ACCESS POINTS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Access points allow crypto bots to interact with your selected exchange (Binance, Bitfinex, Bittrex or HitBTC). They can then set orders and get the activity updates they need to respond quickly to market fluctuations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

HOW TO SET UP AN ACCESS POINT<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>

Once you\u2019ve created your account and set up your automated trading bot,\u00a0select the exchange<\/strong>\u00a0you want to trade on.\u00a0<\/span>

Name your access point<\/strong>\u00a0to help you identify the different exchanges you\u2019re trading on, and quickly navigate the activity reports you receive from each. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>

Link to the exchange then\u00a0set up an API key<\/strong>. This is available after you\u2019ve logged into an exchange and created a profile. Select the \u201cread balance\u201d and \u201cplace order\u201d options. Do not check the \u201cwithdrawal\u201d option.\u00a0<\/span>

You\u2019ll also need an\u00a0API secret key<\/strong>, which can be found in the exchange settings.\u00a0<\/span>

Check the\u00a0maximum number of cryptocurrency bots<\/strong>\u00a0you can set up to use this access point. Different exchanges can have different restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I specify API-key and API-secret to access my account on the exchange. Is it safe?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Cryptocurrency exchanges have foreseen this moment. They offer advanced API key settings in which you can configure various rights. The most important thing –\u00a0DO NOT enable withdrawal through the API key.<\/strong>\u00a0To operate the service bot you need to allow it sufficient rights to view the accounts status and to place orders.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

BOT SETTINGS<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

HOW THE BOT WORKS<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on your pricing plan, the crypto trading bot always has at least one or several extra orders placed. So once you\u2019ve configured your bot and the trading criteria you set is met by the price trend, a position is opened, and the bot will take profit on your exit criteria.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the take profit order is executed (closing a position), any extra orders related to this position are removed.<\/span><\/p>\n

All bots manage the risk based on the configuration you set.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

AVOID MANUAL MANIPULATION<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We do not recommend taking any action that could interfere with the bot\u2019s automated strategies, unless you are an experienced crypto trader.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

SET UP YOUR CRYPTO BOT\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"binance<\/span>

NAME YOUR BOT: This helps you to differentiate between your cryptocurrency bots and allows for quick navigation of their activity updates.\u00a0<\/span>

ACCESS POINT: This is essential to connect your trading bot to a selected exchange.\u00a0<\/span>

TRADING PAIR: Choose a pair to trade from those available at the selected exchange. Make sure your bots don\u2019t clash with existing pairs. For example, if another bot is already trading BTC\/USDT, you cannot trade USDT\/BTC.\u00a0<\/span>

LONG OR SHORT STRATEGY: A long trade buys tokens that are expected to increase in value at a lower price so you can sell them later at a higher price. A short trade sells coins that are expected to fall in value at a higher price with the intent of buying the same amount back, but at an even lower price\u2014this leaves you with the same amount of coins plus the profit made.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All bots can also be configured to use AI logic to adapt when to switch trade from a long to short strategies within a position.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n


\"crypto<\/span>
TAKE PROFIT: Set the percentage of profit you want to gain from a single transaction after exchange commission is paid. This percentage must be maintained for the total amount of quote currency spent on the deal.\u00a0<\/span>

FIRST ORDER VOLUME: This can be a percentage of the deposit or a fixed amount. Percentage (from 0.2% to 100%) is calculated from the amount of currency that you\u2019re buying long or selling short. The fixed amount is set in the pair\u2019s first currency. For example, if you\u2019re short trading ETH\/XRP, decide how much you want to sell then calculate the amount in ETH to get your volume. \u00a0<\/span>

\"cryptocurrency<\/span>

STEP OF EXTRA ORDER: An extra order gives you the opportunity to make a profit even if the market doesn\u2019t go in the direction of your strategy. The crypto bot will buy low in a long trade and high in a short trade. A step of extra order is a percentage (from 1% to 10%) of the change in first order value.\u00a0<\/span>

MARTINGALE: This is an automatic increase in the volume of each extra order by a factor of 1.05 to 2. It helps to regain value lost during unfavourable market conditions. This is a high-risk option best used by experienced traders.\u00a0<\/span>

DEALS LIMIT: This is a set number of successful transactions that automatically stops the cryptocurrency bot from trading until you activate it again. You can also reset the deals limit and deactivate the bot manually.\u00a0<\/span>

\"trade<\/span>

EXTRA ORDER LIMIT: You can set a maximum number (0 to 100) of extra orders to be placed. This number limits the percentage of quote currency used to buy coins in a long trade, or sell coins in a short trade. \u00a0<\/span>

EXTRA ORDER COUNT: Set the number (0 to 10) of extra orders that can be placed simultaneously after the initial order is executed. \u00a0<\/span>

\u00a0<\/p>\n

ADDITIONAL TOOLS<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"bot<\/span>

MARKET ENTRY PRICE: Place the first order and start a deal as soon as the first ask is received. If the ask is too low, the crypto trading bot will search for the optimal price available, which means the deal may be delayed. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>

BUY COINS FOR COMMISSION: If you don\u2019t have enough quote currency in your balance to satisfy an order, the cryptocurrency bot will buy additional coins to cover the commission (equivalent of 5 USD). If this option is turned off, make sure you have enough coins to cover the commission.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

FILTERS AND SIGNALS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"cryptocurrency<\/strong><\/span>

All filters and signals are based on the analysis of each pair\u2019s trading activity.\u00a0<\/span>

D \/ DAYTIME FILTER: The automated trading bot analyzes trading activity from the previous day and sets a forecast for the current day. If this forecast does not look profitable, the bot will not open a deal.\u00a0<\/span>

Find daytime filter status in Quotes.\u00a0<\/span>

If the previous day\u2019s closing level is higher than its opening level, the entry signal is positive. A bot with an active daytime filter can therefore open trades all day. This is indicated by a black dot. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>

If the previous day\u2019s closing level is lower than its opening level, the entry signal is negative. A crypto bot with an active daytime filter will therefore not initiate trades. This is indicated by a white dot.\u00a0<\/span>

Opening and closing times are set at GMT.\u00a0<\/span>

V \/ VOLUME FILTER: A new deal will only be opened if a pair has traded sufficient volume during the last 24 hours. This is 100 BTC or 100 ETH, depending on the pair\u2019s quote currency.\u00a0<\/span>

B \/ BOLLINGER SIGNAL: Trading pair activity is analyzed every five minutes to assess performance over a period of one and a half hours. Once certain conditions are met, and an optimal entry point is identified, the crypto bot enters the market or places a limit order. A limit order can be overcome in a fast market if the bot cancels and replaces it repeatedly until the transaction begins at a better level.\u00a0<\/span>

TRADING WITHOUT FILTERS: If all filters are disabled, a bot will trade continuously. This can be profitable during a period of market growth or when there\u2019s no market movement at all. It can also lead to big losses. To trade successfully without filters, you need to monitor the market constantly. This mode is therefore recommended for experienced traders only.<\/span>

TRADING WITH MULTIPLE FILTERS: Filters and signals work well together. For example, a bot with two active filters and a Bollinger signal will only enter the market when all conditions are met, making a profitable outcome more likely. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BOT<\/strong> STATUS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

OFFLINE<\/span><\/strong>: This is the response status the trading bot when a successful STOP command is initiated. Once the bot is in this state, it does not perform any trading and (depending on the subscription plan) allows reporting to be done on the events of its trading cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n

ONLINE-READY<\/span><\/strong>: This is the status of the bot after a successful RESET command execution. The bot is now ready to accept the trade configuration parameters that comes with the START command.<\/span><\/p>\n

ONLINE-TRADING<\/strong><\/span>: The trading bot is now active and receiving price movements from the exchange. It is also ready to receive a signal. If no signal is received, and there are no filters in place, the bot will simply complete the current transaction (if any and depending on the bot subscription plan) and then immediately open a new one when it identifies an appropriate entry signal (based on the configuration).<\/span><\/p>\n

ONLINE-TRADING ANALYSING<\/strong><\/span>: The trading bot is collating the price and volume data it needs to perform an assessment. This data including the parameters you provide will determine an entry signal. This activity is continuous throughout the whole trading process.<\/span><\/p>\n

ONLINE-TRADING LONG-IN<\/strong><\/span>: The trading bot has started a trade in a Long position. However depending on the configuration you set, it will determine the options available to it for trade reversals.<\/span><\/p>\n

ONLINE-TRADING SHORT-IN<\/strong><\/span>: The trading bot has started a trade in a Long position. However depending on the configuration you set, it will determine the options available to it for trade reversals.<\/span><\/p>\n

ONLINE-TRADING – <\/strong><\/span>: The trading bot has closed a position and is considering another position.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

BOT<\/strong>\u00a0CONTROLS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

START<\/span><\/strong>: This command will set the bot to engage in the trading process. Once the process completes its initiation and commences tracking the price movements, the bot status returns with the status ONLINE-TRADING. \u00a0<\/span>

STOP<\/span><\/strong>: The command will cause the bot to cease all trading immediately. Any positions will be left as they are. Any trade orders made to any exchanges will be completed. The user will need to close any positions manually.\u00a0<\/span>

RESET<\/span><\/strong>: This re-initialises the bot and is a process that is required before the START command can be executed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once a STOP is executed, a RESET is required before the START command can be performed.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n
