How to set up the Donchian / Turtle

The bot setup asks six things — the same for all eight bots. The pictures are real recordings from the terminal: beginner mode, demo account, Binance prices.

The detailed guide — every field explained, tips, typical pitfalls — is shown as soon as you are logged in. The account is free. Log inCreate a demo account
