Sometimes, when you try to create a new bot in TradeSanta, you might notice that a certain trading pair doesn’t appear among the available options.
This usually happens because of the selected strategy type (Long or Short) and your available balance on the exchange.
Let’s take a closer look at how it works 👇
Each trading pair on your exchange consists of two coins:
Which currency the bot uses depends on your strategy type — Long or Short.
When you choose a Long strategy, the bot buys a coin and sells it later when its price rises.
Your profit is earned in the quote currency (the second coin of the pair).
✅ Example:
If you create a bot for the BTC/USDT pair using a Long strategy, the bot will buy BTC using USDT, and sell BTC later when the price goes up — your profit will be in USDT.
👉 Therefore, to create a Long bot for BTC/USDT, you must have USDT (the quote currency) available on your exchange balance.
Most exchanges also have a minimum order size — for instance, on Binance it’s around $11 USD equivalent.
So, to make the pair visible and available for bot creation, make sure you have more than $11 worth of USDT in your balance.
Once there’s a sufficient balance, all available pairs for that quote currency (e.g., USDT) will become visible when creating a bot.
