Getting started
Installing Moonbot on Windows
Installing Moonbot is simple and requires no special skills. Since it's a portable application, setup consists of downloading, extracting, and launching the program.
Where to Download the Terminal
ou should always download Moonbot from the official website to ensure that you’re getting the latest version and to avoid security or compatibility issues.
On the download page, you’ll find two versions of Moonbot:
This version is designed to help new users explore the terminal's features. You download a preconfigured Moonbot PRO archive that runs in emulation mode. In this mode, no real orders are placed on the exchange and no real funds are used. It's ideal for testing the interface and functionality without risk.
This version is a clean archive of the FREE version of Moonbot. After downloading and extracting it, you can connect the terminal to your exchange account using API keys and trade using your own funds. Later, you can upgrade to the PRO version if needed, or continue using the FREE version.
Choose the version based on your goals:
-
For exploration and testing — the demo version
-
For real trading — the clean version.
Installing the Terminal
To install Moonbot:
-
Download the Moonbot archive from the official site
-

⚠️ Attention! The folder must not be located in system or temporary directories. Also, make sure the path contains no Cyrillic characters or spaces. This ensures stable saving of settings and proper operation of the terminal.
After extraction, Moonbot is ready to run — no additional installation is required.
First Launch
To start Moonbot open the folder where you extracted the files and launch the main executable file of the terminal. On first launch, Windows may request permission for network access — you must allow it, as Moonbot connects to exchanges via the internet.
After a successful launch, you will see the main terminal window. At this stage, Moonbot is not yet connected to an exchange and not ready for trading. The next step is to configure and connect your API keys, which we will cover in the following section.
