# \[Legacy] Trading Bot (3rd party)

Please note that this trading bot setup is harder than with the LuxSignals connector. [See the LuxSignals Connector setup if you haven't yet.](/luxsignals/focus/luxsignals-legacy/legacy-trading-bot-luxsignals.md)

{% hint style="success" %}
Welcome to automating your LuxSignals trading! With just **3 simple steps**, you’ll have a trading bot up and running in minutes—making passive income while you sit back. Here’s what you need:

1. A **connector** to link LuxSignals to a supported broker.
2. **Strategy alerts** on TradingView. (Read the "Important Notes" section below for more information)

Below, we’ll walk you through each step. Don’t worry—it’s easier than it sounds!

### Step 1: Pick a Connector based on your broker

A connector is a tool that sends trading signals from LuxSignals to your broker. Here are your options:

#### What if my broker isn't listed?

No problem! You can easily quickly sign up with one of the brokers listed above—plenty of great options to choose from.

***

### Step 2: Follow the instructions from your connector.

Choose one of the connectors above, sign up, and **follow their setup instructions on their website.** They’ll guide you from here and how you need to setup the strategy alerts. For Tradeadapter we also have this [YouTube playlist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDotLqi2H_c\&list=PLOfqzJDSpISI3QYquvaPy5CTLn1FN2ldL).

***

### How it all works

Here’s the magic: When LuxSignals spots a trade, TradingView triggers your alert (more on that below). The alert sends details (like chart, order size, and direction) to your connector. The connector then tells your broker to open or close a position. Boom—automated trading!

### Important Notes

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you create an alert and later change the settings of LuxSignals, the alerts won't update (that's how TradingView is). So if you change LuxSignals' settings, create a new alert.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure to select "**Order Fills Only**" in your alert settings as condition. This is **very important**, otherwise the bot won't work.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Make sure you have **enabled bot mode** in LuxSignals' settings.

Also, make sure not to hide the dashboard in LuxSignals' settings.
{% endhint %}
