Understanding the Token System

How DollarPerSignal's pay-per-win model works β€” and why it's fairer than every subscription alternative.

What is a Token?

A token is DollarPerSignal's unit of platform credit. 1 token = $1 USD. You buy tokens upfront in packs, and they are stored in your account balance.

When you follow a strategy and a live signal is delivered, 1 token is held against that signal. What happens next depends entirely on the trade outcome.

The Two Scenarios

Signal fires. Trade hits take-profit.
βˆ’1 token
Win
Signal fires. Trade hits stop-loss.
+0.5 tokens
+0.5 Refunded

The key insight: Each signal costs 1 token. If the trade hits stop-loss, 0.5 tokens are refunded automatically. You only pay the full cost for winning signals β€” aligning our incentives with yours.

Important Rules to Know

β†’
Tokens are valid for 1 year from last activity: Your balance stays valid for 1 year from your last activity. Warnings are sent before expiry.
β†’
Tokens are non-transferable: Tokens are tied to your account and cannot be transferred or gifted to other users.
β†’
Token refund β‰  trading loss refund: Getting 0.5 tokens back when a signal loses does not compensate for the loss in your broker account. You still lost that trade.
β†’
Minimum balance for signals: You need at least 1 token in your balance to receive active signals from a followed strategy.
