FAQ — Before You Buy
This FAQ answers common questions before purchasing or onboarding Aurono.
If you are already using Aurono, see FAQ — Using Aurono.
What is Aurono?
Section titled “What is Aurono?”Aurono is execution-only automation software that enforces rule-based crypto strategies you define.
Aurono does not predict markets, generate signals, or make discretionary decisions.
Can I run Aurono on my own hardware?
Section titled “Can I run Aurono on my own hardware?”Yes. Aurono is sold two ways:
- Aurono device — a small, pre-installed box you plug in at home. Power it on, follow the setup wizard, and you’re done. No technical setup required.
- Aurono software — install it yourself on a Raspberry Pi, Mac Mini, or any machine that can run Docker. You handle the hardware; Aurono handles the trading.
Both options run the same software, get the same updates, and give you the same dashboard. Pick the device if you want zero setup hassle. Pick the software if you already have a machine that’s always on and you’d rather not buy more hardware.
Is Aurono a trading bot?
Section titled “Is Aurono a trading bot?”No. Aurono is a rule-based execution assistant.
You define the rules — Aurono follows them. It does not react to indicators, signals, or live price movement. It evaluates rules only at candle close and executes them deterministically.
Does Aurono guarantee profits?
Section titled “Does Aurono guarantee profits?”No.
Aurono executes rules exactly as configured. Results depend on market behavior and your strategy design.
Does Aurono hold my funds?
Section titled “Does Aurono hold my funds?”No.
Your funds always remain on your own exchange account. Aurono never has custody of funds.
Can Aurono withdraw money from my exchange?
Section titled “Can Aurono withdraw money from my exchange?”No.
Aurono requires API keys without withdrawal permissions. Withdrawals are technically impossible.
Does Aurono use stop losses?
Section titled “Does Aurono use stop losses?”No, by design.

Which exchanges are supported?
Section titled “Which exchanges are supported?”Aurono supports three exchanges:
- Bitvavo — popular with Dutch users, lowest fees, iDEAL deposits
- Kraken — established European exchange
- Coinbase — widely available internationally
See: Exchange Comparison
Which exchange do you recommend?
Section titled “Which exchange do you recommend?”For Dutch users, Bitvavo is the easiest starting point — it has the lowest trading fees and supports iDEAL for deposits. All three supported exchanges work equally well with Aurono.

Is Aurono cloud-based?
Section titled “Is Aurono cloud-based?”No. There is no cloud component at all.
Aurono runs locally on a Raspberry Pi or in a Docker container on your own hardware. The dashboard is accessible only from your local network. There is no central Aurono account, no cloud dashboard, and no data leaves your device.
How many strategies can I run?
Section titled “How many strategies can I run?”There is no hard limit. Typical users run 5–15 strategies across different assets and timeframes. The only constraint is available capital and the exchange’s rate limits.
Is Aurono suitable for day trading?
Section titled “Is Aurono suitable for day trading?”No.
Aurono is designed for rule-based accumulation and long-term consistency, not high-frequency or momentum trading.
Do I need trading experience?
Section titled “Do I need trading experience?”Basic understanding helps, but Aurono is intentionally explicit and rule-based.
You define the rules. Aurono enforces them.
Why does Aurono sound “boring”?
