The Trade page is a chart-first trading terminal for centralized exchanges. Everything you do here creates an executor β€” a single supervised operation the API carries out and reports back on.
The Trade page: pair bar, chart, and the Order form in the Execute panel

The pair bar

Top left: the trading pair, the connector it trades on (spot or perp), and Browse to search everything the connector lists. Candle interval (1m–1d) and chart range (1h–30d) sit above the chart. The chart itself is TradingView β€” shift-click to measure ranges, and grid boundaries you set in the panel are drawn directly on it.

The Execute panel

The right panel’s Execute tab has four builders, one per executor type:
  • Order β€” a market or limit order. Set direction, amount (with %-of-balance shortcuts and USD notation), execution strategy, leverage, and position action, then Create Order Executor.
  • Position β€” a position with stop-loss / take-profit attached (Position Executor).
  • Grid β€” a grid of orders between a start and end price, with stop-loss boundary, total amount, per-order minimums, spread, leverage, and take-profit per fill. Auto-fill proposes boundaries from the chart (Grid Executor).
  • DCA β€” laddered entries over time (DCA Executor).

The Data tab

Data swaps the builder for the live order book (with spread) and recent trades for the selected pair.

The bottom tray

Below the chart, two tables scoped to the current pair: Executors (live and recent, with entry, PNL, and volume) and Positions. This is where what you just created reports in.

Supported exchanges

Any connector with credentials under Settings β†’ Keys and Wallets shows up in the connector picker.

Using Telegram

/trade (and its alias /swap) opens one unified trading menu covering CEX and DEX venues. Pick the venue and pair, build the order with toggle buttons (side, order type, position mode) and text input β€” $100 converts USD to token units β€” then πŸ“Š Quote before βœ… Execute. The same menu reaches πŸ“‹ Orders (view, filter, cancel) and πŸ“Š Positions (view, close with confirmation), and perpetual venues get leverage and position-mode controls.

Using Hummingbot API

The builders create executors, but the API also places orders directly β€” no executor, no exit conditions, no per-agent attribution:
Reach for direct orders for quick manual trades; reach for executors when you want automatic exits (TP/SL/time) and P&L tagged to whoever created it.
