# Anatomy of the "Create Bot" Screen

Creating a new bot is an exciting process, and we've designed our platform to make it as simple or as detailed as you want. This guide will walk you through the settings and options you'll see on the "Create Bot" screen, which are common to all bot types.

### Step 1: Launching the Bot Creator

To begin, click the green **Launch Bot** button located at the top right of your dashboard.

### Step 2: Choosing Your Strategy

After clicking "Launch Bot," you'll be presented with our full library of bot strategies. Each one is designed for a specific market condition (Uptrend, Bearish, etc.).

> We have a detailed guide for each of these strategies in this section of the manual. For now, just click on the one you wish to configure. For this example, we'll proceed with the **Booster** bot.

### Step 3: The Configuration Screen

This is where you'll set the parameters for your bot. The screen has two modes: a **Simple Mode** for quick setup and an **Advanced Mode** for fine-tuning.

#### Common Settings

These first two settings are required for every bot you create:

* **Account**: Select which of your connected exchange accounts this bot should use for trading and funding.

* **Symbol**: Choose the cryptocurrency pair you want the bot to trade (e.g., `BTC/USDT`).

#### Simple Mode (Default View)

By default, you'll see the simple configuration, designed to get you started in seconds. The main setting here is **Investment**.

You can set your investment amount in two ways:

1. **Type the Amount**: Directly enter the amount of USDT (or other quote currency) you wish to allocate to the bot.
2. **Use the Slider**: Use the percentage slider to quickly allocate a portion of your account's available funds.

#### Advanced Mode (Customize)

For those who want more control over the bot's strategy, you can enable the Advanced Mode.

1. Find the **Customize** toggle at the bottom of the configuration screen.
2. Click the toggle to reveal the advanced settings.

This view includes more granular controls, such as:

* **Grid Step / Grid Percent**: Defines the core logic of the trading grid.
* **Trailing Up / Trailing Down**: Allows the bot to follow the market trend.
* **Take Profit / Stop Loss**: Essential risk management tools.

> **Note:** The meaning and optimal use of these advanced settings can vary between bot strategies. We will cover them in detail in each specific `Strategy Guide`.

Once you have configured your bot in either Simple or Advanced mode, simply click the green **LAUNCH BOT** button at the bottom, and your bot will be live!
