# Trading Bot Setup (Manual, Not needed) + Trading view

Activate the Trading Bot

* Use the `approve` endpoint to assign permissions to the gas wallet to spend the tokens to be traded. If you plan go short, please approve BTCBEAR1X (Polygon/Optimism/Arbitrum), ETHBEAR1X (Polygon/Optimism/Arbitrum) or MATICBEAR1X (Polyogn) to activate permissions for shorts and when approving those, use platform=toros. Shorts are only available for the following chains and tokens:

  * **Polygon**: WETH, WMATIC, and WBTC
  * **Optimism and Arbitrum**: WETH and WBTC

  Note: Those assets must be enabled on dHEDGE vault as allowed assets first from the official UI.
* Use the `setSide` endpoint to activate the trading bot.
* Specify the strategy side (long/short/neutral) and the asset you want to trade.

#### Integrate with Trading View

* **Buy Signal Alerts**: Copy the `setSide` endpoint to your Trading View strategy alert and paste it into the webhook URL with `side=long`.
* **Sell Signal Alerts**: Copy the `setSide` endpoint to your Trading View strategy alert and paste it into the webhook URL with `side=neutral`.
* **Short Signal Alerts**: Copy the `setSide` endpoint to your Trading View strategy alert and paste it into the webhook URL with `side=short`.
