Trading Bot FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which exchanges are supported?
We currently support three providers:
- Revolut X – Crypto trading with GBP, USD, and EUR pairs
- Binance – Crypto trading with USDT pairs
- OANDA – Forex trading with major currency pairs
What currencies can I trade in?
For Revolut, you can trade in GBP (£), USD ($), or EUR (€) depending on your account currency. When creating a bot, select the quote currency that matches your Revolut account to ensure correct balance reading and position sizing.
How often does the bot check the market?
The bot runs on a scheduled cron job, typically every 5-15 minutes. During each run it:
- Fetches current transit data
- Gets the latest price candles
- Checks for breaking news (every 30 minutes)
- Runs the AI analysis
- Executes trades if conditions are met
What is Paper Trading?
Paper trading simulates trades without using real money. It’s the perfect way to test the bot’s performance and get comfortable with the system before risking real funds. Paper bots still use live market data for their analysis – they just don’t place real orders.
What is the difference between Paper and Live mode?
| Feature | Paper Mode | Live Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Market Data | Real live data | Real live data |
| AI Analysis | Full analysis | Full analysis |
| Order Execution | Simulated | Real orders on exchange |
| Risk | None | Real money at risk |
| Balance Tracking | Virtual balance | Real exchange balance |
Are there any fees?
HumanDesign.ai does not charge additional trading fees. However, your exchange will charge their standard trading fees and spreads:
- Revolut X – Standard Revolut trading fees apply (typically 0-1.5% depending on your plan)
- Binance – Standard Binance trading fees (0.1% maker/taker for spot)
- OANDA – Spread-based fees on forex pairs
How does position sizing work?
The bot uses your “Max Position Size” setting to determine how much to trade. For example:
- Account balance: £100
- Max position size: 2%
- Each trade: £2 worth of the asset
You can increase this to 5-10% for more significant trades, but remember: higher position size = higher risk per trade.
What is the Minimum Confidence setting?
The AI assigns a confidence score (0-100%) to each trading decision. Your Minimum Confidence setting acts as a filter – the bot will only execute trades when the AI’s confidence exceeds this threshold. A higher setting means fewer but more confident trades.
Can the bot lose money?
Yes. Like all trading systems, the bot can incur losses. The transit-based analysis provides a unique edge, but markets are inherently unpredictable. Use the stop loss, position sizing, and drawdown settings to manage your risk. We strongly recommend starting with paper trading.
How do I check my trades on Revolut?
You can view your trade history in several ways:
- In the app – Go to the Trading page → Trades tab to see all bot trades
- On Revolut X – Visit revx.revolut.com → Orders / Trade History
- Revolut mobile app – Crypto section → transaction history
What happens if I change my bot’s trading pair?
If you change a bot’s trading pair (e.g., from BTC-USD to BTC-GBP), any existing open positions from the old pair will be automatically skipped during evaluation to prevent currency mismatch issues. You should manually close old positions before changing pairs.
What Human Design transits does the bot analyze?
The bot tracks:
- Gate transitions – When a planet moves from one gate to another
- Channel activations – When both gates of a channel are simultaneously active
- Retrogrades – Planetary retrograde periods that may signal reversals
- Moon phases – The lunar cycle and its market correlations
Each signal type is analyzed for bullish, bearish, or neutral implications and correlated with the current price action.
