# Auto Trader ## What is the Auto Trader? The HollaEx Auto Trader is a simple-to-use system that allows your users to automate their trading strategies, trading assets at regularly chosen intervals. ## Who Has Access to the P2P System? The HollaEx Auto Trader system is available for exchanges and uses that exchange's [OTC Broker](https://docs.hollaex.com/how-tos/otc-broker) to execute trades. ## How to Set Up Auto Trading Enabling Auto Trading is simple. Head into Operator Controls as the exchange's admin, into General on the sidebar, and into the Features tab. From here, just click the Auto Trade option, and you are good to go. Keep in mind that the trades that are executed using the [OTC Broker](https://docs.hollaex.com/how-tos/otc-broker), so must be set up beforehand, and as the admin, you must ensure that the liquidity it uses is maintained to ensure a seamless user experience. *** ## User Flow on the Auto Trader The use of the Auto Trader is almost as simple as enabling it. From the Trade dropdown in the navigation bar, access the Auto Trader from its option.

The Auto Trader page will open. The Deposits, Markets, and History pages can be accessed from the top right links:

To set up a new recurring trade, the links either in the centre or upper left of the page are used. These will open the following menus:

Here, the two assets are chosen. The available assets will be from the markets that are available from the OTC Broker. This list will include [fiat assets](https://docs.hollaex.com/how-tos/fiat-controls) as well as crypto if you have created a relevant market in the OTC. Alongside this, the amount, per recurrent trade, of the asset to be spent is chosen. {% hint style="info" %} This will use the settings from that market's OTC Broker deal, and thus will only allow the minimum tradable asset to be selected. The user will be alerted if their chosen spend amount doesn't meet the market's threshold. {% endhint %} With these chosen, the frequency of the trade is chosen, between daily, weekly, or monthly trades, from the dropdown.

Dependent on the selection, the subsequent menu will slighty differ. ### Daily Trades Daily trades will simply occur at a proscribed time, on the hour, chosen at any time (UTC) by the user.

### Weekly Trades Weekly adds the option to choose what day, and the same option for the trade time to occur.

### Monthly Trades Monthly swaps out the day choice for the date.

*** After the timing of the trade, a simple description can also be entered.

Finally, the details of the Auto Trade can be reviewed or edited.

With it confirmed, the Auto Trade will not be active and viewable from the original Auto Trade page. From here, it can be paused or fully deleted.
