‍

Introduction to Deriv Bot

Deriv Bot is designed for ease of use, providing an intuitive interface for traders to automate their trading strategies without the need for programming skills.
‍

Accessing Deriv Bot

To get started with Deriv Bot:

1. Log into your account on Deriv’s Trader’s Hub.
   ‍
2. Select “Deriv Bot” from the available options to access the Bot Dashboard.

Once in, you will encounter several options for starting your trading journey.
‍

Deriv Bot Dashboard Features

Upon entering the Deriv Bot Dashboard, you will see four primary options:

• Load Existing Strategies: Import strategies from “My Computer” or “Google Drive.”
  ‍
• Quick Strategy: The fastest way to get a trading bot up and running using predefined strategy templates.
  ‍
• Bot Builder: For advanced users, this allows for creating custom strategies from scratch.
  ‍

Quick Strategy

The Quick Strategy feature breaks down each trading bot into two main components:

1. Strategy Template: This determines how your bot will adjust the stake amount after each trade based on profitability.
   
   • Examples of Strategy Templates include:
     
     • Martingale: Doubles the stake after a loss to recoup expenses.
       ‍
     • D’Alembert: Adjusts the stake according to a set unit, increasing it after a loss and decreasing it after a win.
       ‍
     • Oscar’s Grind: Focuses on capturing small and consistent profits.
       ‍
     • Reverse Martingale: Increases the stake after a win and decreases it after a loss to maximize winning streaks.
       ‍
     • 1-3-2-6: Follows a fixed staking pattern after consecutive wins.
2. Trade Parameters: These parameters specify the asset to be traded, trade type, purchase conditions, initial stake, duration, profit threshold, and loss threshold.

Setting Up Your Strategy

After selecting your strategy template and filling in the required trade parameters, simply click “Run” to launch your bot. Make sure to practice any strategy on a demo account first to refine your approach and build confidence.
‍

Using the Bot Builder

For those interested in customizing their strategies further, the Bot Builder offers advanced features:

• Workspace (Canvas): This is where you drag and drop blocks to create specific functions for your bot.
  ‍
• Blocks Menu: Categorized into trade parameters, purchase conditions, sell conditions, and restart trading conditions. Each block has specific instructions that guide how the bot operates.
  ‍

Examples of Block Functions

1. Trade Parameters: Define what market to trade, contract types, and stake amounts.
   ‍
2. Purchase Conditions: Specify when the bot should enter trades based on your criteria.
   ‍
3. Sell Conditions: Instruct how the bot should behave while the trade is active.
   ‍
4. Restart Trading Conditions: Set up what happens after the end of a contract before starting a new one.
   ‍

With Deriv Bot, you have a powerful tool at your fingertips for creating automated trading strategies that suit your trading style and preferences. By utilizing the Quick Strategy and the Bot Builder, you can establish a systematic approach to trading within the Deriv platform.
