Selecting "Menu -> Manual Trading" opens a submenu with the following options: "Use Main Settings" and "Use Manual Strategy".

• If you select "Use Main Settings", you can trade manually using the main settings, specifying the necessary parameters: buy and sell conditions, stop-loss, trailing stop, blacklists and other settings both on the "Settings → Main" tab and on the terminal’s main screen using the relevant buttons and sliders.

• If you select "Use Manual Strategy", you can trade manually using the selected Manual strategy. Please note that if there are no manual strategies in the strategies window, the "Use Manual Strategy" option will be inactive.

Manual strategies allow for more detailed configuration of basic and additional parameters, such as placing a grid of multi-orders in a single click with a specified step and size, various levels for placing Sell orders, additional stops, trailing stops, BV_SV stops and other settings.

It is recommended to create several Manual strategies straight away for different types of volatility, bearing in mind the following rule: the higher the coin’s volatility, the wider the step for multi-orders and the higher the Sell order level.

Examples of Manual strategies can be found in the MANUAL folder of the MoonBot ID 500 terminal, which can be downloaded from our website. You can download the Quick Start (Demo Version by clicking the "DOWNLOAD DEMO VERSION" button.

After creating Manual strategies, in the strategy window, click on "Menu -> Manual Trading" and then select "Use Manual Strategy".

Then, on the main terminal screen, click to "Select a manual strategy" and choose the desired strategy from the list.

Once selected, all orders will be placed using this strategy. In this mode, all main Buy and Sell order parameters will be determined by the selected manual strategy.

In manual trading, stop settings are usually used less frequently, as the trader monitors position closure visually. However, if needed, stop levels can be configured in the Stops tab within the manual strategy settings. In high-volatility conditions, using a manual strategy with short stop levels may lead to immediate position closure at a stop-loss, resulting in a loss.

Unlike other strategies, Manual strategies begin to operate immediately after being selected and do not require additional activation. They remain active regardless of whether the indicator light is on or off.

Manual strategies can also be selected using hotkey settings for manual trading, which are configured in "Settings → Hotkeys → Manual Strategies". By enabling the Button option in the control panel, buttons will appear in the auxiliary control area.

Right-clicking on these buttons allows you to select and assign the necessary manual strategies for quick access.

Below each Button label in the "Settings → Hotkeys → Manual Strategies" tab, you can set hotkey combinations to activate the corresponding manual strategies assigned to the buttons.
