#### Step 3: Select the "Booster" Bot

Click on **Booster**. This bot is ideal for markets that are in a general uptrend and is perfect for beginners. For your first bot, select the **"Balance"** preset. It offers a good mix of performance and risk.

#### Step 4: Configure the Bot

You will now see the configuration screen. For a quick start, you only need to set two things:

1. **Symbol**: Choose a major trading pair, like `BTC/USDT` or `ETH/USDT`.
2. **Investment**: Decide how much you want to invest in this bot.

For all other settings like `Low Price` and `Grid Step`, the "Balance" preset has already filled in recommended values for you!

Click the green **"LAUNCH BOT"** button.

**That's it!** Your first trading bot is now live and will immediately start monitoring the market to place its first orders. You can see its status on your main dashboard.
