Why Review Your Bots? Once you've set up your Signal Bot, it's crucial to regularly monitor its performance. Keeping track of signals, bot statuses, and alerts will help you adjust your strategies and stay on top of trading opportunities. This guide walks you through how to review and manage your Signal Bots in 3Commas.

Status - it can be:
Waiting - the bot is waiting for signals; no active signals or trades at the moment;
Active - the signal/-s received, there are active trades;
Signals - the signal/-s received, waiting for your decision; the signals will wait for your approval ONLY if you enable the toggle to Receive the signal execution request via email (p.9.f above).
