# 1. unCoded Quickstart

This guide gives you a fast overview of everything you need to set up your unCoded trading bot and get it ready for automated trading.

The goal is simple: within about 60 minutes, you should have your bot deployed, connected to your exchange, configured with TradingView alerts, and ready to receive notifications.

***

## What you need before you start

Before starting the setup, make sure you have the following ready:

### 1. unCoded license

You need an active unCoded license to run the bot. The license connects your setup to your account and allows the bot to operate.

<Check>
  Activate your free \$25 trial license [here](https://uncoded.ch/account).
</Check>

### 2. Exchange account

You need an account with a supported exchange, such as Binance. You can find [all supported exchanges here](/exchanges-overview-and-selection).

Make sure your account is fully verified and ready for trading before continuing.

### 3. API keys from your exchange

Your bot uses API keys to connect to your exchange account.

You will need:

* API key
* API secret
* The correct API permissions for trading (Spot-Trading enabled, IP-Restriction)

For security reasons, withdrawal permissions should **<u>not</u>** be enabled.

<Check>
  Save 20% on trading fees with the [unCoded Binance referral link](https://bit.ly/B-20Fee). *New customers only.*

### 4. Server hosting

Your bot needs to run on a server so it can stay online continuously.

The [recommended setup uses Zeabur](https://zeabur.com/templates/FX6Y6O), which allows you to deploy and manage the bot without setting up your own server manually.

<Check>
  Use the referral code **“unCoded”** during your first server purchase to get **10% off** your server.
