# Bots

> Deploy, monitor, edit, backtest, and archive long-running Hummingbot bots

The **Bots** page manages long-running, containerized Hummingbot bots — always-on strategies with no LLM in the loop. Five tabs cover a bot's whole life: **Active**, **Runs**, **Editor**, **Backtest**, and **Archived**.

## Active

Live bots, with a stat strip for total PNL, volume, active bot count, and running controllers. **Deploy Bot** launches a new bot from a controller config.

## Runs

Every bot run, past and present: status (**Deployed** or **Archived**), PNL, volume, start time, and duration. This is the audit trail — click a run to inspect its performance.

</Frame>

## Editor

A code editor for the strategy files on the server: **Controllers** (`.py`, grouped into directional trading, market making, and generic) and their **Configs** (`.yml`). Edit in the browser, save to the server, and the next deploy uses your version. New files and uploads happen from the explorer header.

## Backtest

Replay a controller config against historical candles before it touches capital: pick the config, a time range (`1D/1W/1M/3M` presets), candle resolution, and a trade cost, then **Run Backtest**. Runs land in the **Tasks** list with their results.

## Archived

Stopped bots whose databases were archived — each card shows its trades and orders, and opens into the full performance breakdown.

## Using Telegram

**`/bots`** lists active bots with real-time status and metrics; each bot opens into **📋 Logs**, **📊 Chart**, and **🛑 Stop Bot**, with **📜 Historical** for past runs (stop-and-archive included). **`/new_bot`** walks through creating a bot configuration from a controller.
