Bot commands · Auto-trading on and off
/on: start HafizeBot auto-trading
/on starts auto-trading: the bot checks your Binance key and then trades the next signal that passes your settings; it stays off and says why if Binance refuses the key or Enable Futures is off.

/on is the switch. The Activate button in /settings and typing start trading do the same.
Examples
/on
When the key checks out:
Auto-trading is on ✅. The bot trades the next signal that passes your settings (/summary).
The bot adds a warning under it when something about the key is not as safe as it could be:
⚠️ This key can withdraw funds. HafizeBot never needs that. Turn off 'Enable Withdrawals' on Binance for safety.
⚠️ This key is not restricted to our server's IP. Restricting it is safer; the IP is …
When Binance refuses the key, auto-trading stays off:
Auto-trading stays off: Binance refused your API key (error -2015: invalid key, IP or permissions), so the bot could not place any trade.
Questions
I sent /on but no trade opened. Is it working?
Probably. The bot waits for the next signal that passes your settings, which can take a while. /lastsignals lists each recent signal and why it was entered or skipped; why the bot is not trading covers the usual reasons.
Does /on trade the signals I missed while it was off?
No. Signals that arrived while auto-trading was off were skipped at the time, and /lastsignals lists them as "skipped: auto-trading was off". The bot only acts on new signals.
What does /on say when no key is connected?
That auto-trading is on but nothing can be traded until a key is added at /app/keys.
