Gunbot Unlimited

Gunbot Unlimited uses Gunbot Live as the main interface for setting up, testing, monitoring, and running Gunbot. Use live.gunbot.com for the hosted workspace, or run the same interface locally from the main Gunbot download.

New to Gunbot Unlimited?​

For crypto-exchange trading, start with the Gunbot Unlimited quickstart. It takes you through the initial setup:

  1. download and start Gunbot
  2. set the local Gunbot password
  3. connect the bot to Gunbot Live
  4. register the Unlimited license
  5. register the first exchange API key
  6. add the exchange secret and confirm the connection

After that, continue with Choose a strategy and Build your first trading setup.

Trading with Gunbot Live​

Use Gunbot strategies on a desktop trading platform​

Gunbot Unlimited also includes automated strategy integrations for MetaTrader 4/5 and NinjaTrader 8. Use the current Gunbot installation and the platform’s bridge; these workflows connect a desktop terminal rather than an exchange API key. MetaTrader strategy logic runs in Gunbot, while NinjaTrader strategy instances run inside NinjaTrader on Windows.

Start with the relevant guide to connect a demo/Sim101 account, configure a strategy and verify its activity. Broker, platform and market-data access remain separate.

Testing changes​

Backtesting runs Gunbot spot and futures strategies against historical market data, including custom JavaScript strategies. Start there when you want to learn a strategy or compare settings.

Simulator mode forward-tests a complete spot Gunbot instance against current market data with simulated balances and execution. Keep a simulator instance available when you want to see how a setup behaves over real hours and days.

Risk Management adds balance and drawdown rules to selected pairs.

Automation and custom strategies​

AutoConfig can automate recurring configuration changes, such as adding markets that pass your filters or changing a strategy setting when an indicator reaches a threshold.

Custom strategies and Code Editor covers the development workflow for your own JavaScript trading logic, with links to the custom-strategy API and code examples.

Settings and troubleshooting​

Settings and security covers exchange credentials, Gunbot connections, interface settings, privacy, backups, and account security.

If a bot or pair behaves differently from what you expect, start with Troubleshoot Gunbot Live.
