General questions
What is Astron?
Astron is a digital trading platform with more than 270 assets: cryptocurrencies, currency pairs (forex), global indices and commodities, all in a single account, through your browser or the app.
How much money do I have in the demo account?
When you create your account, you receive R$ 10.000 in virtual balance on the demo account to practice risk-free. This balance isn't real money and can't be withdrawn.
Can I use Astron on my phone?
Yes. Astron has an app for Android and iOS, and it also works directly in your computer's or phone's browser.
What are e-wallets?
They're digital payment accounts you can use to deposit and withdraw. When you deposit through an e-wallet, the withdrawal is usually sent back to the same wallet.
Trading
How do I start trading?
Create your account, practice on the demo account and, once you feel confident, make your first deposit. Then just choose the asset, set the amount and click Buy or Sell.
What's the best time to trade?
It depends on the asset. The cryptocurrency market runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; forex and indices see more activity when the major exchanges open.
What do Buy and Sell mean?
Buy means betting the price will go up; Sell means betting it will go down. This lets you trade both rising and falling markets.
How do I limit my losses?
Use a Stop-loss to automatically close the trade at a set loss level, and never risk more than 1% to 2% of your balance on a single trade.
Depositing funds
How do I make a deposit?
Go to the deposit area on the platform, choose your payment method, enter the amount and confirm. The balance appears in your live account after confirmation.
Can I deposit using someone else's account?
No. Deposits must come from an account or payment method in your own name, the same holder as the Astron account.
Which payment methods can I use?
The available methods appear in the platform's deposit area and may vary depending on your country.
My deposit hasn't shown up yet. What do I do?
Check the status in your transaction history. If it's been pending longer than expected for that method, contact your account manager.
Withdrawing funds
How can I make a withdrawal?
Go to the withdrawal area on the platform, choose the method, enter the amount and confirm. The withdrawal is usually sent back to the same method used for the deposit.
Where can I check my withdrawal status?
In your account's transaction history, which shows whether the request is under review, approved or completed.
Is there a limit on withdrawal requests?
There's no limit on the number of requests. Each withdrawal amount just can't exceed the available balance in your live account.
Account
How do I protect my account?
Use a strong, unique password, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) and never share your access codes.
How do I view my trading history?
On the platform, open the trading and transaction history to see everything that's been done on the account.
Can I have more than one account?
Each person should have only one Astron account, with their own information.
I forgot my password. What do I do?
On the login screen, click “Forgot my password” and follow the instructions sent to your registered email.
Verification
Why do I need to verify my account?
Verification protects your account against fraud and is required to unlock withdrawals.
What documents should I submit?
An official photo ID (national ID card, driver's license or passport) and, if you deposited by card, a photo of the card with the CVV covered.
How long does verification take?
Usually a few hours. Clear, valid documents that match your registration details speed up the review.
My documents were rejected. Now what?
Resubmit them with a clear photo, no glare, and all edges visible. If you have questions, contact your account manager.

How do I contact support?
