To unlock the full potential of the application and ensure smooth automated operations, you must configure a few key external API services and server-side dependencies.
The Alpha-Vantage API powers the historical data calculations and visual chart outputs.
Usage & Limits: The bot's request frequency is pre-configured to operate within Alpha-Vantage's free-tier rate limits. For more comprehensive daily graph views and higher rate limits, you can upgrade to a premium plan.
Configuration: Add your API key to config.php next to the Alpha-Vantage API comment line.

The Crypto News API feeds real-time market news into the AI sentiment engine, outputting positive or negative scores to guide trading decisions.
Risk Prevention: This critical feature helps prevent the bot from executing risky trades or entering positions during sudden market crashes.
Strategy Matching: While essential for Bullish Mode, enabling news sentiment is strongly recommended across all trading modes to optimize long-term entry points.
