Getting started

The Moonbot terminal interface is designed so that all key controls and information are gathered in a single workspace. This allows users to quickly navigate the terminal and locate essential functions, even on first launch.

This section provides an overview of the main interface elements of Moonbot: the main screen, navigation menu, and working panels. The goal is to help you understand the overall layout of the terminal and the purpose of its core components, without diving into detailed settings or trading scenarios.

Once you become familiar with the interface, it will be easier to move on to further configuration and make use of Moonbot’s features with confidence.

Main Screen of the Terminal

The main screen of the Moonbot terminal is a unified workspace that combines all the key controls and data needed to work with the terminal. The interface is logically divided into zones, each responsible for a specific part of the trading process.

At the top of the screen is the top utility zone. It displays the terminal name, connected exchange, market type, version number and date, and the name of the current terminal instance. This data allows you to quickly confirm which exchange and market the terminal is connected to and verify the current software version.

The central part of the interface is the main control zone. It includes essential components for operating the terminal, such as trading mode controls and access to the menu and key features. This area is used to start and stop terminal operation and acts as the central hub for control.

Next to it is the auxiliary control zone, which displays account balance information retrieved via API. The balance shows the available funds that can be used for trading in the terminal.

The main screen space is occupied by the chart window. It displays price movement for the selected trading pair, visual analysis tools, and additional display parameters. This is the central working area that users interact with when analyzing the market.

At the bottom of the interface are the orders panel and logs panel.The orders panel shows information about active, pending, and completed orders, while the logs panel contains service records of terminal activity such as order placement, strategy signals, and system messages.

There is also a bottom utility bar that displays connection status, current terminal mode, and other service data.

This layout allows the user to view key information and control the terminal from a single window, without switching between different screens or sections.

For a more detailed breakdown of the main screen elements, their functions, and extended interface options, please refer to the corresponding documentation section.

Coin Table and Market Selection

In the Moonbot terminal, market selection is performed through a dedicated interface — the Coin Table. This table is used to browse available trading pairs and determine which market the terminal is currently operating on.

In this section, we will explore the purpose of the Coin Table, how it is used, and its connection to the Show Markets button, which provides access to markets in the terminal.

Coin Table

The Coin Table in Moonbot is designed to display available markets and select the trading pair the terminal will work with. It is the main interface element that allows the user to decide which market to trade on.

The Coin Table displays a list of trading pairs available on the connected exchange. Each row represents a specific market and provides key information about the pair — helpful for quick orientation and basic analysis. The table updates in real time using data retrieved from the exchange.

You can select a trading pair directly within the Coin Table. Once a market is selected, the terminal automatically switches to that pair, and all interface elements — chart, pricing data, and trading functions — begin operating in the context of the selected market.

Thus, the Coin Table is not only a tool for viewing available markets but also the primary means of selecting a trading pair, which determines the terminal’s further operation.

For a detailed explanation of the Coin Table structure, displayed data, and market selection logic, we recommend consulting the documentation.

Show Markets Button

The Show Markets button provides quick access to the list of available trading pairs in the Moonbot terminal. It is the main method for opening the Coin Table window, through which market selection is performed.

This button is located on the main screen of the terminal and acts as a bridge between the main workspace and the market selection interface. Clicking the Show Markets button opens the Coin Table, showing the full list of trading pairs available on the connected exchange.

Using the Show Markets button allows you to switch to a different market at any time and quickly reorient the terminal to work with a new trading pair. In this way, the button serves as a navigation tool that enables convenient market management without needing to access additional interface sections.

For a detailed walkthrough of how the Show Markets button works and its connection to market selection, please refer to the documentation.

Orders and Logs Windows

In the Moonbot terminal, the Orders Window and Logs Window are used to monitor trading operations and system events. These tools help you keep track of terminal activity and the current state of trading.

Orders Window

The Orders Window displays information about all orders being handled by the terminal. It allows users to monitor the status of their trading operations and see execution results.

This window shows active orders, pending (delayed) orders and completed orders. The data is updated in real time, allowing you to track which orders are currently placed, which are waiting to be filled, and which have already been executed.

Orders Window is the main tool for monitoring trading actions. It provides insight into what operations are currently being performed and how the terminal is interacting with the exchange for the selected trading pair.

In this section, the Orders Window is reviewed only as a display element, without covering detailed order parameters or actions.

For a more detailed overview of the contents of the Orders Window, the displayed order statuses, and additional available features, we recommend referring to the relevant section of the documentation.

Recommended reading:

Logs Window

The Logs Window displays system messages and events related to the terminal's operation. It shows the actions taken by the terminal and various system notifications.

You’ll find logs about launching and stopping the terminal, exchange connections, order placements and processing and technical messages and alerts. These logs are generated automatically and allow you to trace the sequence of actions performed by the terminal during operation.

The Logs Window is used to monitor the terminal’s behavior and troubleshoot unusual situations. In case of an error, the logs help identify when and why a problem occurred.

In this section, the Logs Window is introduced as a technical information tool, without covering message format or interpretation.

Using Orders and Logs Windows to Monitor Terminal Activity

The Orders and Logs Windows complement each other and provide a complete picture of how the terminal is currently operating. The Orders Window shows the results of trading activity — what orders are placed, executed, or completed. The Logs Window reflects the sequence of system events and actions performed by the terminal.

Together, they allow you to understand the terminal’s current status without digging into complex settings. The Orders Window tells you what trading operations are in progress, while the Logs Window shows how the terminal is processing commands and interacting with the exchange.

These are the primary tools for monitoring the terminal's performance and confirming that trades are executing correctly and without errors.

Next, we’ll look at Reports and Trading History in the Moonbot terminal.

Reports and Terminal Activity History

The Reports window in Moonbot is used to analyze trading results and view the terminal’s activity history. It provides a summary of trading operations and terminal actions over a specified period.

This section explains the purpose of reports, the general content they include, and their role in monitoring and analyzing the terminal's performance.

Reports Window

The Reports window is accessed via the main menu at: Menu → Reports. This window is designed to display aggregated information about the terminal's operations and trading results. It collects and presents data generated from trades and terminal activity over time.

Unlike the Orders and Logs windows, which show real-time trading status and service messages, the Reports window is used to analyze past actions. Reports are generated automatically and provide a general overview of the terminal’s performance without needing to examine each individual order or log message.

Contents of the Reports

Reports are generated automatically based on completed trading operations and record the terminal’s history in a structured format. They include details of trades and their outcomes, allowing users to get an overall picture of their trading progress and results without having to analyze individual orders or logs.

The information in the Reports window is formatted for easy viewing and reflects accumulated statistics over the terminal’s runtime. This makes the Reports window the primary tool for analyzing trading history and the overall performance of the terminal.

Purpose of Reports and Terminal History

Moonbot’s reports are used to evaluate trading results and gain insight into the terminal’s overall performance during a given period. They help assess the outcome of executed trades and track performance trends without having to reference individual orders or logs.

The terminal activity history shown in reports helps users view their actions as a whole, rather than as isolated transactions. This is especially important for evaluating trading efficiency and understanding how the terminal performed over time.

In summary, reports serve as a tool for high-level analysis and are used to summarize the terminal’s activity, monitor trading results, and inform future decisions.

For a more detailed explanation of the Reports window, available metrics, and data display formats, please refer to the documentation.
