Your First Week on BotTrade.app: The Step-by-Step Guide

Day 1: Sign Up and Get Oriented

Create your free account. Explore the dashboard: sidebar navigation, KPI cards, the different sections. Click through the settings and optionally connect your Telegram account for automated reports.

Day 2: Create Your First Bot

Head to the AI Bot Builder. Start with the simplest option: "AI Auto." The AI analyzes the current market phase and creates a matching strategy. Choose BTC/USDT as your first pair and the 4h timeframe. Let the bot run.

Day 3: Learn Backtesting

While your first bot is running, create a second bot — this time with your own idea. "DCA on ETH, weekly." Backtest it over 6 months. Compare the key metrics: PnL, win rate, Sharpe ratio, max drawdown.

Day 4: Discover the Marketplace

Visit the Strategy Marketplace. Check out which strategies from other traders are performing well. For just 1 EUR, you can view a strategy and adopt it for yourself. Or simply get inspired.

Day 5: Analyze Performance

Your first bot now has 3 days of data. Check the reporting: How many trades? What's the win rate? Does it match the backtest? If not, why not?

Day 6: Optimize and Launch a Second Bot

Based on your findings: adjust parameters (maybe a tighter stop-loss?) or leave the bot as is and start a second one in parallel with a different strategy. Diversification is key.

Day 7: Make Your Decision

You now have real data on your bots. Decide: which plan fits? Starter (1 bot), Pro Stack (multiple bots), or Private (anonymous ranking)? Or: keep testing with the free tier.

The Most Important Lesson

In one week of paper trading, you'll learn more than in months of theory. You'll see how markets move, how bots react, and where your strategy has strengths and weaknesses.
