# 7. How to Set Trade Volume

**Your Capital. Your Safety. Your Strategy.**

Setting your trade volume is a critical step to ensure the mrD-Indicators Auto-Trading Bot works efficiently while managing your risk safely.

Unlike other bots, **mrD-Indicators Auto-Trading Bot only supports Fixed Volume Mode** — this means you define exactly how much USDT to use per signal.

***

#### 🔐 Fixed Amount (USDT) — Simple, Precise, and Safe

Choose a fixed USDT amount (e.g., $5, $10, $20) that the bot will apply to every trade automatically. The bot will convert this USD amount to the equivalent asset size (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL) based on market price and execute the order.

***

#### ⚠️ Risk Management Rule — Must Read!

To ensure safe long-term trading, you **must follow proper capital allocation rules**.

> ✅ Recommended Formula:\
> **Trade Volume = Account Balance / 500 to 1000 trades**

***

#### 🧮 Example Calculation:

If your Binance Futures account has:\
💰 **$5,000 total capital**

You should set:

* **Max volume per trade: $10** (5,000 / 500)
* **Safer option: $5** (5,000 / 1,000)

Setting a lower volume helps your account survive long losing streaks, volatile market conditions, and lets the bot work as designed — with hundreds of signals over time.

***

#### 📌 Setup Guide

**Path:**\
Main Menu ➝ `Volume` ➝ Enter your desired USDT amount (e.g., `5`, `10`)

#### 💡 Pro Tip for New Users

* Never risk your full capital in just a few trades.
* This is not scalping or gambling — it's a **signal system designed to run over 500–1000 trades**.
* Let the strategy do its job — keep your volume small, consistent, and steady.
