# Overview

SlashTrade is a Telegram-based trading bot designed to simplify the cryptocurrency trading process. Users can start using the bot by adding it to a group chat and running the /start command.

After depositing at least 15 USDC, users can open perpetual contract positions using the /long or /short commands. The bot offers a rich set of features, including viewing markets (/markets), managing positions (/positions), setting stop-loss (/stoploss) and take-profit (/takeprofit) orders, and more.

Furthermore, SlashTrade features a points reward system where users can earn points through their first deposit, trading, daily check-ins, and inviting friends. These points can be used to participate in lottery events or fee-sharing programs. An invitation referral mechanism and regular community events further incentivize user participation and enhance the trading experience.
