Streamlined Setup

How Gunbot Works

Follow these five steps to deploy Gunbot as your personal crypto trading assistant.

Native execution: Windows, Linux, and Mac

Step 1

Launch Your Bot in Minutes

Begin by downloading Gunbot to your desktop or VPS. The core software runs natively on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Extract the archive and run the executable immediately; no complex installers required. Access your dashboard via the local browser interface.
Link Gunbot via Exchange API

Step 2

Connect Your Exchange API

Link Gunbot to your exchange account by entering your API key and secret. Your API credentials remain stored locally on your machine. Gunbot only requires permissions to read market data and execute trades, withdrawal access is never needed.
Configure pairs manually or via filters

Step 3

Select Trading Pairs

Define which assets Gunbot should trade and assign a strategy to each pair. You can manually select tickers or use filter rules like "Top 10 volume" to automate pair selection. Gunbot supports all trading pairs listed on your connected exchange, from major caps like BTC-ETH to lower-cap altcoins.
Set trading parameters

Step 4

Configure Your Strategy

Customize your trading parameters to fit your goals. Set precise trading limits to control Gunbot's capital allocation per trade.

Utilize established methods like Grid trading, StepGain, or technical indicators like Bollinger Bands. You can also configure Gunbot to manage existing holdings using specific sell-side strategies.

Step 5

Run and Monitor Your Strategies

Let Gunbot execute your trading rules automatically while you focus on analysis. The built-in dashboard tracks open positions and strategy performance in real-time.

Gunbot handles the execution, allowing you to trade 24/7 without constant screen monitoring. Our support team is available if you need help with configuration.

Developers: JSON and JavaScript Control

Need more granular control? Configure Gunbot directly via a JSON config file or write custom logic using JavaScript. Changes applied in code take effect immediately. See examples of how to configure Gunbot programmatically.
