Scalping is a trading style where deals are made within minutes or even seconds. The goal is to capture small price fluctuations and profit through high-frequency trades.

Scalping is most often used with altcoins that have high liquidity and tight spreads. However, manual trading requires constant attention and quick reaction. This process can be simplified with the help of a Telegram bot.

To start automated trading based on your own logic, follow these steps:

1. Create an API key on MEXC. It’s required to connect the bot. Go to your API settings on the exchange, create a key, and enable “trade only” access — no withdrawal rights.

2. Launch the Telegram bot and insert the API key. You can get the bot link on the website. It will verify the key and connect to the exchange.

3. Configure trading parameters:
— % drop — at what price decrease to enter a trade
— % profit — at what price increase to sell the asset
— Bank — the maximum amount the bot is allowed to use in orders
— Trade amount — how much is used for a single order

4. Split your deposit. Don’t run the bot with 100% of your funds. Start with 20–50% — keep the rest in reserve.

After starting, the bot will place limit buy orders based on your logic. When the price drops by the set percentage — it opens a position. Once the profit level is reached — the bot will close it.

Depending on your risk level and deposit size, you can use one of three basic strategies:

Aggressive
Up to 80% of funds in trades
Low profit and drop percentages
Suitable for active market phases

Balanced
30–50% of funds involved
Moderate parameters
Suitable for most situations

Conservative
10–30% of the deposit in use
Large gap between orders, high profit percentages
Focus on stability, fewer trades

The bot allows you to change parameters at any time — just open the menu and adjust the strategy. You can test and switch in just 30 seconds.

To allow the bot to place orders on your behalf, it uses the API interface. On MEXC, the API is created in your account settings. You simply copy the key and paste it into the Telegram bot.

Important:
— The key must have trading permissions only — no withdrawal access
— The bot cannot manage your funds — it only places orders according to your scenario

Once connected, you’ll immediately see your balance and the pairs available for trading. No funds leave your account — everything stays on the exchange.

Inside the bot you can:
— See how many orders are placed and how many are executed
— Track the percentage of the bank being used
— View active and completed trades

If you notice the strategy isn’t delivering the desired results:
— Try adjusting the profit percentage
— Reduce the portion of the bank in use

The bot doesn’t make decisions for you — it simply executes your rules precisely. You have full control over the strategy.

Here are common mistakes beginners make — and how to avoid them:

— Going all in — launching the bot with 100% of the bank. It’s better to start with 20–30%.
— Too small drop % — too many orders, funds get frozen quickly.
— Large amounts with low % — profits are tiny, but risks are high.
— Changing strategies on the fly — doesn’t provide an objective picture of effectiveness.

To trade wisely:
— Use thoughtful parameters
— Analyze bot reports once a day
— Don’t interfere with trades manually without a reason

Now you know how to:
— Connect the bot and API
— Set steps and percentages
— Choose a strategy that fits you
— Evaluate performance and adjust logic
