Understanding the Bot Interface
Understanding the Bot Interface
Introduction
The Strategy Builder Bot interface is designed as a no-code, visual builder that guides you through creating sophisticated trading strategies without writing any code. This guide explains every component of the interface and how to use each section effectively.
Interface Overview
The Strategy Builder Bot uses a vertical, mobile-friendly interface with six main sections:
Main Settings - Basic bot configuration
Base Order - Entry conditions and logic
Additional Entries - Scaling and position building
Take Profit - Exit strategies for profits
Stop Loss - Risk management and protection
Create & Name - Final bot creation
Section 1: Main Settings

Options: All your connected exchanges (Binance, Bybit, OKX, etc.)
Example: "My Binance Spot", "My Bybit Futures"
Tip: Choose the exchange with the best liquidity for your target pairs
Market
Purpose: Determines the base currency for your bot
Common Options: USDT, USDC, BTC, BUSD
Function: The currency your bot uses to buy other cryptocurrencies
Recommendation: USDT for beginners (most liquid and stable)

Purpose: Sets the maximum capital per individual trade
Format: Enter amount with currency (e.g., "100 USDT", "0.01 BTC")
Risk Management: Start with small amounts while learning
Scaling: Increase as you gain confidence and see profits

Purpose: Restricts which coins your bot can trade
Empty Field: Bot can trade any available pair in the market
Specific Coins: Add BTC, ETH, SOL, etc. to limit trading pairs

Purpose: Limits simultaneous open positions
Range: 1-20 trades
Interface: Drag slider to set desired limit
Strategy Impact:
Scalpers: Often use 1
Grid/DCA bots: Use higher numbers (5-20)
Section 2: Base Order (Entry Logic)
Order Type Selection
Market: Executes immediately at current market price
Pros: Guaranteed execution
Cons: Potential slippage, taker fees
Limit: Places order at specific price level
Pros: Better price control, maker rebates
Cons: May not execute if price moves away
Note: Base Order only supports Rules-based conditions, not Price Change triggers.
Trigger Type
Purpose: Determines when your bot evaluates conditions
Options:
Once per bar: Checks conditions once per candle period
Once per bar close: Checks conditions when candle closes
Best Practice: Use "Once per bar close" for indicator-based strategies
Bar TF (Timeframe)
Purpose: Sets the candle timeframe for trigger evaluation
Range: 1m to 1D
Matching: Should align with your indicator timeframes
Example: 1H timeframe for hourly RSI analysis
Condition Builder
First Condition: Select indicator or price data from dropdown
Timeframe: Separate timeframe setting for the selected indicator
Operator: Comparison method dropdown (Greater, Less Than, Cross Above, etc.)
Second Condition: Choose another indicator or "Value" from dropdown
Value Field: Numeric input when "Value" is selected as second condition
Logic Tools
AND: Both conditions must be true
OR: Either condition can be true
NOT: Inverts the condition result
Add Condition: Adds more conditions to the same rule
Add Rule: Creates a new independent rule block

Orders Price Change Scale: Gap multiplier between entries
Use Case: Grid trading and DCA strategies

Price Change: Percentage-based profit taking
Orders: Number of profit-taking slices (1-10)
Order Size Scale: Size of each profit slice

Conditions: Indicator-based exits
Interface: Same rule builder as Base Order
Common Examples:
