Quick Start in 5 Minutes
Welcome to AI Traders! This guide will help you create your first trading bot and start earning.
Step 1: Connect Your Exchange
Go to Settings → Exchanges and choose Hyperliquid or another supported platform. You'll need an API key — this is secure, use "read and trading only" mode on the exchange.
Important: never give the bot withdrawal permissions.
Step 2: Choose a Trading Pair
Go to New Bot and select:
- Trading pair (e.g., BTC/USDT)
- Exchange (Hyperliquid)
- Strategy type (DCA for beginners)
Step 3: Set Parameters
Basic settings:
- Amount per cycle: $50 (start small)
- Interval: every day
- Minimum entry price: optional
Filters (optional for beginners):
- Leave empty or select RSI for filtering
Step 4: Launch the Bot
Click Start Trading. The bot will immediately begin executing orders according to schedule.
First Results
In Paper Trading mode, you can test without real money. This is important! Run through a few cycles in demo before switching to a real account.
