Quickstart

This guide takes you from an empty account to your first action, in order. Each step is short and meant to be followed in one pass. Because Trader Pending works directly in your exchange account through your own API key, your funds stay in your exchange account and are never held by Trader Pending.

1. Create or sign in to an account

Start by setting up your account. Login is layered, so pick whatever suits you.

• Register or sign in. Create an account or sign in with a verified email, or with Google.
• Secure your access. Turn on two-factor authentication if you want, and review active sessions from time to time.
• Link Telegram and web. Your accounts can be linked so an action on one side stays consistent with the other.

2. Connect an exchange API key

Trader Pending executes orders through your personal API key. Create an API key on your chosen exchange, then add it to your account settings.

• Enable the right permissions. Turn on read and trade permissions. Leave the withdraw permission off. Trader Pending does not need, and must not have, access to withdraw your funds.
• Restrict by IP (optional). If your exchange supports it, add an IP whitelist to narrow where the key can be used.
• Pick the main-key slot. Set the key as your main slot so it is used as your default execution source.
• Stored encrypted. The key is stored encrypted and fully isolated from other users.

3. Choose how you access it

One system, two surfaces: Telegram for acting fast on the move, the web app for a full view such as charts, the order panel, bot configuration, and the journal. You can move between them freely. The detail and strengths of each side live on the Access: Telegram & web page.

4. Take your first actions

Once your account and exchange are connected, pick one of these starting points to match your style.

• Build a watchlist. Add the pairs you want to follow. The watchlist is saved per account and shows live prices and 24-hour change.
• Place your first manual order. Open the order panel, set your entry, stop-loss, and target, then use the position-size calculator to gauge risk before sending. The stop-loss is placed directly on the exchange side.
• Start a Grid or DCA bot. For repeating strategies, configure a Grid or DCA bot with your own parameters. Set a daily loss limit or a drawdown limit as a circuit breaker, so the bot stops automatically when the limit is reached.

A note

Crypto futures trading carries high risk, including the possible loss of some or all of your capital. Trader Pending does not promise profit and does not hold your funds. All risk limits are optional and entirely under your control.
