How it works
From sign-up to your first automated trade: clear, step by step — even if you are new to crypto.
Create an account
Register securely with HoneyBadger Trader and log in to your personal dashboard. You only need an existing Bitvavo account to get started.
Connect your exchange
Create a secure API key on your exchange (e.g. Bitvavo). Enable trading permissions only. With this safeguard, your crypto stays 100% under your control.
Activate a strategy
Choose one of our professional bots, built on proven strategies. Each bot shows its risk profile and how it operates. Read more about our strategies.
Set your allocation
Decide which part of your portfolio the bot may trade. We trade spot markets only — no dangerous leverage and no risk of account liquidation.
Monitor everything live
The bot does the work, 24/7. View active positions and trade history from your dashboard. You always stay in control and can pause bots at any time.
Security comes first
🔒Trading permissions by design
Our architecture (built on Freqtrade) is designed solely to place orders. We explicitly ask you to create a key without withdrawal permissions. Even if our system were compromised, your crypto could not be withdrawn.
🗞Encrypted storage
Your API key is stored encrypted in our EU database. Even we cannot decrypt it in plain form after linking.
🛡HODL-friendly approach
Sharp market drop? No panic. Because we trade spot only (e.g. BTC), you can hold an open trade (HODL) and free the bot for new opportunities.
🏦Your money, your custody
HoneyBadger does not touch your funds or process crypto deposits or withdrawals. Everything runs in your name on your own Bitvavo account.
