# How To Create A Naked Call Bot

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Naked Call Bot

This guide will walk you through the process of creating a Naked Call Auto Trader bot. You can expect to see steps for selecting symbols, setting expiration dates, choosing strike prices, and determining whether to buy or sell a call option. The guide also covers defining trade entry and exit conditions, managing your bot's buying power, and reviewing settings before finalizing your Auto Trader.

## **Step 1: Access the Dashboard**

-   Start by clicking on the **Dashboard** page.
    

## **Step 2: Create an Auto Trader**

-   Click on the **Create an Auto Trader** button.
    

## **Step 3: Select Naked Calls**

-   From the options, select **Naked Calls**.
    

## **Step 4: Pick the Symbol**

-   Choose the **symbol** you want to trade.
    

## **Step 5: Set Days Until Expiration**

-   Choose the **expiration time** (e.g., 0 days to any desired expiration period).
    

## **Step 6: Choose Strike Price**

-   Set the **strike price** based on options like **Delta**, **out-of-the-money**, **dollar amount**, **percentage**, or **target option price**.
    

## **Step 7: Set the Position (Buy or Sell)**

-   Choose whether you want to **sell** or **buy** the call:
    
    -   **Negative Delta** (e.g., -1) means **selling** the call (e.g., covered call strategy).
        
    -   **Positive Delta** (e.g., +1) means **buying** the call to take advantage of upward movement.
        

## **Step 8: Define Trade Entry Frequency**

-   Set how often you want to enter the trade:
    
    -   Choose a specific day (e.g., once a week), session, or time.
        
    -   Optionally, integrate **TradingView** indicators for more specific entry rules.
        

## **Step 9: Set Exit Conditions**

-   Define when you want to exit the trade:
    
    -   Set rules for **take profit**, **stop loss**, and **early management** (e.g., closing the trade early).
        

## **Step 10: Manage Advanced Settings (Optional)**

-   Customize other advanced settings if necessary.
    

## **Step 11: Define Buying Power Allocation**

-   Set how much money the bot is allowed to trade with:
    
    -   For example, if each trade requires $500 and you plan to handle 5 trades, allocate at least $2,500 to the bot.
        

## **Step 12: Review Settings**

-   Click **Save and Continue** to review all the settings and ensure they align with your preferences.
    

## **Step 13: Authorize and Save**
