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:
- Check cycle amount (not too large?)
- Ensure you have sufficient funds on exchange
- 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:

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