Non-custodial
Non-custodial means a service never holds your funds. Your assets stay in your own exchange account or wallet, and the service cannot withdraw them.
Non-custodial means that a tool or service never takes possession of your money. Your assets remain in your own exchange account or wallet, under your control, and the service has no ability to move them out. The opposite, custodial, means handing your funds to a third party that holds them on your behalf, which introduces counterparty risk: if they fail or are compromised, your funds are at risk.
For trading tools, the non-custodial standard usually works through trade-only access. A service connects to your exchange with permission to place orders but not to withdraw funds. It can act on your account within those limits, but it can never send your money anywhere.
Crypto Wealth is non-custodial. It never holds your coins. You execute on your own exchange, and the optional AutoTrade tier connects through trade-only access that can place orders but never withdraw. Your funds stay where they are, which keeps the worst-case risk firmly inside your own control.
