Yes, you can connect multiple trading bots to the same crypto exchange account. There are two ways to do this.

Sub-accounts (recommended)

Most crypto exchanges offer sub-accounts. This is the best way to manage multiple portfolios or different trading strategies. Each sub-account acts as a separate trading bot. Check if your exchange offers sub-accounts and set up API keys for each one. Make sure your funds are in the correct sub-account. When trading automatically, you need a subscription for each sub-account.

Same exchange account

You can also run two trading bots on the same exchange account. This has several disadvantages compared to sub-accounts:

  • Turn off Auto Sync in both trading bots. You can find this under Current assets on your Dashboard or Advanced Dashboard. If you leave it on, positions opened by one bot will show up in the other.

  • Both bots share the same quote currency funds. It is possible that one trading bot uses all the funds and the other trading bot does not open any positions. Because the trading bot buys amounts based on the allocated amount of the quote currency, there is no easy way to prevent this problem. You may consider setting a maximum number of positions per trading bot.

Using sub-accounts is the best practice to avoid these issues.
