Opening Long

BTO <ticker>/<pair> @ <price> [exchange] I.e. BTO BTC/USDT @ 26952 binance

To open a long crypto position, use the trigger BTO followed by the ticker/pair (I.e. BTC/USDT), then the symbol @ before the price. By default on new accounts, the crypto exchange is set to Binance and if an exchange name is not specified the bot will log the trade for the Binance exchange. The default exchange, among other (market, pair) defaults, can be changed. See Defaultsfor more info.
