Getting started

For your first steps in autotrading with Moonbot, it's best to use the simplest strategy possible with minimal risk. The goal is to demonstrate how automated trading works, not to maximize profits.

You can base your simple autostrategy on an existing signal detector but with automatic trade execution enabled. In this case, the terminal not only detects the target market situation but also executes trades accordingly.

When setting up the strategy, it’s important to:

• Use the minimum order size allowed by the exchange

• Avoid complex filters and multiple conditions

• Enable automatic trading only after testing the strategy

• Preferably start in Emulator Mode.

This approach lets you observe how trades are opened and closed, how they appear in the interface and reports, and helps you understand how autotrading works — all with minimal risk.

Simple autotrading serves as a bridge between manual trading/detectors and full automation, allowing you to maintain control while learning.
