Best Practices for Bot Usage
Key Guidelines
  • It is recommended to run the bot on an exchange sub-account with a dedicated balance. This helps isolate the bot from other trading activities, reducing risk and improving fund management.
  • Maintain a slightly larger exchange balance than the amount specified in the bot. This ensures that in the event of initial losing positions, the bot can continue trading with the same position sizes. For Futures exchanges, your exchange balance should be at least 2x larger than the amount set in the bot to account for potential losses and margin requirements.
  • Avoid drawing conclusions after only a few days of trading. Short-term losses are common in markets, and it’s crucial to evaluate performance over a longer period, such as several months.
  • Use multiple trading pairs to increase the number of transactions and diversify risk. This helps improve trading opportunities and reduce dependence on a single market.
  • Do not manually close a position using the "Close" button if it hasn't reached its TakeProfit target, even if it shows a profit. The system calculates potential long-term gains based on TakeProfit and losses based on StopLoss. Selling too early, for example at 3% instead of the targeted 6%, might result in overall losses when larger StopLosses occur.
  • Connect your Telegram channel to receive notifications about bot activity.
  • If no new positions are being opened, check the "Logs" tab under the "Trades" menu to diagnose potential issues.
