A cryptocurrency is a digital currency secured by cryptography and powered by blockchain technology. Transactions are recorded on a decentralized, peer-to-peer (P2P) network, without the need for banks or payment processors.

Cryptocurrencies are accessed through crypto wallets or exchanges. Although many say they "store" crypto in a wallet, balances are actually recorded on the blockchain.

Use cases have expanded well beyond payments to include decentralized finance, governance, gaming, and real-world asset tokenization.

Investing in cryptocurrency carries risk. It is important to research projects independently, understand how the market works, and manage risk before making any decisions.

Click the ▶️ arrow next to Binance Futures in the top bar to expand the config panel. Enter your Binance API key and secret (from Binance API Management → Create API → Futures). Save, then click 🔌 Test to verify connectivity.

Testnet uses testnet.binancefuture.com — paper trading with play money. Live uses fapi.binance.com — real funds. A disclaimer must be accepted and a USDC amount must be entered before live trading is enabled.

The Bot tab scans setups, grades them (A-F), and automatically enters trades based on your configured risk settings. You can set max simultaneous positions, leverage, risk per trade, and minimum grade threshold.

1. Choose your exchange — ROB-BOT supports Binance, Bybit, Kraken, Aster, and NBX. Go to Settings → Exchange Keys, expand your exchange, and enter API key + secret.

2. Enable Live mode — Toggle "Testnet" off. The bot will warn you that real funds are at risk. You must accept the disclaimer and enter your available USDC/USDT balance.

3. Set minimum grade to C — In bot settings, set min_grade to C or higher. This prevents low-quality setups from triggering with real money.

4. Lower R/R for reversals — For reversal setups (especially SHORT reversals), set min_rr to 1.0–1.5 or enable R/R Auto mode. Reversals naturally have tighter R/R but higher win rate on A+ grades.

5. Enable Watchdog Override — Turn this on to let A+ reversal setups bypass normal grade/R/R restrictions when the Watchdog signals a high-confidence reversal.

6. Start with paper first — Run 48 hours in paper mode to confirm the bot's decisions match your risk tolerance before switching to live.

Supported exchanges for live trading: Binance Futures, Bybit Perpetual, Kraken Futures, Aster DEX, NBX Spot.

R/R Auto calculates the minimum acceptable Risk/Reward per pair automatically instead of using a single fixed value.

How it works:

• BTC / ETH → min R/R = 1.2 (large caps move less, tight stops work)
• Mid-cap alts (SOL, ADA, XRP, etc.) → min R/R = 1.5
• Memecoins (PEPE, DOGE, SHIB, etc.) → min R/R = 3.0 (manipulation risk)
• Unknown pairs → min R/R = 1.5 (safe default)

This means the bot adapts to what each pair can realistically offer instead of rejecting good BTC setups because they don't meet an altcoin R/R threshold.

Watchdog Override allows A+ and S-grade reversal setups to bypass normal bot restrictions when the Watchdog detects a high-confidence reversal signal.

When active:

• A+ reversal SHORTs can trade even if your trade direction is LONG-only
• R/R minimum drops to 1:1 for A+/S reversals (normally 1.5+)
• Grade floor is ignored for reversal scalp slots with StochRSI confirmation

Use this to catch sharp reversals the normal filter would miss. Only applies to A+ and S grades — lower grades still respect normal rules.

Tiers determine feature access (e.g. auto-trader, advanced modes). Check the Add-Ons tab for available upgrades and your current tier badge in the top bar.

Check that: (1) the API key has Futures permissions enabled in Binance, (2) IP restriction allows your server IP, (3) the key/secret are copied correctly with no extra spaces. Use the 🔌 Test button — it will show the actual API error message.

Contact support through the platform where you purchased access. For urgent issues, check the dashboard watchdog panel for system health status.
