Managing Bots

Learn the different bot states and control actions available from the bot detail page.

Bot States

Stopped

Bot is created but not executing. No trades.

Running

Bot is actively evaluating and trading every 60 seconds.

Paused

Temporarily stopped. Holdings remain. Resume when ready.

Winding Down

Bot is selling all holdings gradually, then will stop. No new buys.

Control Actions

Start

Begin executing the bot's strategy. Available when stopped.

Stop

Stop the bot immediately. Holdings remain as-is (not sold).

Wind Down

Graceful shutdown. Bot stops buying and sells all positions over subsequent cycles. Wind-down sells are free (no token cost).

Emergency Stop

Immediately sells ALL holdings at market price and stops the bot. Use only in urgent situations.

Force Sell

Sell a specific instrument from the bot's holdings without stopping the bot.

Editing a Running Bot

Some settings can be changed while a bot is running ("hot-editable"):

  • Stop-loss and take-profit percentages
  • Max daily trades
  • Stale bail timer
  • AI advisor settings (enable/disable, influence, prompt)
  • Public / Private visibility
  • Auto wind-down target

Other settings (strategy, instruments, allocation) require stopping the bot first.

Bot Logs

Every bot maintains a structured log. Go to the bot detail page and scroll to the Logs section. Filter by level (info, warning, error) and browse paginated entries to debug or understand bot behavior.
