# ⚡️ Quick start
Get started with OpenTrader in just a few steps. Follow this quick guide to install, configure, and run your crypto trading bot.
> [!NOTE]
> OpenTrader requires Node.js v22 or higher. You can check your Node.js version by running `node -v`
## Installation
1. Install OpenTrader globally using npm:
```bash
npm install -g opentrader
```
2. Set an admin password for later accessing the OpenTrader UI:
```bash
opentrader set-password
```
3. Start the OpenTrader app
```bash
opentrader up
```
The app will start the RPC server and listen on port 8000.
> **Tip**: Use `opentrader up -d` to start the app as a daemon. To stop it, run `opentrader down`.
# Usage
## UI
The user interface allows managing multiple bots and strategies, viewing backtest results, and monitoring live trading.
You can access the OpenTrader UI on: http://localhost:8000
## CLI
### Connect an exchange
Copy the `exchanges.sample.json5` file to `exchanges.json5` and add your API keys.
> Available exchanges: OKX, BYBIT, BINANCE, KRAKEN, COINBASE, GATEIO, BITGET
### Choose a strategy
Create the strategy configuration file `config.json5`. We will use the `grid` strategy as an example.
```json5
{
// Grid strategy params
settings: {
highPrice: 70000, // upper price of the grid
lowPrice: 60000, // lower price of the grid
gridLevels: 20, // number of grid levels
quantityPerGrid: 0.0001, // quantity in base currency per each grid
},
pair: "BTC/USDT",
exchange: "DEFAULT",
}
```
> Currently supported strategies: `grid`, `dca`, `rsi`
### Run a backtest
Command: `opentrader backtest --from --to -t `
Example running a `grid` strategy on `1h` timeframe.
```bash
opentrader backtest grid --from 2024-03-01 --to 2024-06-01 -t 1h
```
> To get more accurate results, use a smaller timeframe, e.g. 1m, however, it will take more time to download OHLC data from the exchange.
### Running a Live Trading
Command: `opentrader trade `
Example running a live trading with `grid` strategy.
```bash
opentrader trade grid
```
> To stop the live trading, run `opentrader stop`
