Moonbot Main Screen

Below the auxiliary area is the control section for placing Buy and Sell orders. Orders can be set using either smooth sliders or fixed buttons with user-defined preset values. When using the slider, it can be difficult to place orders with the exact same size, especially when moving it left or right. Therefore, Moonbot includes fixed buttons for placing Buy and Sell orders to simplify this process.

Setting Buy Order Size

To choose how Buy orders are displayed, go to Menu → Order size and select one of the options: Fixed (buttons will appear) or Floating (a slider will appear). You can also quickly toggle between these modes by double-clicking the Place buy order at:... message.

You can change the Buy order size on a fixed button by double-clicking it. In this case, a field with an editable value will appear inside the button, allowing you to change the order size and then press Enter to confirm the new value. Repeat this process for other buttons to create a convenient set of Buy order sizes. For example, you might set the first button to a small amount like 25 USDT for strategy testing, and the next ones to 100, 250, 500, 1000, 3000 USDT, or any other values based on your deposit and trading style.

Additionally, you can configure the Buy order sizes displayed on fixed buttons under Settings → Hotkeys → FixedOrderSizes, and assign hotkeys to each button. For example, F1 for the first button, F2 for the second, and so on. You can switch order sizes either by clicking the button or pressing the corresponding hotkey.

Note that Buy order sizes up to 999 are shown in full. Sizes over 1000 and up to 10,000 are displayed in a shortened format, such as "1k", without mathematical rounding. For instance, 1300 is displayed as 1.3k. Values over 10000 are shown as "10k" or more — again without rounding. So, 10400 appears as 10k, while 10600 appears as 11k.

In the FREE version, the maximum order size is limited to $40 equivalent in BTC. In the PRO version, the maximum size is only limited by the exchange’s limits.

You can view the minimum (Lot:) and maximum (Max:) Buy order sizes in the main terminal window, on the right settings panel below the Sell and Buy buttons. Once you’ve configured your preferred method for setting Buy order sizes, you can use the slider, fixed buttons, or hotkeys to select a size and either place a limit Buy order on the chart or buy the coin at market price for the selected amount.

If the setting Menu → Manual Trading → Use Main Settings is selected, a slider labeled Buy for [price before pump started] with positive or negative percentage values will appear below the buttons and slider for adjusting the Buy order size. This slider is only relevant if you are buying a coin using the Buy button to the right of the chart or through the coin search window, where you enter the coin’s name and press Enter. In this case, the Buy order will be placed according to the slider’s setting:

• At negative percentage values, the limit Buy order will be placed deeper into the Order Book BID — the more negative the value, the further from the current price

• At zero percent, the Buy order will be placed within the price spread

• At positive percentage values, the Buy order will be placed in the opposite Order Book ASK and at higher positive values, the order will be executed immediately at market price.

In all other cases, this slider setting is not used, because in manual trading, orders are placed by clicking directly in the Order Book area with the mouse.

If the setting Menu → Manual Trading → Use Manual Strategy is selected, the Buy for [price before pump started] slider is not displayed. In this case, buying is done according to the parameters of the selected manual strategy.

Sell Order Level Configuration

The sliders to the right are responsible for the Sell order selling level, i.e. what percentage of the purchase price to place a Sell order for sale. The upper slider can be adjusted from 0 to 100%. If it is set to the leftmost position Sell price: scalp mode, then the lower slider Min. price: [actual buy] +X% is connected, with the help of which you can more accurately adjust the Sell level from 0 to 2%. This configuration supports both smooth adjustment via the slider and fixed buttons. You can switch between these modes through Menu → Sell Price, by selecting either Fixed (fixed buttons) or Float (slider). If Fixed buttons are selected, you can double-click them to define your own custom set of Sell order levels.

Additionally, you can configure fixed Sell order sizes in Settings → Hotkeys → Fixed Sell Prices, and assign hotkeys to each fixed Sell button. For example: Alt+F1 for the first Sell button, Alt+F2 for the second one, and so on. You can change the Sell order level either by clicking the button or pressing the corresponding hotkey.

S9 Button

The S9 button increases the scale and the size of the Sell buttons by a factor of 10. This is useful when the chart shows a rapid price surge, and it becomes practical to place Sell orders not at 1–2–3%, but at 10–20–30%.

x9 Button

The x9 button allows you to increase the value of the chart scale buttons by 10 times up to 1000%. The terminal provides fixed scale buttons that cannot be customized, but the step size between them is sufficient for choosing a comfortable scale based on the coin’s volatility. The scale values in the spot terminal slightly differ from those in the futures terminal.

If market movement is not highly volatile, you can use smaller scales — 5%, 10%, 20%. But if you observe strong growth and the chart scale is no longer sufficient on the main screen, press x9 to switch to a larger scale.

You can also press the Auto button — in this case, the scale will adjust automatically based on the coin’s volatility over the time interval shown on the chart.

How to determine the scale on the chart? On the main chart, there is a grid divided into 10 vertical cells. One cell equals one tenth of the selected scale button’s value. For example, if the 10% scale button is selected, one cell equals 1%, which helps visually estimate how much the coin has risen or fallen. Additionally, to the right, under the horizontal crosshair line, the percentage values of the scale are displayed, allowing you to quickly measure the distance (in %) from the current price line upward or downward.

You can enable or disable the display of the scale on the crosshair ruler in Settings → Interface → Scale Tools. Also, you can measure percentage growth or decline using the Rectangle drawing tool. To do this select the Rectangle tool (icon with two parallel lines) from the Pencil (Chart Drawing) menu, hold CTRL, left-click on the chart, and while holding CTRL, drag the line up or down. The line will turn into a rectangular area, with percentage values displayed on the left side: the upper part shows price increase percentages, and the lower part shows price decrease percentages.

This tool is quite convenient and complements the other methods for working with scale and measuring price changes in coins.
