Configuring your trading bot

Understand DCA settings, budgets, and how to optimize your bot.

Bot Configuration


Your bot uses a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy to automatically buy crypto assets at regular intervals.


Key settings


Assets: Select which cryptocurrencies to trade (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL). The bot will distribute your budget across selected assets.


Budget: Set your daily or per-cycle budget. The bot won't exceed this amount.


DCA Levels: Configure how many buy orders to place at different price levels. More levels = more averaging but requires more capital.


Volatility Filter: When enabled, the bot adjusts its behavior based on market volatility — buying more aggressively during dips and scaling back during pumps.


Tips for beginners

  • Start with a small budget to get comfortable
  • Stick with major assets (BTC, ETH) initially
  • Use the backtesting feature to test your settings with historical data
  • Review your performance weekly in the dashboard

    • Plan-specific features

  • Basic: Up to 3 assets, standard DCA
  • Pro: Up to 10 assets, advanced DCA levels
  • Expert: Unlimited assets, all features including manual sell and backtesting
