Introducing Bitlot Academy
· 1 min read · Bitlot Team
Welcome to Bitlot Academy. It's where we explain how Bitlot works and how to use it well, in plain English and without the hype.
Trading automation is only as good as the understanding behind it. A tool that follows rules around the clock is useful when you know what the rules do and where they stop. The Academy is our place to explain both.
What you'll find here
The Academy is organised into five topics:
- Getting started: what Bitlot is, how the trade-only key model keeps your funds on your exchange, and how fuel is charged.
- Strategies: how Auto Trader, copy trading and the smart trading tools work, and how to configure them.
- Exchanges: step-by-step guides to creating a trade-only, IP-restricted API key on Binance, OKX, Bybit and Bitget.
- Risk management: leverage, liquidation, position sizing and stop-losses.
- Product updates: what's new in Bitlot.
How we write
Every guide follows the same principles:
- Plain explanations. We define terms the first time we use them.
- No performance promises. We explain how tools work, not what they will earn. Markets move in ways no tool can predict.
- Risk where it belongs. Leverage and automation can lose money quickly. We say so wherever it matters.
- Accurate and current. When a feature or an exchange's settings change, we update the guide and its date.
Where to begin
If you're new, start with What is Bitlot? and How fuel works, then follow the API key guide for your exchange. If you already trade with leverage, Leverage and liquidation, explained is worth a read before you automate anything.
