The single most important advice it gives: use paper trading before going live. I skipped this step the first time and it cost me. Running a strategy on fake money for two weeks tells you things about your setup that no amount of backtesting will show you.

What the guide covers properly:

- API key connection (where most beginners get confused)

- Coin selection logic

- Buy and sell rule configuration

- The Marketplace for additional strategies

The pricing tiers are also explained which helps you understand what you actually need versus what is upselling.

How long did you paper trade before going live? Or did you skip straight to real money like I did the first time?

The paper trading point can't be stressed enough. I skipped it on my first setup too and the strategy that looked fine on backtesting behaved very differently on live data. The main reason is slippage and execution timing. Backtesting assumes perfect fills at the signal price. Live trading doesn't. Two weeks of paper trading will show you whether your buy and sell triggers are actually hitting where you expect them to.
