6. Select a quote currency

Your quote currency is used to buy coins. Sold positions will be automatically converted into your selected quote currency. You can choose from a range of quote currencies. If you're new to trading, we recommend using a stablecoin such as USDT or EUR.

Tip: if you wish to use another quote currency than shown in the drop-down, you can switch later after the initial setup of your bot.

7. Configure your bot

There are two ways to configure your bot:

  1. Follow signals. Simplify your trading by using signals from a third-party analyst. This is a great option for beginners or those looking for a quick and easy setup.
  2. Build your bot. For experienced traders, customize your trading by implementing your own technical analysis and automating your existing strategy. This option requires initial setup and ongoing monitoring.
