Key Concepts

Bot Instances

A Bot is a running instance of a Custom Bot template. Think of it this way:

• Custom Bot: The blueprint defines the trading logic
• Bot: The actual running instance executing trades

Creating Bots

Bots can be created in two ways:

1. Through the Platform UI: Navigate to your Custom Bots and select a bot or My Bots section and click "Deploy"
2. Using the CLI: Use the the0 bot deploy command with your configuration (see Bot Commands for details)

Bot Lifecycle

Once deployed, a Bot:

• Runs independently based on its type (scheduled or realtime)
• Executes the trading logic defined in its Custom Bot template
• Can be started, stopped

Management Features

• Logs: Access to execution logs and debugging information
• Configuration: Ability to update parameters without redeploying
