How does Gunbot Unlimited connect to my exchange?

Gunbot Unlimited combines the hosted workspace shown in the overview with self-hosted trading cores. API secrets and order execution stay on the cores you run.

Connect an exchange →
Can I use the same settings on every exchange?

Review each exchange’s supported markets, minimum order sizes and API requirements. Strategy settings should fit the selected pair and market; backtesting and past results do not guarantee live results.
