## General

### Paper Trading

<Note>
  All our bots have an option to run in **paper trading mode**. This allows you to test your signals in a simulated environment before risking real money.
</Note>

### Manual Mode

<Tip>
  All our bots have an option to run in **manual mode**. Bots that are set to **manual** do not execute trades automatically. Instead, they provide you the trading signal information in realtime to the <a href="/baibaiapp">BaiBai Desktop App</a> or another registered target channel like **your Email, Telegram, Discord, Slack or Webhook**.

  You can then review the signal and decide whether to execute the trade manually or via our [API](/api-reference). This gives you more control over your trades and allows you to take advantage of market opportunities as they arise.
</Tip>

## No-code bots

Here are some examples of no-code bots you can use straight out of the box:
