🤖 How To Use AI Trading Bot

✅ 1. Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:

• An OKX account — Sign up here
• Funds deposited on OKX — minimum $20 USDT (recommended $50-100)
• A modern web browser — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari
• Both tabs open — index.php (signals) + dashboard.php (trades)
• Stable internet connection — for uninterrupted trading

🔑 2. Getting OKX API Keys

Step 2.1 — Create API Key on OKX

1. Log in to your OKX account
2. Click your profile icon (top right) → API
3. Click "Create V5 API Key"
4. Give your key a name (e.g., "AI Trading Bot")
5. Set the following permissions:

Permission	Required?	Purpose
Read	Required	Read account balance
Trade	Required	Place buy/sell orders
Withdraw	NOT needed	⚠️ Never enable for a bot

Step 2.2 — Set Passphrase

OKX requires a Passphrase in addition to API Key and Secret Key. This is a password you create yourself.

Rules:

• 8-32 characters
• At least 1 lowercase letter (a-z)
• At least 1 uppercase letter (A-Z)
• At least 1 number
• At least 1 special character (! @ # $ %)

Step 2.3 — Add Trusted IP (Recommended)

Add your server's IP address to the whitelist. This prevents anyone else from using your API key even if it leaks.

Step 2.4 — Copy Your Keys

After creating, you'll see three values:

• API Key — a UUID like c37c9427-c...
• Secret Key — a long alphanumeric string
• Passphrase — the one you just created

🔌 3. Connecting the Bot

You should now see:

⚙️ 4. Configuring Trading Settings

🎯 Take Profit %

Auto-sell when profit reaches this percentage net after fees. Lower = more trades, quicker wins. Higher = fewer trades, bigger gains.

Recommended: 3.0% — accounts for OKX's 0.20% round-trip fee.

🛑 Stop Loss %

Auto-sell when loss reaches this percentage net after fees. Protects capital from large drawdowns.

• No Stop Loss — position stays open until TP or max hold time
• -1.0% — recommended (accounts for fees + volatility)
• -1.5% — wider, allows more market fluctuation

💰 Trade Size (USD)

How much USD to spend on each trade.

• Minimum $5 — OKX has no strict minimum, but $5+ is practical
• Recommended $7-10 — balance between risk and reward
• $20+ — for larger accounts (less affected by fees)

📊 Max Trades

Maximum number of positions open at the same time.

• Recommended: 6 — good diversification
• Total capital needed: Trade Size × Max Trades
• Example: $7 × 6 = $42 minimum balance

🎯 Threshold %

Minimum price movement to trigger a trade signal.

• 0.05% — more signals, more trades
• 0.1% — recommended balance
• 0.2%+ — fewer but stronger signals

⏱️ Max Hold (min)

Auto-close a position if TP/SL is not hit within this time. Prevents capital from getting stuck.

Recommended: 240 min (4 hours)

Save Your Settings

Click the Save settings button at the bottom of the Trading Settings panel.

🚀 5. Starting the Bot

1. Open index.php in a new tab
2. Wait for the AI to load (30-60 seconds)
3. Return to dashboard.php
4. Select a symbol from the dropdown in the navbar
5. Click the green Start button

You should see:

• Bot Status changes to Active (green with pulsing dot)
• Start button becomes Stop button
• Open Positions counter begins tracking

📊 6. Monitoring Your Trades

Top Stats Bar

Stat	Meaning
Bot Status	Active (running) or Stopped
Current Price	Live price of selected symbol
Open Positions	Number of active trades
24h PnL	Profit/loss in last 24 hours
Total PnL	Cumulative profit/loss

Open Positions

Each card shows:

• Symbol and direction — BUY or SELL with color coding
• Live PnL — % and USD profit/loss
• Entry / Current / TP / SL prices
• Progress bar — visual to TP or SL
• Time held — how long position has been open

Trading History

Shows closed positions with:

• Symbol and direction
• Win/Loss badge
• Close time
• Final PnL %

🧠 7. Understanding the Interface

Signal Flow

1. index.php runs the LSTM neural network
2. AI generates a strong buy signal (only BUY signals — SELL is handled by auto-sell)
3. Signal is saved to the database
4. dashboard.php reads the signal
5. Trade is executed via OKX API
6. Position appears in Open Positions
7. Auto-sell monitors TP/SL every 15 seconds
8. When closed, moves to Trading History

Bot Behavior

• Checks for new signals every 2 seconds
• Updates position status every 5 seconds
• Monitors TP/SL every 15 seconds
• Refreshes balance every 60 seconds

🔧 8. Troubleshooting

❌ "OKX API: Not configured"

Fix: Add your API keys via the ⚙️ icon in the OKX API panel. All three fields required: API Key, Secret Key, Passphrase.

❌ "50119 — API key doesn't exist"

Fix: Your server is trying to reach the wrong OKX domain. For EEA (Europe), it must use eea.okx.com, not www.okx.com. Contact support if this persists.

❌ "50113 — Invalid sign"

Fix: Your Secret Key or Passphrase is wrong. Re-paste both from OKX. Ensure there are no extra spaces.

❌ "50111 — Invalid API key"

Fix: The API Key is wrong. Re-copy it from OKX.

❌ "51008 — Insufficient balance"

Fix: Deposit more USDT on OKX. Minimum required = Trade Size + fees.

❌ "51000 — Parameter error"

Fix: Order parameters are wrong. Check that the symbol exists on OKX and trade size is valid.

❌ Bot doesn't open trades

Check:

• Is index.php open in another tab?
• Are signals being generated? (check Open Positions count)
• Is the bot running? (Bot Status = Active)
• Do you have enough USDT balance?
• Is the selected symbol the same in both tabs?

❌ Trades not closing

Check:

• Is dashboard.php still open?
• Is TP or SL actually reached net after 0.20% fees?
• Is Max Hold time expired?

💎 9. Best Practices

• Start small — begin with $20-50 to test
• Use Stop Loss — always set -1.0% or wider (to cover fees)
• Keep both tabs open — bot stops otherwise
• Monitor daily — check that trades are executing
• Review performance — adjust settings based on results
• Don't chase losses — if bot is losing, stop and reassess
• Use Trusted IP — on OKX API for security
• Backup your API keys — store securely offline

⚠️ 10. Important Risks

Bot Limitations

• Only runs when tabs are open — if browser closes, bot stops
• No 24/7 operation — no server-side automation (yet)
• Internet dependent — connection loss pauses the bot
• AI is not perfect — predictions can be wrong

Market Risks

• Volatility — crypto prices can swing dramatically
• Slippage — actual fill price may differ from expected
• Fees — OKX charges 0.10% per side = 0.20% per trade (buy + sell)
• Liquidity — some pairs may have thin order books

AI-Specific Risks

• Overfitting — model may perform well on past data but poorly on new
• Regime changes — model trained on bull market may fail in bear market
• Black swan events — extreme events not in training data
