Creating Trade Bots

TradeServer Cloud offers two ways to create a bot: the guided Standard View and the flexible Advanced View. Both lead to the same result -- a configured bot ready to trade -- but they cater to different levels of experience.

Standard View

The Standard View is the default when you open the Create Bot page from the sidebar under Bots > Create Bot.

At the top of the page, a Quick Start banner offers a shortcut: Browse Templates lets you clone a pre-configured bot template, which is useful when you want a working starting point rather than configuring everything from scratch.

### Choosing a Bot Type

The main section displays a grid of bot cards. Each card represents a pre-built bot type with:

• The bot name and difficulty level (Beginner or Intermediate)
• A short description of the strategy
• A market condition tag indicating when the bot performs best
• Create Bot -- starts the configuration process
• Learn More -- opens documentation for that bot type

Available bot types include:

Bot Type	Level	Strategy
DCA Bot	Beginner	Dollar-cost averaging into positions
WaveRunner Bot	Beginner	Rides market waves with timed entries
Grid Bot (Spot)	Beginner	Grid trading on spot markets
Grid Bot (Futures)	Intermediate	Leveraged grid trading on futures
Order Bot	Beginner	Custom order placement strategies
Ping Pong Bot	Beginner	Buys and sells at alternating price levels
Advanced Crypto Index Bot	Intermediate	Index-based portfolio management
Flash Crash Bot	Intermediate	Places orders to catch flash crash events

Configuring a Bot

Clicking Create Bot on any card opens a configuration modal specific to that bot type. The modal includes:

1. Name -- a default name is provided (e.g., "My Grid Bot (Futures) #1"), but you can change it to anything
2. Account -- select which exchange account to run the bot on. Simulated accounts are prefixed with [Sim]
3. Market -- select the trading pair. Available markets depend on the selected account and exchange

Click Save to create the bot. This will take you to the bot configuration and deployment.

## Advanced View

Switch to Advanced View using the toggle at the top of the Create Bot page. This view replaces the bot card grid with a full script browser.

### How It Works

The Advanced View lets you create a bot from any HaasScript in your library. The interface has two panels:

Left sidebar -- Categories:

• All -- every script you have access to
• Custom -- scripts you created
• Favorites -- scripts you starred
• BOTS -- filtered to bot scripts (All, Built-in, Custom, HaasScript.com)
• COMMANDS -- filtered to command scripts (All, Built-in, Custom, HaasScript.com)

Main list -- Script table:

Columns show the script name, creation date, last updated date, and a delete icon. Browse or search for the script you want, then select it to proceed with bot creation.

Use this view when you have a custom HaasScript or a script you downloaded from the community that isn't available as a pre-built bot type.

Creating a Bot from Bot Management

There is a second way to create bots. Navigate to Bots > Bot Management from the sidebar. This page lists all your bots and has filter tabs across the top: All Bots, Favorite Bots, Active Bots, Idle Bots, Open Positions, and Open Orders.

When no bots exist, the page shows an empty state. Click the + button at the bottom center to open the Add Bot modal.

This modal asks for three things:

1. Name -- Your bot's name
2. Account -- The exchange account to use
3. Market -- The trading pair

After clicking Save, a Select Script modal appears. This is a searchable list of all available scripts. Type in the search bar to filter (e.g., "simple grid") and select the script your bot should run. The bot is then created and appears in Bot Management.

This workflow is the equivalent of the Advanced View but accessible directly from the management page. It is useful when you already know which script you want and prefer a quick setup without browsing categories.
