  10. Update AstreoBot

From version 1.1.27 AstreoBot has an automatic updater. In the Settings > General sector it’s possible to choose the desired update method from the following options:

Semi-automatic update (recommended)

With the Download and wait for manual confirmation option when a new version is detected, it will be downloaded automatically. It will be notified on the interface and via Telegram or System (if such notifications are active).

Once notified you can enter the provided link and confirm the update which will be done automatically.

Se debe tener en cuenta que la actualización del bot se realiza en pocos segundos, sin embargo la actualización de la base de datos puede necesitar más tiempo para terminar adecuadamente. Además al iniciar el bot comienza el período de Safety Timeout.

It should be noted that updating the bot takes a few seconds, however updating the database may need more time to finish properly. Besides, when the trading engine is enabled, the Safety Timeout period begins.

Important: Before confirming the installation, consider these times and make sure your symbols are not waiting to sell, so as not to lose that window of opportunity.

Automatic update

With the Download, install and restart automatically option when a new version is detected, it will be downloaded and installed automatically.

The bot will restart at the end of the update process.
