# Manual trade

## What is Manual Trading?

Manual trading allows UpBots users that wish to conduct their own customized trades, without bots or copy trading, to do so in the most straightforward way. 

In this section of UpBots users will have the ability to trade assets on any connected exchange (integrated via API) through the UpBots platform using as simple or advanced and powerful interface as the user desires. 

For the Master Trader, all parameters that are a part of a trader's custom strategy can be easily entered from our dashboard to create very advanced trades. Equally if a trader is new, they will have lots of decision support tools, and a simple buy/sell interface through the Basic Manual Trade.

More details on all these different aspects to Manual Trading can be found below:
