# 15. Using the Built-In Perpbot Strategies (Aster X1)

Perpbot ships with two presets:

* **Aster X1 Low** – Lower risk, smaller compounding.
* **Aster X1 High** – Higher risk, more aggressive compounding.

Internally, these use:

* Different **leverage** settings.
* Different **percentage of balance per trade**.

#### 15.1 Turning Automation On/Off

In private chat:

1. Use `/start` to open the main menu.
2. Tap **“Toggle Automation”**:
   * **ON** → Perpbot is now set to automate globally (custom strategies and if Perpbot strategies are enabled)
   * **OFF** → Perpbot does not automate at all.

#### 15.2 Enabling/Disabling AsterX1 Low & High

In the UI:

1. Tap **Aster X1 (Low Risk)** to open the Low preset.
2. Use the toggle button to **enable/disable** that preset for your account.
3. Repeat for **Aster X1 (High Risk)** if you want to use it.

Only **enabled** presets will trade on your account.
