Getting started with automated trading can sound overwhelming—but with CryptoHero, the process is surprisingly beginner-friendly. Whether you’re brand new to crypto or already have some experience, this guide breaks down exactly what you need to get started, step-by-step.
Let’s keep it simple.
Step 1: A Crypto Exchange Account
To begin trading with CryptoHero, you’ll need an account with a supported crypto exchange. Some of the top exchanges supported include:
Binance (Spot & Futures)
Coinbase
KuCoin
OKX
Bybit
Bitget
and many more.
👉 Check out the full list of supported exchanges here.
Already have one? Great! If not, sign up with your preferred exchange and complete their identity verification process.
Step 2: Connect via API (It’s Easier Than You Think)
Once your exchange account is ready, you’ll link it to CryptoHero using API keys—a secure way for our bots to trade on your behalf without ever accessing your actual funds.
You only need to do this once, and it usually takes less than 5 minutes.
👉 For example, if you’re using Binance, check out this step-by-step guide on how to set up your Binance API connection.
No passwords are shared, and you remain in full control of your assets at all times.
Step 3: Choose or Create a Bot
Now that your exchange is connected, it’s time to set your bot in motion.
You have two main options:
Use a pre-built strategy from the Strategy Marketplace
Create your own bot from scratch
CryptoHero supports a wide range of bot types—including:
Simple & Advanced Bots
Grid Bots
DCA Bots
Exit & Sell Bots
Arbitrage Bots
Each type caters to different trading styles and market conditions, so you can tailor your bot to match your goals.
Step 4: Test It First (Highly Recommended!)
Before going live with real funds, we strongly recommend using Paper Trading Mode—CryptoHero’s built-in simulator that mimics live trading without risking actual money.
It’s the perfect way to get familiar with how the bot works and adjust your settings with confidence.
Final Thoughts
Getting started with CryptoHero doesn’t require a tech degree or hours of setup. All you need is:
✔️ An exchange account
✔️ API connection
✔️ A strategy (from our Marketplace or your own)
✔️ A bot setup
✔️ Recommended testing with Paper Trading
From there, just monitor and refine as you go.
