What is the terminal made of?
The Terminal has four core areas working together:
1. Market Analytics — Birch Matrix, ADP, and Trend Dominance charts. Your read on the market before you act.
2. Trade Setup Panel — where you configure and place orders. Single Orders for specific assets, Smart (Group) Orders for multi-asset execution.
3. Open Positions & Management — all your active trades in one place, with controls to average in, partially close, or exit at any level (individual position, group, or entire portfolio).
4. Risk Management — the rule layer that runs underneath everything. When a rule is triggered, the action is blocked — not flagged, not warned. Blocked.

How do I demo trade?
Demo mode is available by default — no exchange connection needed.
In the List selector (top-right menu), click Create a new trade
Select DEMO as the account type
Set a starting deposit and give it a name
Confirm — your demo account is live
From there, everything works exactly like real trading: you can open single orders, place group orders, manage positions, set stop losses and take profits, and review performance in the Stats module. The only difference is no real money is at risk.
Each demo account maintains its own separate trade history, which makes it easy to test different strategies in parallel without mixing results.

How do I trade real funds?
Connect your exchange API — go to App Settings → Credentials, paste your API Key and Secret Key from Binance or Bybit
In the List selector, click Create a new trade and select REAL as the account type
If the keys are valid, your account balance will sync automatically
You're ready to trade
Make sure your API key has trading permissions enabled on the exchange side. Withdrawal permissions are not required — and for security, it's better to leave them off.
⚠️ Before you start trading: IP whitelist setup
To execute trades directly from EMAMA Terminal, your exchange needs to allow API requests from our platform's IP address. This is a standard security requirement on Binance and Bybit — without it, the connection will be established but orders won't go through.
One-time setup:
Go to your exchange account → API Management → find your API key settings
Enable IP restriction and add the following address to the allowed list:
154.48.217.244Save the changes on the exchange side
Add your API key in EMAMA App Settings → Credentials
You're ready to trade
This only needs to be done once. If you run into any issues during setup, reach out to us via Telegram support — we'll walk you through it.

What is a Single Order?
A Single Order is a direct trade entry on one specific asset. Use it when you've identified a setup on a particular coin and want full control over the entry.
To place one:
Click the asset in the Screener — its chart opens
Navigate to the Orders tab — the ticker is already filled in
Set your Leverage, Volume, Stop Loss, and Take Profit
Hit Buy or Sell
The terminal remembers your last inputs, so if you're running the same setup repeatedly, you won't have to re-enter parameters every time.
→ See Trading Terminal for parameter details (leverage, volume, SL/TP)
What is a Smart (Group) Order?
A Smart Order opens multiple positions simultaneously across a filtered set of assets — with a single action. Enable the Smart function on the left side of the Orders tab to access it.
You define the selection criteria — which assets to consider, which metric to rank them by (DP, DUR, DP+DUR, or a fixed value), how many positions to open, and the order parameters — and the terminal automatically picks the top candidates and executes.
Example: "Short the 5 assets with the highest negative DP on the 15m timeframe from my DeFi watchlist."
This is the index-style trading approach: instead of concentrating everything on one asset, you spread risk across the strongest or weakest names in the market and let statistical distribution work in your favour.
→ See Trading Terminal for the full breakdown of every Smart Order parameter
What is the difference between Single and Group orders?
Both use the same parameters (leverage, volume, SL/TP) — the key difference is whether you're targeting one asset or letting the terminal find the best candidates according to your rules.
What settings do trades have?
Broker fee — enter your exchange commission percentage. This keeps your P&L and Stats accurate.
Volume — set as a fixed USD amount or as a percentage of your deposit.
Stop Loss types:
High/Low — placed at the recent swing high or low
Percent — a fixed percentage from your entry
Trailing — moves with the price as it goes in your favor
Fixed — a fixed dollar value
ATP (Average True Price) — based on average deviation logic
Take Profit types:
High/Low
Percent
Trailing
Fixed USD
EMA — closes when price returns to the moving average
R/R ratio — automatically calculated based on your stop loss
How do I average into positions?
Averaging adds to an existing open position — increasing its size in the expectation that the trade will eventually move in your favor.
For an individual position:
Select the position in the Open Positions tab
Enter the percentage you want to add in the percentage field
Click Add
For an entire group: Use the Add button on the group row — it applies the specified percentage to every position in that group simultaneously.
For your full portfolio:
Average+ — adds to every profitable position
Average– — adds to every losing position
Average Long / Short — adds to all positions of that direction
→ See Trading Terminal for the full averaging and position management guide → See Risk Management to set limits on how many times a position can be averaged
How do I partially close a position?
The Reduce function takes a portion of the trade off the table without fully exiting — a partial take-profit.
For an individual position:
Select the position
Enter the percentage you want to close in the percentage field
Click Reduce
For a group or full portfolio:
Average+ — partially closes every profitable position
Average– — reduces every losing position
Average Long / Short — partially closes all positions of that direction
This is useful for locking in partial profits while keeping a portion of the position running — especially on strong trending moves where you don't want to exit entirely.
Can I close all trades at once?
Yes. Use the close controls in the position management panel:
All close operations respect your Risk Management rules. If Manual trade closing prohibited is active, positions with live SL/TP will need to exit through those levels.
What is Post-Trade Analysis?
Every closed trade stays in your history and is clickable. Click any closed position and the asset's chart opens with your trade mapped directly onto it:
Open marker — your entry point
Add markers — any averaging actions you took
Close marker — your exit point
This gives you a clean visual record of exactly how you managed the trade — where you entered, whether your averaging was well-timed or premature, and where you exited relative to the full move.
Reviewing closed trades regularly is one of the most practical ways to improve. It separates "that felt right" from "that actually worked" — which over time is the difference between developing a real edge and just staying even.
