The full path from signup to automated trading. PAPER mode is on from day one. Real-money LIVE isn't enabled yet — it opens later, after passing the 14 risk gates. Control via the dashboard, Telegram, or both.
Email + password. You land on the dashboard immediately on the FREE plan — 1 PAPER bot on BTC/USDT, no card required. Upgrade when you want more bots, more pairs, advanced strategies, or LIVE eligibility: Starter $19/mo, Pro $49/mo, or Teams $129/mo. Pay by card via LemonSqueezy.
From the dashboard hit "Connect Telegram" → a deep-link opens our
bot → you send /start <token> → done. This is
required for (a) the control plane (managing bots via TG commands),
and (b) dual-channel defence on LIVE (without a linked TG you cannot
start LIVE — it's one of the 14 gates).
After linking, these commands are available:
/start/status/profiles/start_profile/pause/resume/stop/keys/billing/identity/helpOn the exchange you pick in the dashboard, create an API key. Important: keep spot trading only, disable withdraw and futures (unless you need them). You can configure an IP whitelist but it's not required — keys are stored encrypted, withdrawal is blocked at the exchange side.
In Quantor paste the key + secret → hit Save → hit Verify. Verify actually calls the exchange's API to confirm the key works. If the key is invalid you see it instantly with a structured error code from the exchange.
What sits in our database: only the encrypted blob + last4 + a
verified=true flag. Decryption happens only at order
execution time, in process memory, never written to logs.
Pick a strategy (EMA for a first run — the simplest), pick a symbol (BTCUSDT by default — it's on the symbol allowlist), interval (1m), notional ($25 for a test). Hit Start. The bot immediately starts simulating trades on the real market price, but does not send real orders to the exchange. Every "trade" appears in the dashboard and arrives in your Telegram as notifications.
PAPER passes only 2 gates: symbol allowlist + plan-allows-paper. No real money. Run it as many days / strategies / variants as you want. We recommend at least 7 days of PAPER before upgrading.
🛡 Per-bot stop-loss + take-profit. Every bot has its
own SL and TP %. Leave the fields empty to use the global defaults
(SL 2%, TP 3%) or override per-bot in the form. The engine enforces
them at position level on every tick — if price crosses your stop,
the bot force-closes the trade with an SL hit audit
line; same for TP. Works identically in PAPER and LIVE, so you
validate the exit behaviour on simulated capital before risking
real money.
If you're satisfied with the PAPER results, you can flip LIVE on. This requires:

If something doesn't line up, the API returns an exact
risk_code in the JSON response — for example:

TELEGRAM_NOT_LINKED, EXCHANGE_KEYS_NOT_VERIFIED,

not just "it didn't work".
