Overview
The Advanced Symbol Sync feature provides intelligent automation for managing trading symbols in MagicTradeBot. It dynamically synchronizes with your exchange to ensure you're always trading on active, available markets while giving you the flexibility to manually curate your symbol list when needed.
How It Works
Automatic Mode (Default)
When enabled, the bot continuously monitors and syncs with your exchange's supported symbols:
Initial Setup
- On first run, the bot discovers and adds all supported trading pairs from your exchange
- No manual configuration required - start trading immediately
Continuous Synchronization
- New Listings: Automatically detects and adds newly listed symbols to your trading portfolio
- Delistings: Removes symbols that have been delisted by the exchange to prevent trading errors
- Updates: Runs periodic checks to keep your symbol list current with exchange offerings
Benefits
- Never miss trading opportunities on new listings
- Avoid failed orders from delisted symbols
- Hands-free portfolio management
- Ensures strategies apply across entire market
