How to Setup MongoDB for Deriv Go Trader

Deriv Go Trader uses a database to store your trade history, performance analytics, and bot configurations locally or in the cloud. We recommend using MongoDB Atlas for a free, secure, and always-on cloud database.

Option A: MongoDB Atlas (Cloud - Recommended)

This is the easiest way to get started. You don't need to install anything on your computer.

1. Create an Account

Go to MongoDB.com and register for a free account.

2. Create a Cluster

1. Once logged in, click "Build a Database".
2. Select the "M0 Shared (Free)" tier.
3. Choose a provider (AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure) close to your location.
4. Click "Create".

3. Setup User Access

1. You will be asked to create a database user.
2. Enter a Username (e.g., trader) and a Password.
3. IMPORTANT: Write down this password! You will need it for the connection string.
4. Click "Create User".

4. Network Access (Allow IP)

1. Scroll down to "Where would you like to connect from?".
2. Select "My Local Environment" (adds your current IP) or "Allow Access from Anywhere" (easier for dynamic IPs).
   • Note: "Allow Access from Anywhere" means 0.0.0.0/0. While convenient, it's slightly less secure than whitelisting specific IPs.
3. Click "Add Entry" and then "Finish and Close".

5. Get Connection String

1. Go back to your dashboard (Database deployment).
2. Click "Connect".
3. Select "Drivers".
4. You will see a connection string like this: mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster0.abcd.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority
5. Copy this string.

6. Configure Deriv Go Trader

1. Paste the connection string into the MongoDB URI field in the Deriv Go Trader setup.
2. Replace <password> with the actual password you created in Step 3.

Option B: Local MongoDB (Advanced)

If you prefer to keep everything offline, you can install MongoDB Community Edition on your machine.

1. Download MongoDB Community Server from the official website.
2. Install it following the instructions for your OS.
3. Once running, your connection string is typically: mongodb://localhost:27017/deriv-trader

That's it! Your database is now ready to log your profitable trades.
