General Installation Guide

I. Architecture Overview

The Prime Spot Grid Trading Bot uses a Client-Server model:

Server (The Bot): Runs 24/7 on a VPS (Linux/Windows). It executes trades, manages the grid, and monitors your positions.
Client (The GUI): Runs on your personal computer. It connects to the Server to view status and change settings.

II. ⚠️ CRITICAL: Firewall & Port 8764

IMPORTANT: The Client connects to the Server via TCP Port 8764.
Depending on your cloud provider, you may need to open this port manually.

Cloud Provider	Action Required	Instruction
AWS EC2	🔴 Manual Open Required	You must add a rule to the Security Group to allow Custom TCP 8764. See EC2 Guide
Google Cloud (GCP) Microsoft Azure Oracle Cloud	🔴 Manual Open Required	The install script cannot bypass the external Cloud Firewall. GCP: Go to VPC Network → Firewall → Create Firewall Rule → Allow tcp:8764. Azure: Go to Networking → Add inbound port rule → 8764.
DigitalOcean Vultr / Linode Hetzner	🟢 Automatic	No action needed. These providers usually respect the internal OS firewall, which our script configures automatically.
