**AI Advantages**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Adaptive Intelligence

Our AI models learn from vast amounts of historical and live market data. They don't rely on fixed rules — instead, they **adapt to changing market conditions**, making them more robust during volatility.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Data-Driven Precision

Unlike emotional or gut-based decisions, our AI strategies are built on **statistical models and pattern recognition**, leading to more consistent performance across different asset classes and timeframes.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Speed & Scale

Our AI systems can analyze **thousands of assets, indicators, and timeframes simultaneously** — far faster than any human. This allows them to detect and act on opportunities in milliseconds.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Backtesting & Optimization

Our machine learning models can be trained on **millions of data points** and fine-tuned for optimal performance using techniques like cross-validation, genetic algorithms, and reinforcement learning.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Noise Filtering

Our AI excels at identifying **real signals** in noisy markets by using deep learning or statistical filters. It can detect subtle shifts that traditional technical indicators might miss.

Example:

* If you want to trade via your **BloFin account**, choose your **connected BloFin key** from the dropdown.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 💰 Set Your Investment Amount

Choose **how much you want the bot to trade with**:

* A fixed dollar amount (e.g., $200), **OR**
* A **percentage of your balance** (recommended ✅)

> ⚠️ All bots are set to **3x leverage by default**, optimized by PrimeAutomation's backtests.\
> 📈 Using a **% of your balance** allows your position size to **scale dynamically** as your account grows.
> {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 🔑 Set Leverage

Finally we need to set our leverage. This by default is set to 3 for most strategies. \
\
⚠️The higher the leverage the higher the potential profits but also the higher the risk.&#x20;
