Settings
The Settings page is where you manage your exchange connections, configure email reports, adjust preferences, and access system tools.
Exchange Connections
Section titled “Exchange Connections”This is where you add, edit, and remove API credentials for your exchanges.
Aurono supports:
- Bitvavo — API key + API secret
- Kraken — API key + API secret
- Coinbase — Key Name + PEM private key
For each exchange you can:
- Test connection — verifies the API key works and shows your account status
- Edit — update credentials if you regenerate your API key
- Remove — disconnects the exchange from Aurono
For step-by-step setup instructions per exchange, see Connecting an Exchange.
Exchange Balances
Section titled “Exchange Balances”Shows your actual balances on each exchange compared to what your strategies need. Two things are compared:
- EUR: the total free and reserved capital across all strategies on that exchange, compared to the available EUR balance. If your strategies expect €200 but the exchange has €150, there’s a €50 shortfall.
- Crypto per asset: the positions your strategies hold (e.g. 0.005 BTC), compared to the available balance of that asset on the exchange. If a strategy wants to sell 0.005 BTC but the exchange only has 0.003 BTC available, that sell can’t execute.
This helps you quickly see whether your exchange balances match what Aurono expects. Shortfalls are highlighted with guidance — for example “Deposit €50 on Bitvavo” or “0.002 BTC short on Kraken”.
Email Reports
Section titled “Email Reports”Configure Aurono to send you regular summaries by email. You can choose:
- Daily — a report every morning
- Weekly — a report on a day of your choice
- Both — daily reports plus a weekly overview
Each report includes:
- Total portfolio value and change
- Per-strategy performance and P&L
- Trades executed in the period
- Missed opportunities (buy signals that couldn’t execute)
Setting up email reports
Section titled “Setting up email reports”Aurono sends email through your own email account using SMTP. The most common setup is with a Gmail account.
Step 1 — Create a Gmail App Password
Section titled “Step 1 — Create a Gmail App Password”Google does not allow apps to log in with your regular password. You need an App Password — a special 16-character password for Aurono.
- Go to myaccount.google.com/apppasswords
- Sign in with your Google account
- You may need to enable 2-Step Verification first (under Security) — App Passwords require it
- Under “App name”, type
Auronoand click Create - Google shows a 16-character password like
abcd efgh ijkl mnop - Copy this password and remove all spaces — it should become
abcdefghijklmnop - Save it somewhere safe — Google only shows it once
Step 2 — Fill in the settings
Section titled “Step 2 — Fill in the settings”In Aurono → Settings → Email Reports, fill in:
| Field | Value for Gmail |
|---|---|
| SMTP host | smtp.gmail.com |
| Port | 587 |
| Username | Your Gmail address (e.g. yourname@gmail.com) |
| Password | The App Password from step 1 — without spaces |
| Sender email | Same as your Gmail address |
| Recipient email | The address where you want to receive reports (can be the same or different) |
Step 3 — Choose frequency
Section titled “Step 3 — Choose frequency”- Daily — report sent every morning
- Weekly — report sent on your chosen day
- Both — a daily report plus a weekly summary
For weekly reports, pick the day and hour you prefer.
Step 4 — Test and save
Section titled “Step 4 — Test and save”- Click Test — Aurono sends a test email to your recipient address
- Check your inbox (and spam folder) for the test message
- If it arrives, click Save to enable the reports
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- “Authentication failed” — double-check the App Password. Make sure there are no spaces and you’re using the App Password, not your regular Gmail password.
- “Connection refused” — verify the SMTP host is
smtp.gmail.comand port is587. - Email lands in spam — mark it as “not spam” once. Future emails should arrive in your inbox.
- Using a different email provider (Outlook, Yahoo, etc.) — you’ll need your provider’s SMTP settings. Search for “[your provider] SMTP settings” for the correct host and port.
Appearance
Section titled “Appearance”Timezone
Section titled “Timezone”By default, Aurono displays all timestamps in UTC. You can select your local timezone here — all timestamps across the Dashboard, Activity, Strategy Detail, and charts will update immediately.
The timezone preference is stored on the device and persists across browser sessions.
System
Section titled “System”Operating mode
Section titled “Operating mode”Aurono has two modes:
- Shadow — evaluates strategies and records decisions, but does not place orders on the exchange
- Live — evaluates strategies and places real orders
Switching from shadow to live requires confirmation. Switching back to shadow is immediate.
Evaluation log
Section titled “Evaluation log”Shows the history of every strategy evaluation — when it ran, what the outcome was (evaluated, skipped, error), and why. Useful for diagnosing gaps in evaluation or understanding why a strategy hasn’t traded.
Manual evaluation
Section titled “Manual evaluation”Triggers an immediate evaluation of all active strategies, outside the normal schedule. Useful for testing after parameter changes.
Data Management
Section titled “Data Management”Rebuild projections
Section titled “Rebuild projections”Reprocesses every event in the event log to reconstruct all projections (strategy state, capital balances, portfolio snapshots, trade state). Use this if data looks inconsistent or after a correction.
This is a safe operation — it only rebuilds derived data, never modifies the event log itself.
Download logs
Section titled “Download logs”Downloads the last 48 hours of system logs as a text file. Useful for troubleshooting or sharing with support when something unexpected happens.
Shows the current Aurono version and a brief description of the product.
