USER GUIDE · TELEGRAM BOT

Get the bot running in 5 steps

Everything happens inside Telegram. No app to install, no website to keep open.

⏱ 5 MIN TOTAL · 📱 PHONE OR DESKTOP · 🆓 FREE TESTNET

Pick your exchange + Get API keys

~3 min · Choose 1 of 3 supported exchanges

The bot supports 3 exchanges (Bybit blocked in some regions, Hyperliquid coming soon). Pick whichever has the easiest testnet setup for you. All support paper trading with fake USDT.

🟢 OKX RECOMMENDED

Easiest setup — demo trading uses same API key with a header flag, no separate testnet account needed.

Auth: API Key + Secret + Passphrase

↗ Open OKX API Management

🟦 Bitget

Indo-popular. Demo Futures via paptrading flag. Easy setup, robust API.

Auth: API Key + Secret + Passphrase

↗ Open Bitget API Management

🟧 Binance Futures

Global standard. Separate testnet domain (testnet.binancefuture.com) — register fresh testnet account.

Auth: API Key + Secret (no passphrase)

↗ Open Binance Futures Testnet

🟪 Hyperliquid COMING SOON

Decentralized perp DEX. Wallet-based auth (no KYC, no geo restriction). Phase 2 release.

🔴 Bybit BLOCKED

Bybit blocked in some regions due to regulatory restrictions.

After picking an exchange:

1. Sign up at the exchange's testnet (or main site for OKX/Bitget — they share auth)

2. Get free USDT from their testnet faucet / demo panel

3. Create API key with Trade + Read permissions

4. Copy credentials — you'll paste them into the bot in step 3

⚠ API Secret + Passphrase are shown only once. Copy them safely — you'll need them in step 3.

⚙️ BOT CONFIGURATION

Current settings:
• Signal strength: MEDIUM
• Margin per trade: 10% — Aggressive
• Lev BTC/ETH: 50× · SOL/Top: 25× · Alt: 15×
• Max positions: 3

Select new settings: ⬇

11:33

Three settings:

Strength WEAK = more trades
MEDIUM = balanced (recommended)
STRONG = fewer, higher conviction

Margin % 1% — 50% of balance per trade as margin (fixed collateral)
Example: $100 balance × 10% = $10 margin/trade
Liquidation = full margin loss (~100/lev % move)

Leverage Per-pair tier: BTC/ETH (1-100×), SOL/top alts (1-75×), other alts (1-25×)
Notional = margin × leverage
Loss on SL = notional × SL% (varies with SL distance)

Max positions 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, or 10 concurrent open trades
Auto-cap if total margin exposure × max positions > 50% balance

💡 Start with MEDIUM strength + 5-10% margin + 25× lev + max 3 positions. Adjust after observing 24h of bot activity.

FAQ

Common questions

Bot says "Wrong password"

Run /delete to remove credentials, then /setup again with a new password you'll remember.

No trades happening

Markets may be ranging — bot only trades clean setups. Try lowering signal strength to WEAK via /config. Check /signals to see what's currently flagged.

Trade opened but I want to stop it

Open positions stay until SL/TP hits or you manually close them on the exchange. /stopbot only prevents new trades — it doesn't close existing ones.

Want to switch to live trading?

Currently testnet only. The recommendation is to test for 30 days minimum before considering live. When ready, run /delete and /setup with mainnet API keys (live trading mode will be enabled in a future update).

Ready when you are

Open Telegram, send /start, follow the wizard.
