000 calls per day, the full signal breakdown, verdict history and alerts. Pro ($199/month): 10,000 calls per day, analyst-level detail, Ghost Trader signals and the MetaTrader 5 connection. Details may change before the plans open.

Question 25

What happens if I exceed my rate limit?

Accepted Answer

The API returns HTTP 429. Daily limits reset at midnight UTC; rate-limit headers in every response show your remaining calls.

Question 26

I need more than the free tier today — what can I do?

Accepted Answer

Contact us via the contact page to discuss your use case.

Question 27

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Look at today's verdict on aioka.io — no account needed. If you want the data in your own tools, get a free API key and call GET /v1/verdict/latest with your key in the X-API-Key header. The full reference is at docs.aioka.io.

Question 28

Do I need coding experience?

Accepted Answer

Not to use the website — the verdict, the analyst votes, the safety checks and the track record are all on aioka.io. The API is for developers.

Question 29

Is my API key secure?

Accepted Answer

Keys are stored only as hashes — never in plain text. Keep your key private and never put it in client-side code or public repositories. If it leaks, contact us to rotate it.

Question 30

Is this financial advice?

Accepted Answer

No. AIOKA shares automated analysis for information only. Practice results can differ from real trading, and Bitcoin can lose its value.
