Creating a Trading Bot

Overview

A trading bot is an automated system that executes trading operations on a cryptocurrency exchange according to a specified strategy. Before creating a bot, make sure you have connected API keys for the exchange in the "API Keys" section.

Bot Types

The platform supports various types of trading bots:

• DCA Bot — Dollar Cost Averaging strategy

Initial Balance

Specify the initial balance for trading. This is the amount the bot will use to open positions.

Leverage

For futures trading, you can specify leverage from 1 to 100. Be careful with high leverage — it increases both potential profit and risks.

Margin Mode

• Cross — cross margin, shared balance for all positions

Averaging Orders (DCA)

For averaging strategies, you can configure:

• Number of Orders — how many additional orders will be placed
• Amount per Order — size of each averaging order
• Step — percentage price change between orders
• Amount Multiplier — coefficient for increasing amount of each next order
• Step Multiplier — coefficient for changing step between orders

Placement Type

• Immediately — place orders immediately when opening position
• Condition — place orders when certain conditions are met

Take Profit and Stop Loss

Take Profit (TP)

Configure profit-taking levels:

• Up to 5 TP levels
• For each level specify:
  • Activation Percentage — at what price change the level activates
  • Position Close Percentage — what part of position will be closed
  • Activation Type — conditions for level activation
  • Trailing Stop (optional) — trailing stop for automatic level adjustment

Stop Loss (SL)

Configure loss limitation level:

• Activation Percentage — at what price change SL activates
• Position Close Percentage — what part of position will be closed

Important: At least one TP or SL level must be configured.

Entry and Exit Strategy

Configure conditions for entering and exiting positions. Use technical indicators and filters to determine optimal entry and exit points.

Completion Mode

Choose when the bot should stop working:

• Cycles — after a certain number of trading cycles
• Days — after a certain number of days
• End Date — until specified date

Depending on the selected mode, specify the corresponding value (number of cycles, days, or end date).
