What You Need Before Starting

Before we dive into the exciting world of automated trading with NexTrader Bot, ensure you have the following essentials:

• A Deriv.com Account: This can be a real or demo account. We highly recommend starting with a demo account for practice.
• A Deriv API Token: This is your secure key to connect NexTrader Bot to your Deriv account. We'll show you how to generate one.
• An Internet Connection: A stable connection is crucial for seamless bot operation.
• A Web Browser: Access bot.nextrader.live from any modern web browser.
• (Optional but Recommended) A Free Nextrader Account: While not strictly required to run bots on bot.nextrader.live, signing up at app.nextrader.live/signup gives you access to the full Nextrader ecosystem and future benefits.

Step 1: Generating Your Deriv API Token

The first crucial step to using NexTrader Bot is securing your Deriv API token. This token acts as a secure bridge, allowing NexTrader Bot to execute trades and read your account balance on your behalf, without ever needing your Deriv password.

1. Log in to Your Deriv Account: Open your web browser and go to deriv.com. Log in using your registered email and password.

2. Navigate to API Tokens: Once logged in, click on your profile picture or account name in the top right corner. From the dropdown menu, select "Settings." On the Settings page, look for the "API Tokens" tab on the left-hand sidebar and click it.

3. Create a New Token: On the API Tokens page, you'll see any existing tokens. To create a new one, click the prominent "Create a new token" button.

4. Configure Token Permissions: This is a vital step for security and functionality.

* Token Name: Give your token a descriptive name, such as "Nextrader Bot Access" so you can easily identify it later.

* Permissions: For NexTrader Bot to function correctly, you need to grant specific permissions. We recommend selecting:

* Read: Allows the bot to read your account balance, transaction history, and other data.

* Trade: Essential for the bot to place and manage trades on your account.

* (Optional) Cashier: If you plan to use any withdrawal/deposit features (which are not directly handled by NexTrader Bot but might be useful for other integrations in the future), you can select this. For running bots, "Read" and "Trade" are sufficient.

5. Confirm and Copy Your Token: After selecting the necessary permissions, click the "Create" button. Deriv will then display your newly generated API token. This token is shown only once, so it's critical to copy it immediately. Click the copy icon next to the token string to save it to your clipboard. Store it temporarily in a secure place (like a notepad) before proceeding. Do not share this token with anyone except for legitimate services like NexTrader Bot.

Step 2: Accessing NexTrader Bot and Connecting Your Deriv Account

With your Deriv API token in hand, you're now ready to connect to the NexTrader Bot platform and bring your account online. This connection is secure and allows the platform to display your live balance and execute trades as instructed by the bots.

1. Open NexTrader Bot: Launch your web browser and navigate directly to the NexTrader Bot platform: bot.nextrader.live.

2. Locate the API Token Input Field: Upon arriving at the NexTrader Bot homepage, you'll immediately see a clear input field, usually labeled "Deriv API Token" or similar, often with a "Connect" button nearby. This is where you'll paste the token you just copied from your Deriv account.

3. Paste Your API Token: Carefully paste your Deriv API token into the designated input field. Double-check that no extra spaces or characters are included.

4. Connect to Deriv: Click the "Connect" button. The NexTrader Bot platform will then attempt to establish a secure connection with your Deriv account using the provided token.

5. Verify Connection and Balance: Once connected, the dashboard will update. You should see your Deriv account details displayed, including your account ID, currency, and most importantly, your current balance (either demo or real, depending on the account linked to your API token). This live demo balance or real balance confirmation signifies a successful connection, and you're now ready to explore the bot library.

Step 3: Navigating the Bot Hub and Selecting a Free Even/Odd Bot

The NexTrader Bot's Bot Hub is where the magic truly begins. It's a vast library of 747+ ready-to-run Deriv bots, designed for various strategies and contract types. For this tutorial, we'll focus on finding your first free Even/Odd bot.

1. Access the Bot Hub: On the NexTrader Bot dashboard, after successfully connecting your Deriv account, locate the "Bot Hub" section. This is typically a prominent navigation element or a dedicated area displaying a grid of available bots. Click on it to enter the library.

2. Filter for Free Bots: Within the Bot Hub, you'll notice different tiers of bots. To find a free deriv bot, look for a filter option labeled "Free Bots." Click this filter to display only the bots available without any subscription or payment.

3. Filter by Contract Type: Even/Odd: Now, to narrow down your selection to the specific type of bot for this tutorial, locate the "Contract Type" filter. From the options (Rise/Fall, Over/Under, Match/Differ, Tick, Indicator, Candle), select "Even/Odd." This will show you all the free binary bots designed for Even/Odd contracts.

4. Browse and Select Your Bot: Take a moment to browse the displayed Even/Odd bots. You'll see named bots like "Even Comet" or "Odd Bolt," often accompanied by usage counters, and "Trending," "Hot," or "Most-used" badges. These badges can indicate popular and well-performing bots within the community. For your first run, any of the free Even/Odd bots will serve the purpose of learning the platform. Choose one that catches your eye. Remember, these are block-based bots, meaning they are built visually without any complex coding, making them perfect for one-click deployment.

Step 4: Loading Your Chosen Deriv Bot with One Click

One of the most powerful features of NexTrader Bot is its "one-click" loading mechanism. This eliminates the need for manual configuration or complex setup, getting you to automated trading almost instantly.

1. Click on Your Selected Bot: Once you've identified the free Even/Odd bot you wish to run, simply click on its card or entry in the Bot Hub. This action is your "one click" to load the bot.

2. Bot Loading Confirmation: Upon clicking, the platform will typically display a brief loading animation or a confirmation message indicating that the bot is being prepared. In a matter of seconds, the selected deriv bot will be loaded into your active workspace or trading dashboard. You'll notice that the bot's pre-configured blocks are now visible (though you don't need to interact with them directly), ready for execution.

3. Review Default Settings (Optional but Recommended): Before running, quickly glance at the bot's default settings, usually displayed prominently on the dashboard. These settings typically include:

* Asset: The specific Deriv synthetic index (e.g., Volatility 10 Index, Crash 500 Index) the bot is configured to trade.

* Initial Stake: The default amount the bot will use for each trade. For your first run, especially on a demo account, ensure this is a small, manageable amount.

* Speed: Many bots support 1-Tick and 1-Tick Turbo speeds. The default will be set, but you can explore these options later.

These are the bot's pre-programmed parameters. While you can often adjust the stake, for your initial run, it's best to stick with the loaded settings to understand its default behavior. The beauty of these binary bots is their readiness.

Step 5: Running Your Bot and Monitoring Performance

Now for the exciting part – putting your chosen free deriv bot into action! Remember to always start on a Deriv demo account to familiarize yourself with the bot's behavior and the platform's controls.

1. Confirm Demo Account (Crucial!): Before clicking "Run," always double-check that your connected Deriv account is a "Demo Account." This is usually indicated clearly on the NexTrader Bot dashboard next to your balance. Trading with real money carries significant risk, so practice on demo first.

2. Initiate Trading: Locate the "Run" button on the NexTrader Bot dashboard. It's usually a prominent green button. Click it to start your deriv trading bot.

3. Monitor Live Trades: As soon as you click "Run," the bot will begin executing trades according to its programmed logic on your Deriv account. You'll see real-time updates on the NexTrader Bot dashboard, which typically includes:

* Trade Log: A list of recent trades, showing the asset, contract type (Even/Odd in this case), stake, entry/exit prices, and profit/loss for each trade.

* Overall P/L: Your cumulative profit or loss from the current bot session.

* Stats: Other relevant statistics like the number of trades, win/loss ratio, etc.

Watch how the bot places trades and how your demo balance fluctuates. This is an excellent way to observe its strategy in action.

4. Stop the Bot: To halt the bot's operations at any time, simply click the "Stop" button (usually a red button, replacing the "Run" button or appearing alongside it). The bot will finish any active trades and cease placing new ones. It's good practice to stop the bot after a period of observation or if you wish to change settings.

5. Review and Learn: After stopping the bot, take time to review the trade log and overall performance. What did you observe? Did it perform as expected? This initial run is about learning and understanding, not necessarily achieving massive profits.
