In this step‑by‑step guide, you’ll learn how to build your first trading robot—no coding required—and how to validate its performance before deploying it in live markets. Along the way, we’ll highlight key features like multi‑market integration, scheduling, and 24/7 support, ensuring you get the most out of your AutoTrade Pro subscription.
1. Prepare Your Environment
Before you can record or execute any trading robot, you’ll need:
- An AutoTrade account: Follow this tutorial to get your credentials and access.
- The AutoTrade executable: Download the installer from the Download page and run it.
2. Login to AutoTrade
- Launch the AutoTrade application on your desktop.
- Enter your registered email and password, then click Login.
- Upon successful authentication, you’ll land on the default Robots Dashboard.
3. Navigate to the Robots Dashboard
The Robots Dashboard is your command center for managing all automations.
4. Create a New Robot
- Click the + Add button in the top‑right corner of the dashboard.
- Give your robot a name (e.g., “Breakout Strategy v1”).
Pro Tip: Use descriptive robot names that include keywords like “mean reversion” or “scalping bot” to improve discoverability in your internal logs and documentation.
5. Record Your Trading Actions
AutoTrade’s built‑in recorder captures your exact mouse clicks and delays:
- Hit Record—AutoTrade enters recording mode.
- Execute the buy or sell actions on your broker’s UI as you normally would.
- AutoTrade logs every click and pause.
Coming Soon: Keyboard macros, scroll events, and drag‑and‑drop support, later fine‑tune.
6. Test Your Automation
Once recording is complete:
- Click the Play button next to your robot.
- Watch AutoTrade replay your recorded sequence.
- Tweak any misfires or timing issues, then re‑record or adjust delay settings as needed.
