Detailed Automation Instructions
Using Conditional Orders to Automate Buys and Sells
Conditional orders allow you to automate trades by setting a target price. When the market price of a cryptocurrency reaches your specified target, a buy or sell order is triggered automatically, helping you manage trades without constantly monitoring the market. Steps to Place Conditional Orders:
Log in to your Coinstash account.
Navigate to the trading interface.
Select the cryptocurrency you wish to buy or sell.
Specify the target price and whether it is a buy or sell order.
Confirm and save your conditional order. After setup, Coinstash will track the market price and execute the order when conditions are met.
Setting Up Automatic Recurring Purchases
Automatic recurring purchases let you regularly invest in cryptocurrencies without manual action—ideal for portfolio building via dollar-cost averaging. Steps to Schedule Automatic Purchases:
Log in to the Coinstash website using a desktop or laptop.
Navigate to the "Automatic Purchases" section.
Select the cryptocurrencies to include in your purchase plan.
Choose the percentage of each deposit to allocate to each cryptocurrency.
Set up a recurring bank transfer from your banking app to fund your Coinstash account. Once set up, scheduled purchases proceed automatically as long as your account is sufficiently funded.
