Bot Creation Wizard

Our intuitive wizard guides you through bot creation in just a few minutes.

Screen 1: Choose Exchange

Click New Bot and select:

  • Hyperliquid — recommended for beginners (low fees, convenient API)
  • Other exchanges — added gradually

Required: API key with trading rights (without withdrawal).

Screen 2: Choose Trading Pair

Enter a pair (e.g., BTC/USDT or ETH/USDT):

  • First token — what you want to buy
  • Second token — what you pay with (usually USDT)

Tip: choose high-volume pairs for better execution.

Screen 3: Choose Strategy

DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging)

Buys regularly, regardless of price. Recommended for beginners.

Parameters:

  • Amount per cycle (e.g., $50)
  • Interval (each hour, day, week)
  • Filter condition (optional)

Grid Trading

Places multiple orders at different price levels. For experienced traders.

Parameters:

  • Low price
  • High price
  • Number of levels

Martingale

Increases order size after losses. Advanced only!

Screen 4: Detailed Parameters

Position Sizing

  • Maximum position: total size in USDT (e.g., $2,000)
  • Investment per cycle: amount per order

Entry Filters (optional)

Add conditions when bot buys:

  • RSI < 30 — buy only when oversold
  • Price above/below EMA — trend following
  • Leave empty — always buy (simplest)

Exit from Position

  • Take Profit: % to close portion of position
  • Stop Loss: loss level to stop
  • Position lifetime: maximum hold time

Screen 5: Trading Mode

Paper Trading (Demo)

Bot copies real prices but doesn't spend real money. Use for testing!

Live Trading (Real Account)

Bot trades with real money. Verify parameters first.

Screen 6: Review and Launch

Before launching:

  1. Check cycle amount (not too large?)
  2. Ensure you have sufficient funds on exchange
  3. Read filter conditions

Click Launch — bot starts trading per schedule.

After Launch

Monitoring

  • Open Active Bots to view current positions
  • Click bot for order history and stats
  • Parameter changes: possible anytime

First Orders

First order should execute within a minute. If not:

  • Check exchange connection (API key)
  • Ensure you have funds on account
  • Check internet connection

Common Beginner Mistake

Too large amounts at start. Begin with $10–50 per cycle, then increase. This reduces risk and lets you get comfortable.
