Defaults
Set your default trading market to crypto, your crypto exchange, and trading pair
To set or change your defaults use the
$defaults commandWhy set my default trading market?The default market setting is what tells the bot whether your trades are crypto or stocks. When set to crypto, you don't need to specify your trading pair (unless it's different than your default pair) which can allow for a faster trade submission.
When trying to trade stocks/options while your default market is set to crypto, you'll need to add the
-s syntax to the end of your ticker.
I.e. bto aapl-s @ cmp
When trading options you don't need to use the -s syntax.When trading options you don't need to use the
-s syntax.You can still trade crypto when your default market is set to crypto. You will just need to specify the trading pair with your ticker, or use the
.x syntax at the end of your ticker to use your default trading pair.
I.e. bto btc/usdt @ cmp
or
bto btc.x @ cmp The -s and .x syntax's can be used with any of these characters:

Trading pairs consist of two assets that can be traded with each other on an exchange and are also used to quote one crypto against the other.
The default trading pair allows you to not have to specify the pair when submitting a trade, it will automatically use your default pair- so long your default market is set to
crypto.
The trading pair is the second ticker after the / separator. I.e. btc/usdt
