Managing Bots

What it is

Bots are the autonomous agents that execute trades on your behalf. Each bot targets a specific token pair on a specific network and DEX. You configure how much capital it manages, its trading behavior, risk limits, and schedule. Once active, a bot runs continuously according to its configuration — pausing, resuming, and respecting daily limits automatically.

How to think about it

You can run multiple bots simultaneously — each with its own display name, configuration, wallets, and trade history. Bots can be created from scratch, cloned from an existing one, renamed at any time, paused without losing settings, or permanently deleted.

Step-by-step

  1. Create a new Bot

    Click "+ New Bot" on the Bots page. Enter a Display Name — something descriptive like "ETH Scalper" or "Humayun's Hot Bot". The platform automatically generates a unique internal ID from your name (e.g. eth-scalper-a3f7) so you never have to think about identifiers. Then configure the network, token pair, wallets, and trading parameters, and click Save.

  2. Understand Display Name vs Bot ID

    Every bot has two identifiers: a Display Name (what you see in the UI — fully editable at any time) and a Bot ID (the internal storage key, auto-generated on creation and never changes). The Bot ID is shown in grey beneath the Display Name field inside Configure. You can rename a bot as many times as you like without affecting its trade history or configuration.

  3. Configure trading parameters

    Open Configure on any bot card. Set the Token Pair (base and quote symbols plus contract addresses), DEX Router (Uniswap V2 or V3), Min/Max Trade amounts in USD, Buy Probability %, Max Slippage %, daily capital cap, and the active trading window (UTC). Changes take effect on the bot's next trade cycle.

  4. Pause and Resume a Bot

    Each bot card has a Pause / Resume button. Pausing stops the bot from executing new trades immediately — it does not affect wallets, balances, or any open state. The bot's status badge switches from Healthy (green) to Paused (grey). Click Resume to re-activate. Use Pause when you want to temporarily halt trading without losing any configuration.

  5. Clone a Bot

    Click the copy icon (blue) on any bot card to create a duplicate. The clone inherits all settings — network, pair, wallets, trade parameters — with a new auto-generated ID and a display name prefixed with "Copy of". The clone starts paused so you can review and adjust before activating. Cloning is ideal when you want to run the same strategy on a different token pair or with different capital limits.

  6. Rename a Bot

    Click Configure on any bot card. The first field under Basic Information is the Display Name. Edit it and click Save Configuration. The new name appears immediately on the Bots list. The underlying Bot ID does not change — trade history and analytics remain intact.

  7. Delete a Bot

    Click the red trash icon on a bot card. A confirmation modal will appear showing the bot's ID. Click Delete to permanently remove the bot and its configuration. This cannot be undone. Note: your plan's bot limit is freed up immediately after deletion, so you can create a new bot in its place.

Tips & pitfalls

  • Use descriptive display names that include the strategy style and pair — e.g. "MCN Accumulator", "WETH Night Scalper". This makes the Bots list easy to scan at a glance.
  • Clone first, then adjust — it's faster than creating a bot from scratch when you want a variation of an existing strategy.
  • Pause a bot before editing sensitive fields (wallet keys, capital limits) to avoid a trade firing mid-save.
  • Bots on Polygon and Arbitrum have significantly lower gas costs — ideal for high-frequency configurations.
  • Each bot's daily progress bar at the bottom of its card shows trades executed vs planned for today. A stuck bar means the bot is paused or the active window has not started yet.
