Creating a CEX Signal Bot

A CEX Signal Bot allows users to automatically execute trades on a centralized exchange by listening to a specific webhook (or signal email address). When a valid signal payload is received, the bot triggers a trade using the connected API.

🛠️ Bot Setup Fields

Here’s a breakdown of the required and optional fields when creating a CEX signal bot:

• Name (Optional): You can give your bot a custom name. If left empty, the bot will automatically be named after the selected trading symbol (e.g., "BTCUSDT").

• Webhook: Select an existing webhook that the bot should listen to. This webhook will receive trading signals either via HTTP POST or email ([e-mail]).

• API Connection: Choose one of your previously added exchange API keys. This determines which centralized exchange the bot will execute trades on.

• Symbol: Enter the trading symbol (e.g., BTCUSDT). Make sure the symbol format matches the one used by the selected exchange (e.g., some use BTC_USDT while others use BTCUSDT).

• Pair Base / Pair Quote: These fields auto-fill based on the symbol. For example, BTCUSDT will have:

  • Base: BTC

  • Quote: USDT

• Amount: Set the amount for each trade:

  • You can choose the amount in the quote currency (e.g., USDT) or switch to the base currency (e.g., BTC).

  • The amount must be equal to or greater than the minimum notional value required by the exchange for that trading pair.

⚠️ Important: If the amount is too small, the exchange may reject the order. Always verify the trading rules of your selected pair on the exchange.

✅ After Creation

Once the bot is created, it will continuously monitor the selected webhook. When a valid signal payload is received, the bot will:

1. Validate the payload (including any required key).

2. Place the trade on the selected exchange using the parameters in the payload.

3. Follow any optional parameters like stop-loss, take-profit, dilution, etc.
