# Trading Bot

The official [Insiders.bot](http://Insiders.bot) Trading Bot allows you to manage your entire portfolio and execute copy trades directly from [Telegram](https://t.me/insidersdotbot).

***

### Getting Started

1. Open Telegram and search for `@insidersdotbot`, or click [this link](https://t.me/insidersdotbot).
2. Type `/start` to initialize the bot and access the main menu.
3. Type `/wallet` to view your auto-generated custodial wallet address (Privy-powered).
4. Deposit **USDC** and **POL** to your wallet address on the **Polygon network**.
5. Type `/approve` to authorize on-chain token spending (required before your first trade).
6. You are now ready to trade. Use `/copytrade` to set up your first copy trade.

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend depositing at least **$10 in USDC** for trading capital and **$5 worth of POL for gas fees**. Both **USDC** and **USDC.e** are accepted and automatically interchangeable (swapped via Uniswap if needed).
{% endhint %}

### Wallet Management

Your Telegram bot wallet is the same **Privy-powered custodial wallet** linked to your [Insiders.bot](http://Insiders.bot) account. Key points:

* Use `/wallet` to check your current balance at any time.
* Use `/transfer` to withdraw funds to any external Polygon address. Enter the destination address and amount when prompted.
* Your wallet supports USDC, USDC.e, and POL. Both USDC variants are fully interchangeable on the platform.
* There are no private keys to manage or export. Security is handled by Privy's infrastructure.
* We strongly recommend enabling **2FA on your Telegram account** for an additional layer of protection.
