Or you can set a permanent attribute on the MoonBot.exe file to run it as an administrator. To do this, select the MoonBot.exe, right-click on it, select Properties - Compatibility - check the "Run this program as аdministrator" box - Apply - OK. In this case you can now run the bot by simply double- clicking on the MoonBot.exe file and it will run in Administrator mode automatically.
Running the MoonBot terminal in administrator mode allows it to take priority over the main processes on the computer, as well as improving clock synchronisation and accuracy in the MoonBot to prevent the effect of the main price line and tick-trading on the chart being stratified. Clock accuracy is considered normal if it is in the plus or minus 50 ms range. If you see a red "Clock accuracy Bad" message in the bottom left corner of the MoonBot main window, you should take the necessary steps to correct this situation (restart your computer, router, check your Internet connection, check your time sync and time zone, and then restart MoonBot in Administrator mode).

The expansion pack for Autotrading is activated in the "Moon Credits" window for internal MoonBot credits.
Without activation, the features in this package operate only in Emulator mode, enabled through the Menu on the MoonBot main terminal window.
To open the "Moon Credits" window, click on the PRO Version inscription in the lower right corner of the main Moonbot window or on the "Moon Credits" inscription on the "Settings - Unlock" tab.

The data folder in this zip must be copied into the folder of the MoonBot terminal with replacement.
Attention! This operation should be done with the terminal turned off and it will completely replace all the strategies that were previously in it!
If you already had your filled strategies, make a backup of the data folder before copying.
You can select the types of strategies you want and adjust them to your trading ideas, with numerous parameters in the strategies that can be changed with varying degrees of precision and in varying ranges.
The MoonBot itself does not check the "adequacy" of the parameters and will execute a strategy according to the settings you have specified, so please read the descriptions of the strategies and their parameters carefully and only activate strategies if you are sure about what you are doing.
You can always pre-test strategies in the "Emulation mode", in order to verify the basic settings (detects, filter settings, location of Buy and Sell orders, EMA and trigger settings, stops, trailing stops and other settings), but these will not be as accurate as real account strategies, as the emulator will not account for pings and lags, as well as the fill rate and the real drawdown of orders. That is why a strategy that has been working in the "Emulation mode" for a long time and showing positive results on a real account with a working order can work with zero profit as well as with a negative one.
We recommend you to use the real trading mode with minimal order to test strategies on a long distance with real trades.
If you are satisfied with the strategy's performance, you can then gradually increase the order size and monitor the reports.
Information on strategies and their parameters can be found on our website: https://moon-bot.com/ru/manual/strategies/
Go to Settings - Advanced - System, activate the Extended Debug Mode (check the Extended Debug Mode box), then open any chart and a few lines will appear on the top left with all the data for that coin and look at the actual strategy values - this is the only way to see what is really happening. No one can tell you more just by looking at the screenshot - it's a matter of mathematics and actual values.

API Key is a public key, which is used to register your MoonBot terminal.
API Secret is a private key that is used to sign orders.
The first time you start the MoonBot terminal, you need to enter the API Key and API Secret keys in the corresponding fields on the Settings-Login tab.
API keys are stored on your computer locally in the root folder of the MoonBot terminal in encrypted form in the file BotConfig.bcfg, which is automatically created by the terminal.
The API Secret private key is not transmitted to the Internet!
For additional protection of your API keys, you can set a password in the MoonBot terminal, and this password will be asked each time the program is launched.
The password is also used only locally on your computer.
on the website of the exchange on which you are trading.
When trading futures, there is another important circumstance: 2 MoonBot terminals operating independently on the same coin may cumulatively exceed the position limit, resulting in an inability to place a close order.
If you do run several bots on 1 account (at your own risk), be sure to use different size orders on them. When working with the same orders the probability of failure and loss of an order is much higher!
management, you can also install Parallels on a Mac.
This is mainly due to several reasons, here are some of them:
1) Problems with your hardware (computer, router).
2) At this time, your computer could be in hibernation mode and not receive data on trades.
3) Problems with your ISP and internet.
4) Problems and lags on the exchange.
reasons.
If you are trading on a dedicated server (VDS) there is not much to gain by using the Moon Streamer, the Moon Streamer is mainly useful if you are trading on your local computer.
1) Reboot your computer and MoonBot in administrator mode
2) Reboot the router and check the stability of the Internet connection. If possible, do not use Wi-Fi, but use wired internet.
3) Disable the computer sleep mode, when the charts do not receive data from the exchange
4) Use modules "Load Charts" (on the Settings - User Interface tab, check Charts from MoonServer or update them periodically manually as breaks occur, using in this case on Menu tab select "Reload Charts" or on Hotkeys tab combination written in field "Reload Chart") and "Moon Streamer".
5) If this is a temporary lag exchange or provider, then you need to contact their technical support or wait for the situation to stabilize.
If it is something completely abnormal, you should download a new MoonBot from the site and check the situation on it under the same conditions.
If the problem disappears, you can then transfer all the old files with settings and data from the old bot to the new one, and then check again the disappearance of cross trades.

Then make a copy of the MoonBot terminal folder and delete the entire logs folder from it, it can weigh a lot and moving the copy to another server can take a long time.
To make the MoonBot folder even lighter, you can delete files with charts like: "BTC-MarketData.zip", then compress the folder with the bot: right-click on the folder, select "Send" -> "Compressed ZIP folder" in the menu, then move this ZIP folder to a new server and uncompress it into a normal folder.
You can then run MoonBot.exe in administrator mode on the new server.
The first method:
- Close both MoonBot terminals.
- Open the data folders of both terminals.
- Copy the data / Binance Futures-USDT-strat.txt strategy file from the USDT futures terminal, paste it into the USDT spot terminal folder and rename it to Binance-USDT-strat.txt.
- Run the MoonBot spot USDT terminal in administrator mode, click on the Strategies button and make sure the copied strategies are present in the strategies window.
The second method:
- Without closing both MoonBot terminals, select the strategies or strategy folders you want in the USDT futures terminal by holding down CTRL and clicking on them one by one or by holding down SHIFT and clicking from first to last.
- Then press CTRL+C and copy all selections to the clipboard.
- Then, in the spot USDT terminal, click on the Root folder, press CTRL+V and paste the contents from the buffer.

Every trader develops the strategies according to his trading style and risk management.
Each of these strategies when set up correctly (filters, detects and other parameters) can improve trading and make profit.
One of the oldest and safest strategies is MoonShot, which places limit orders in the green box, follows the price at a certain distance and triggers a sharp price break, as well as other popular strategies: Drops, Pump and Spread.
The statistics of popular strategies can be found on our website: https://stat.moon-bot.com/ (Strategy Ratings tab).
- MoonBot1 for BTC pair
- MoonBot2 for USDT pair
- MoonBot3 for BNB pair
- MoonBot4 for the BUSD pair
This is done so that each of bots will monitor its market and open charts of the most volatile coins or identify sharp shoots or strong spills. As soon as such movements start, you can act according to the situation, connect auto-strategies or trade manually.
For convenience, the detections of each bot can be redirected to separate windows (charts), in which they will stay for a given time and you can monitor them in a more convenient format.
You can read more about the functionality of the monitoring windows on this page: https://moon-bot.com/en/charts-in-separate-windows/
Yes, the MoonBot terminal has tools for trust management of other users' accounts.
In MoonBot, this can be done by controlling signals via Telegram (with a slight delay of 1-2 seconds) or via UPD (faster transfer of commands).
How it works: The MoonBot terminal can automatically generate commands corresponding to basic trading actions: place, reorder, sell, cancel an order. The commands are either sent to your personal channel in a special form or via UPD protocol and these signals can be read by other terminals. Thus, your terminal can be the master and the terminals of other users you have invited to the trust management can be slaves and they will repeat your actions.
The function of receiving commands is only available in the PRO version!
Please note that exact repetition is not possible due to the speed of the commands and the queue in the trading stack!
For more information on setting up trust-management via telegram, see this page: https://moon-bot.com/en/75-trust-management/
For more information on setting up UPD trust management, see this page: https://moon-bot.com/en/87-trust-management-udp/

If you cancel an market stop on the MoonBot terminal chart, then the coin position will be cancelled and the unsold coins will remain on your balance.
Note that in order to be able to use a market stop, you should also set the slider to the far right on the Settings-Advanced-System tab to "Log level: 5".
Can I use the “+” symbol in my mailbox name when registering sub-accounts in the MoonBot terminal?
Is order and position control functionality available on the Free version of the MoonBot terminal?
The function of tracking hovering positions does not work for Bittrex exchange, as there is no such functionality in the API of Bittrex exchange and therefore it is impossible to set a tracking bot for this exchange. Attention! The Bittrex exchange has ceased trading activity since 04.12.2023 due to its bankruptcy, so its support in the MoonBot terminal is no longer available.

Detailed instructions for connecting the Bybit exchange are published on this page: https://moon-bot.com/en/connect-bybit/.
Pay attention to the peculiarities of working with the Bybit exchange.

2) You can also specify in the settings of your Bybit exchange account that deposits are immediately transferred to your trading account (Setting: Auto Transfer Deposits To Unified Trading Account).
3) When trading on Bybit exchange spot, due to the fact that the commission is deducted in coins, not in USDT or BNB, as on Binance exchange, the exchange account generates “coin dust” - small residual coins smaller than the minimum trading lot, which cannot be sold. They can only be converted into MNT token through the Bybit exchange interface.

If you do not activate the futures account and try to enter API keys into the MoonBot futures terminal, you will get the error “label”: “USER_NOT_FOUND”, “message”: “please transfer funds first to create futures account”.

4) Restart the MoonBot terminal on the sub-account in administrator mode.
5) Activate the PRO version of the MoonBot terminal for credits like a regular account (using the Activate Gate.io API Key button). Activation is done through the Moon Credits window (click on Moon Credits in the “Settings - Unlock” tab) and costs 500 Moon Credits for both the main account and each sub-account.

Pay attention to the peculiarities when working with the Gate exchange.
1) On futures available balance is updated with a delay.
2) Trading on futures on the Gate exchange (on the website) is conducted in contracts and each coin has a contract size. For example, for ETH the contract size is 0.01 ETH. In the MoonBot terminal, this logic is hidden from the user, so visually trades are counted in currency units. In other words, when trading in the MoonBot terminal you open a position for 0.01 ETH, but on the site this position is equal to 1 ETH contract.
3) On the spot, the “big” stack of 1000 levels is loaded with a strong delay (up to 1 minute), during which time only a “narrow” stack of a few dozen levels is available.
4) After the first launch of the MoonBot terminal, positions are “initialized” on futures for some time (about 2-3 minutes). During this time, you will not be able to change the leverage and maximum orders, and accordingly, the auto leverage control will not work.
5) When restarting the auto leverage control will not work for the first minutes either, but you can manually change the leverage.
6) Public liquidations do not seem to be available in the API. Therefore, the Liquidations strategy will not work in the MoonBot terminal.
7) Icebergs work on futures and spot; the visible part of the iceberg is set to the minimum lot size.
8) Due to the extremely low API limit on market requests, the initial loading of market data takes a long time. For manual trading it makes sense to uncheck “Analize coins on startup” on the “Settings - Main” tab.
9) For automated trading, the rule “1 MoonBot terminal = 1 VPS” should be strictly observed; the region of the dedicated server (VDS) for the Gate exchange is recommended: Tokyo (Japan).
10) There are no commission values on futures in API, so the report will differ from the actual profit by the value of the maker's commission.

Yes, the “Load Charts” functionality works for the MoonBot spot terminal for the Bybit exchange.
Self Trade Prevention (STP) - Self Trade Prevention is a mechanism used by exchanges to prevent users from accidentally trading against themselves. This situation, known as self-trading, occurs when a user's own orders match each other in the order book. STP is particularly important for maintaining a fair and transparent trading environment, as it helps prevent market price manipulation and ensures that trading activity accurately reflects genuine market interest.n On Binance, Self Trade Prevention (STP) prevents users' orders or their “tradeGroupId” from matching their own.n For spot trading on Binance, the SPT algorithm in the MoonBot terminal is currently as follows: it cancels a Buy order when attempting to buy from itself and cancels a Buy order when attempting to sell to itself.

If you have installed the MoonBot terminal on a dedicated server (VDS) and your ping is much higher than 10ms, it will affect the speed of interaction between the terminal and the exchange (placing, placing, closing orders, etc.). To reduce ping try to change DNS in the network connection settings with server restart and check which setting will give the best effect:
1.1.1.1
1.0.0.1
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
8.8.8.8
1.1.1.1
Also try changing the connection methods on the Settings - Advanced - Engine settings tab.
MoonBot currently supports 4 exchanges Binance, HTX, Bybit, and Gate. If you plan to host MoonBot terminals on dedicated servers (VDS) to reduce ping and increase the speed of communication with the exchange, you should place the servers in the following locations:
For Binance exchange: Tokyo (Japan).
For HTX exchange: Tokyo (Japan).
For Bybit exchange: Singapore.
For the Gate exchange: Tokyo (Japan).
If a Sell order exceeds the exchange's maximum order limit when trading on the MoonBot spot terminal for the HTX exchange, an automatic split will occur.
