# AI Trading & Bots on Dexana

Dexana offers AI‑powered trading bots that help you automate strategies on Solana while you stay in control of your funds.

This guide covers:

* Types of Dexana bots
* How to enable and configure them
* How to monitor performance and manage risk

***

## 1. What Are Dexana Trading Bots?

Dexana bots are automated strategies that run on top of Solana DEX liquidity. They:

* Analyze market data using AI/ML models (trend, volatility, sentiment)
* Turn signals into trades automatically (buys, sells, rebalances)
* Respect your allocations and risk settings

You always keep custody of your funds. Bots only initiate transactions that you approve via your connected wallet.

***

## 2. Bot Types

### 2.1 Grid Trading Bot

* Designed for **sideways / ranging markets**
* Places a ladder of buy and sell orders within a price range
* Buys on dips to grid levels, sells on rebounds

**Best for:** assets that oscillate within a band.

### 2.2 DCA (Dollar‑Cost Averaging) Bot

* Buys a target asset at regular intervals
* Reduces timing risk by spreading entries over time
* Lets you accumulate SOL, DEX, or other tokens passively

**Best for:** long‑term accumulation.

### 2.3 Trend‑Following Bot

* Uses AI signals to detect uptrends and downtrends
* Enters when the model sees an edge, exits when trend weakens
* Can adjust position size based on conviction and volatility

**Best for:** trending markets.

### 2.4 Advanced / Arbitrage Bots (Future)

* Arbitrage between pools or routes
* Market‑making strategies within defined risk limits
* Likely reserved for Premium/Pro tiers

***

## 3. Access Requirements

Depending on your plan:

* **Free tier** – Limited access or caps on allocation
* **Premium/Pro** – More bots, higher limits, advanced controls
* **Institutional** – Custom strategies and dedicated support

In the UI, premium‑only strategies are clearly labeled. After you upgrade and log in, they unlock automatically.

***

## 4. Enabling a Bot

### 4.1 Navigate to Bots

1. Open the Dexana app.
2. Connect your wallet.
3. Go to **Trading Bot** or **Live Bots** in the navigation.

You’ll see a list of bots with:

* Strategy type
* Supported pairs (e.g. SOL/USDC, DEX/USDC)
* Historical performance metrics (win rate, profit, trades)

### 4.2 Choose a Strategy

Click a bot card to open its details:

* Strategy explanation
* Risk level (Conservative / Balanced / Aggressive)
* Historical PnL and drawdowns (where available)
* Minimum and recommended capital

If you accept the risks, click **Enable Bot**.

***

## 5. Configuring a Bot

When you enable a bot, you’ll configure:

1. **Pair** – e.g. SOL/USDC, DEX/USDC
2. **Capital allocation** – how much the bot can use
3. **Risk parameters**, such as:
   * Max drawdown per bot
   * Take‑profit / stop‑loss
   * Grid spacing or DCA frequency
   * Max open trades

You’ll then confirm a transaction from your wallet authorizing the bot logic to operate with those parameters.

***

## 6. Monitoring Bot Performance

Use the **Bot Dashboard** to track:

* Live and cumulative PnL
* Win rate and trade count
* Open positions
* Recent trades (timestamp, side, price, size)

You can also see the impact of bots on your overall holdings in the **Portfolio** view.

***

## 7. Managing Risk

Dexana provides tools to help you manage risk:

* **Pause/Stop bots** at any time
* **Adjust parameters** (allocation, thresholds) as market conditions change
* **Set hard limits**:
  * Max daily/weekly loss
  * Global allocation cap across all bots

If a limit is hit, bots can automatically:

* Stop opening new trades
* Close positions (if configured)
* Notify you to review settings

***

## 8. Stopping a Bot

To stop a bot:

1. Go to the **Bot Dashboard**.
2. Select the bot.
3. Click **Pause** or **Stop**.
4. Confirm in your wallet if a transaction is required.

Depending on settings, positions may be:

* Left open to be managed manually, or
* Closed by the bot to realize PnL and return to cash.

***

## 9. Fees

Bots may involve:

* **Subscription fees** – monthly cost per tier
* **Performance fees** – a small share of positive PnL for certain strategies (optional)
* **Network fees** – Solana transaction fees for each trade (very low)

Exact pricing is shown on the **Premium** or **Pricing** page in the app.

***

## 10. Important Disclaimers

* Past performance is **not** a guarantee of future results.
* AI models can fail, especially in extreme market regimes.
* You are responsible for the strategies you enable and your risk exposure.

Always start with smaller allocations, and only risk capital you can afford to lose.

***

## 11. Next Steps

* Read the **Dexana Whitepaper** to understand the full vision and tokenomics.
* Explore the **Launchpad** for early access to new projects.
* Join the Dexana community channels for strategy discussions and support.
