Getting started
Connecting the Terminal to an Exchange
To operate properly, Moonbot requires an exchange account and an active connection to a supported cryptocurrency exchange. All trading operations are executed through the exchange, while the terminal serves as a convenient tool for managing trades.
This section explains two key steps in sequence: first, creating an exchange account (using Binance as an example), and second, connecting Moonbot to the exchange via API keys. This order ensures that your exchange account is correctly set up and securely linked to the terminal for trading.
Creating an Exchange Account
To use Moonbot, you need an active account on a cryptocurrency exchange. Your funds are stored on the exchange, orders are placed there, and trading results are recorded on your exchange account. Without an exchange account, Moonbot cannot be connected or used for trading.
The Moonbot documentation uses Binance as an example, as it is one of the most popular platforms and is fully supported by the terminal. The process for creating an account on other supported exchanges is generally similar.
Creating an account typically involves registration, identity verification, and basic security setup. Once these steps are completed, your account is ready for funding and connection to Moonbot.
We recommend referring to the corresponding section in the Moonbot learning materials for a step-by-step guide on registering and preparing your exchange account.
