General Questions About Stratium
What is Stratium?
Stratium is an automated Solana copy trading bot that operates via Telegram. Stratium monitors curated profitable Solana wallets and replicates their trades into your personal wallet with sub-second execution. The platform is fully non-custodial — your private keys and funds remain under your control at all times. See What is Solana Copy Trading? for a full explanation.
How is Stratium different from other trading bots?
| Feature | Stratium | BonkBot | Trojan | Axiom | GMGN |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fee per trade | 0.1% | 1% | 1% | 1% | 1% |
| Non-custodial | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Copy trading | Yes (curated) | No | Yes (manual) | No | Yes |
| On-chain verified P&L | Yes | No | No | No | No |
| Strategy vetting | 5-step on-chain | N/A | Manual | N/A | Algorithmic |
Stratium's 0.1% fee is 10× lower than the industry standard 1%. At 100 SOL traded monthly, that saves approximately 0.9 SOL (~$130 at $145/SOL).
Do I need trading experience?
No. Stratium is designed for everyone from beginners to experienced traders. You do not need to analyze charts, time entries, or manage positions manually. The bot handles everything automatically — you choose your risk level and the system does the rest.
Which blockchains does Stratium support?
Stratium is exclusively built for Solana. Solana was chosen for its sub-second finality (~400ms block times), extremely low transaction fees (<$0.001 per trade), and transparent on-chain activity that makes verified copy trading possible. See the Solana documentation for technical details on the network.
How Do I Get Started?
How do I sign up?
Open Telegram, search for @stratiumsol_bot, and press Start. No email, no KYC, no credit card required. Your Solana wallet is created automatically in seconds.
How long does setup take?
About 30 seconds. Press Start in the bot, and it creates your wallet and assigns you to strategies immediately. You can start depositing right away.
What is the minimum deposit?
There is no enforced minimum deposit. In practice, keep at least 0.1 SOL — this ensures you have enough to cover initial trades and transaction fees without the balance running dry quickly.
How do I deposit SOL?
Tap Deposit in the bot menu, copy your wallet address, and send SOL from any Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Coinbase, Binance, etc.). Deposits are detected automatically in real time via WebSocket monitoring — no need to notify the bot. Your new balance is typically reflected within seconds.
How Does Trading Work?
How quickly are trades executed?
Trades execute in under 1 second from the time the target wallet's transaction is detected on-chain. This includes: WebSocket detection (<200ms) → analysis → Jupiter quote → Jito bundle submission → on-chain confirmation. Execution delay is shown in the bot notification for every trade.
Can I choose which wallets to copy?
Your assigned target wallets are curated by Stratium's team through a 5-step on-chain verification process. You are assigned to strategies matching your tier and balance. Premium tiers include access to higher-performing strategy pools.
What happens if a target wallet makes a bad trade?
The copy trade executes regardless — the bot copies both winning and losing trades. This is why target wallet vetting is critical. Over time, well-selected targets with a 59%+ win rate produce positive net returns despite individual losing trades. See Trading Strategies for the full vetting process.
Can I pause trading?
Yes. Go to Settings → Trading Preferences in the bot menu and tap Pause Trading. While paused, no new trades execute, but your existing token positions remain open in your wallet. Tap Resume Trading to restart at any time.
What if I do not have enough SOL for a trade?
The trade is skipped and logged. The copy trading engine always checks your balance before executing. If you do not have enough SOL — after accounting for the minimum 0.01 SOL reserve and transaction fees — the trade is recorded as skipped with the specific reason.
Is Stratium Secure?
Is Stratium safe to use?
Yes. Stratium uses a non-custodial model — your private key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM (NIST FIPS 197) and Stratium is architecturally unable to withdraw your funds. Every trade is a transparent, verifiable on-chain Solana transaction. Read the full Security documentation for details on encryption, wallet isolation, and infrastructure security.
Can Stratium steal my funds?
No. The platform can only execute swap transactions (buy/sell tokens) in your wallet. Withdrawal transfers can only be initiated by you through the Telegram bot or web dashboard, and funds are sent only to an address you specify. The copy trading engine has no code paths for constructing withdrawal transactions.
What happens if Stratium shuts down?
Your wallet is a standard Solana keypair on the blockchain. Your funds and tokens remain in your wallet regardless of Stratium's operational status. You can export your private key and import it into Phantom, Solflare, or any Solana wallet application at any time.
Should I enable 2FA on Telegram?
Absolutely. Your Telegram account is linked to your Stratium wallet. Enabling two-factor authentication on Telegram adds an important extra layer of protection against unauthorized access. See Telegram's official 2FA guide for setup instructions.
What Are Stratium's Fees?
What does Stratium cost?
- Commission: 0.1% fee on each trade executed in your wallet
- No subscription: Free to use; you only pay when trades execute
- Network fees: Standard Solana transaction fees (~$0.001 per trade)
- Withdrawal fees: None — Stratium does not charge for withdrawals (only standard Solana network fees apply, typically <$0.001)
How does Stratium compare to other bots on fees?
At 0.1%, Stratium charges 10× less than the 1% industry standard (Axiom, Trojan, BonkBot, Photon). On 100 SOL traded in a month, that difference is 0.9 SOL saved — approximately $130 at $145/SOL.
How do I withdraw?
Tap Withdraw in the bot menu, enter your destination Solana address, and confirm. If you hold open token positions, they are sold to SOL first. Withdrawals typically complete in 10–30 seconds. There are no lock-up periods, no withdrawal limits, and no waiting periods.
What Performance Can I Expect?
What win rates do strategies achieve?
Win rates by strategy tier based on verified on-chain data from the February 2026 performance report:
| Strategy | Expected Win Rate | Risk Level |
|---|---|---|
| Conservative | 65–75% | Low |
| Medium | 55–65% | Moderate |
| Aggressive | 45–55% | High (higher profit per win) |
| High-Frequency | 50–60% | Variable |
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Can I lose money?
Yes. Copy trading involves market risk. While Stratium selects target wallets with proven track records and applies multiple risk controls, markets are unpredictable and individual strategies can enter losing periods. Never deposit more than you are prepared to have actively traded.
How do I check my performance?
Tap P&L Analytics in the bot menu to view realized P&L, unrealized P&L, win rate, and total ROI. For detailed analytics including per-trade breakdowns, charts, and CSV export, use the web dashboard at app.stratiumsol.com.
How Do I Fix Common Issues?
The bot is not responding
- Verify you are messaging @stratiumsol_bot (not an impersonator with a similar name)
- Press Start again — this re-registers your session
- Check Telegram's server status for outages
- Wait a few minutes — there may be brief maintenance windows
My deposit is not showing up
Deposits are typically detected within seconds. If yours is not showing:
- Verify you sent SOL (not another token) to the correct wallet address shown in the Deposit menu
- Check the transaction on Solscan to confirm it was successfully confirmed on-chain
- Wait 1–2 minutes — network congestion may cause slight delays
- Contact support via the Support button in the bot if the issue persists after 5 minutes
A trade did not execute
Trades may be skipped for several reasons:
- SOL balance is too low (after accounting for the 0.01 SOL reserve and fees)
- The 25% portfolio cap would be exceeded
- The token has insufficient liquidity on Jupiter
- The slippage threshold was exceeded
- A duplicate detection key already exists for this target transaction
Check your Trade History for logged skip reasons. Each skipped trade includes a specific explanation.
