Introduction

Our strategies run on AstraBit, and that is the platform that actually places orders on your exchange.

AstraBit is a trading automation platform. You connect your exchange account with an API key, you give a bot a set of rules, and the bot does the trading for you. Ten exchanges are supported, seven regular ones and three on-chain, and you run all of them from one dashboard instead of keeping five tabs open.

The part that matters for us: this is where a Candle Effect strategy actually executes. You build and test the strategy on your own TradingView chart with Strategy Lab, it fires a single alert the moment your setup appears, and AstraBit receives that alert and places the order on the exchange you chose.

Most trading that goes wrong is not a strategy problem, it is an attention problem. There are only so many charts you can watch, on so many exchanges, for so many hours, and the setup you miss is usually the one you were asleep for. Automation keeps the plan running when you cannot sit in front of it.

That covers four fairly different situations.

You already have a strategy

Send it over as a TradingView webhook, or as code in any language. The bot places the orders and you keep the logic. If you would rather build one from scratch, that is exactly what Strategy Lab is for.

You trade in more than one place

Connect every exchange you use and work from one screen, instead of five logins and five sets of open positions to reconcile in your head.

You are away

Set the entry, the exit and the risk rules once. They keep getting followed while you are at work, asleep, or away from the desk in a nice vacation.

You are still learning

Start with a vetted strategy, or follow an existing bot, while you work out your own approach. Position sizing and risk limits are still yours to set.

Your funds stay yours

This is the part people worry about first, so it goes near the top rather than in the small print at the bottom.

Nothing is held for you

AstraBit never takes custody of your money. Your coins stay in your own exchange account the whole time, and they stay there whether a bot is running or not.

Trade permission only

The connection is an API key scoped to trading, so a bot can place and manage orders and nothing else. You can revoke that key from your exchange at any moment and the connection stops.

Identity check required

You do have to verify who you are before you can use the platform. AstraBit is a US regulated firm and has to follow KYC and anti money laundering rules, so that step is not optional or skippable.

Four ways to run a bot

Every bot follows rules that you either write or choose. Where those rules come from is the only thing that separates these four.

Your own strategy

Bring something you already built, as a TradingView webhook or as code in whatever language you prefer. AstraBit does not care which, it only cares about the signal. Your strategy decides when to trade, the bot does the placing. Our own strategies arrive here as a single Strategy Lab alert.

A marketplace strategy

Pick one of our strategies on the marketplace and hand it to a bot. The entries and exits are already written, so your job is allocation and risk limits rather than logic. Each listing shows recent performance and the main risk factors. Past results are not a promise about future ones.

Copy trading

Run one bot as the master and attach as many followers as you like. When the master trades, every follower takes the same trade, and they do not have to sit on the same exchange. Right now this mirrors your own trading, there is no independent strategist program yet.

Codex bots

These do not trade at all. A Codex bot watches an exchange account and the pairs you choose, then feeds the results into the portfolio analysis. It is for when your trading is scattered across several venues and you want one honest view of all of it.

What you see once it is running

One dashboard

Every active bot in a single list with its positions and its status. Start it, pause it, change its parameters or delete it from the same screen, no matter which exchange it is trading on.

Positions and P&L

Open positions, realised and unrealised profit and loss, and how your capital is spread across exchanges and strategies. That matters most when several bots are trading the same coin in different places and your real exposure has quietly stopped being obvious.

A P&L calculator

A strategy's past numbers, shown before you commit anything, so you are sizing a position against a track record instead of against a guess.

Tiers and what they cost

Bot tiers run from Basic up to Advanced, and each step gives you more control over entries, exits and risk. Basic covers the essentials, stop loss, take profit and DCA. Higher tiers add leverage, trailing stops, hedging and multi level exits.

Billing is per trading day rather than a monthly subscription. That means you can run a cheap tier for one strategy and an expensive one for another, and you are not locked into a single plan to do it.

Before you connect anything

Automation takes away the part where you have to be at the screen. It does not take away risk. A bot follows its rules exactly, including all the way into a losing streak, which means the position sizing and the risk limits you set at the start are doing more work than the strategy is.

So start small enough that a bad run is boring. Nothing here is guaranteed, and losing a little while you work out whether something suits you is a much better outcome than losing a lot in one go. Size up later, once it has run long enough that you are confident rather than hopeful, and never with money you cannot afford to lose.
