# Create Futures Bot
## **Step 1: Adding a New Bot**
### 1. **Open the "Bots" section**
In the top menu of your platform, locate and click on the "Bots" tab. This page displays any existing bots (if available).
### 2. **Click "Add Bot"**
To create a new bot, click the "Add Bot" button located in the top-right corner of the screen, as indicated by the arrow in the screenshot.
## **Step 2: Entering Bot Information**
### 1. Provide the basic information about the bot
A form will appear for entering the details of the new bot. Fill in the following fields:
* **Bot Name**: Enter the name of your bot (e.g., "Grid\_bot").
* **Account**: Select the exchange account that the bot will operate on.
* **Coins**: Specify the base currency (*Base Coin*) and the counter currency (*Counter Coin*) for the trading pair.
* **Margin Mode**: Choose between **Cross** and **Isolated** margin mode.
* **Leverage**: Select the leverage level for the bot. Higher leverage increases potential profits but also increases risk.
### 2. Click "Next"
After entering the required information, click the "Next" button to proceed to the next step.
## **Step 3: Configuring Trading Bot Parameters**
### 1. **Set Strategy Parameters**
In this step, you need to define the parameters that will guide the bot's trading actions:
* [**execute\_price**](/function/required-parameters/execute-price.md#execute_price-decimal-or-formula-greater-than-decimal): Specify the execution price. You can use the `ticker_futures()` function to automatically set the current price.
* [**execute\_volume**](/function/required-parameters/execute-volume.md#execute_volume-decimal-or-formula-greater-than-decimal): Enter the trading volume in units of the base currency.
* [**buy\_orders\_count**](/function/required-parameters/buy-orders-count.md#buy_orders_count-integer-or-formula-greater-than-integer) and [**sell\_orders\_count**](/function/required-parameters/sell-orders-count.md#sell_orders_count-integer-or-formula-greater-than-integer): Define the number of buy and sell orders the bot should place.
### 2. **Save Configuration**
After setting all the parameters, click **Save** to store the bot's configuration.
The bot will now be ready to operate based on the defined trading strategy.
## Step 4: Import Preset
### 1. Select a Preset
* Click the **Import Preset** button.
* In the pop-up window, choose the desired preset from the list.
* You can switch between **Bot** (global strategies) and **Grid** (order grids) categories.
### 2. Import Settings
* Review the preset parameters on the right side of the window.
* Click **Import** to load the selected configuration.
### 3. Modifying Parameters Before Importing
* After selecting a preset, its parameters will be displayed on the right side of the window.
* The values of the variables can be modified before importing, allowing users to customize the strategy to fit their needs.
### 4. Edit and Launch
* After importing, the preset parameters will automatically fill in the bot creation form.
* You can modify them before saving.
* Click **Save** to save the bot or **Save and Exit** to exit.
