Running a Bitcoin Trading Bot on Your Own Machine

The NuxGrid bot runs on your own machine through the Connector. The web console configures, controls and monitors it, while trading operations execute locally.

01WHERE DOES NUXGRID ACTUALLY RUN?

Local execution with a clear separation

The local runner loads the strategy configuration, reads locally stored credentials, connects to the configured exchange, tracks order states, and stores operational trading data in a local database.

The Connector submits and reconciles exchange orders. NuxGrid.com is not the process that directly places each trading order.

The browser can be closed. The bot continues running on your machine.

02WHAT DOES EACH PART DO?

A three-step operation

NuxGrid.com provides the web console for configuration, control, monitoring, and account communication. The Connector communicates with the server through outbound HTTPS requests. It does not require an inbound web server on the Connector machine.

NuxGrid.com does not place orders directly on the exchange: the Connector executes them from your machine.

03CAN THE BROWSER BE CLOSED?

Yes, the bot keeps running

Yes. Closing the browser does not automatically stop the local runner.

The local process can continue while the web console is closed, provided the Connector machine, local services, exchange connection, account state, and strategy configuration remain operational.

An offline status describes communication with NuxGrid.com. It does not by itself prove that the local runner has stopped.

An offline NuxGrid.com status describes communication with the server. It does not by itself prove that the local runner has stopped.

04IF NUXGRID.COM IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE

Local trading may continue

The Connector keeps the last known account trading state locally. If the account was active before a temporary server outage, the local runner may continue using its local configuration and exchange connection.

Remote commands, configuration changes, monitoring updates, and alerts may be unavailable or delayed. If the last known state was suspended, the local runner remains dormant.

The Connector may continue with the last valid local state or configuration it knows when the required conditions remain available.

05WHERE ARE EXCHANGE CREDENTIALS STORED?

Encrypted credentials on your machine

Exchange credentials are encrypted before delivery from the browser. The Connector decrypts them locally, validates them directly with the exchange, and stores the validated values on the Connector machine.

Plaintext credentials are not included in the normal strategy configuration or telemetry payload. This should not be described as zero-knowledge security or as an absolute guarantee that keys can never be accessed. The local credential file is protected by operating-system permissions, but it is not encrypted at rest by NuxGrid itself.

06WHAT MUST REMAIN OPERATIONAL?

Dependencies to keep in mind

Local execution reduces dependence on an open browser, but it does not remove dependence on the machine, its operating system, its network, the exchange, valid API access, or correct configuration.

NuxGrid is Bitcoin-first, although the live configuration accepts broader market symbols. The current live adapters support Bitkub, Binance, OKX, and Bitstamp.
