How to Set Up and Use the Crypto Trading Agent

A comprehensive guide to configuring and deploying your autonomous trading agent on Binance

Simple setup, powerful results

The crypto trading agent is designed for complete autonomy - once configured, it handles all trading decisions and executions without any manual intervention. The setup process involves configuration in both your Binance account and your CapTradeAI.com profile.

The agent operates exclusively within your Binance spot account, controlling only USDC and the specific trading pairs you define in your CapTradeAI.com profile. It has no access to other Binance account types like Earn, Futures, or Margin accounts, ensuring your other holdings remain completely separate and secure.

Key Features: Autonomous operation, spot account only, customizable trading pairs, continuous learning and adaptation
