This guide explains how to start using ready-made bots in Vector Trading. If you want to build your own webhook integration or send custom signals from TradingView, skip to the technical signals guide.

Before you launch any bot, make sure you have:

• a Telegram account for login and notifications;
• an active Vector Trading subscription;
• an account on a supported exchange;
• a clear understanding that automated trading involves real risk.

Open the pricing page and choose a plan based on how you want to work:

• how many exchanges you need to connect;
• how many bots or subscriptions you plan to run;
• whether you need access to the full trading terminal and automation features.

The pricing page is the source of truth for current plan limits and availability. Start there before you connect anything.

Go to the trading terminal. This is where you connect exchanges, choose bot packages, configure bots, and launch automation.

If this is your first time in the terminal, start with the exchange connection step. Everything else depends on it.

Inside the terminal, open the exchange connection form and enter your API credentials. Use the guide that matches your exchange:

• ByBit connection
• BingX connection
• OKX connection

For OKX, you need three values: apiKey, secret, and apiPass.

When you create exchange API keys, give them only the permissions required for trading and keep withdrawals disabled.

After the exchange is connected, open the terminal dashboard and browse the available bots packages. Each package can contain one or more bots.

Open the bots package you want, go to subscription or bot management, and enable the specific bots you want to use. You do not need to launch every bot in that package if only part of the setup fits your market or risk profile.

Before launch, review the risk settings for each bot:

• balanceLimit controls how much capital the subscription can use in total;
• tradeAmount controls how much a single bot can allocate per trade;
• entries, takeProfits, and stop let you fine-tune execution if you want to override the default strategy behavior.

If you are unsure, start conservatively and increase limits only after you understand how the bot behaves in live conditions.

Vector Trading currently supports two practical outcomes:

• Notifications only: Notifications enabled, Trading disabled
• Trading together with notifications: Trading enabled, Notifications enabled

Running trading without notifications is not available as a standalone mode in the current UI. If trading is enabled, notifications stay enabled as well.

When the configuration is ready, click Launch and confirm the automated trading consent. After launch, monitor the bot from the terminal:

• check positions and orders;
• watch notifications in Telegram;
• review fills, stop-losses, take-profits, and status changes.

If something does not look right, pause the bot, adjust the limits, and relaunch only after the configuration matches your intended risk.

Once you are comfortable with ready-made bots, you can move on to the technical signals guide to connect your own automation, TradingView strategy, or external webhook sender.
