To switch a Pionex bot to another trading pair, close the existing bot through its running-order details, review the asset-settlement choices shown, and then create a new bot for the new pair. Do not assume that every bot type sells assets or returns funds in exactly the same way.

How to stop the existing bot
- Open Pionex and go to the page that lists your running bots or orders.
- Open the details for the exact bot you want to stop.
- Choose the current Stop or Close action shown for that bot.
- Read the confirmation screen carefully. Check the assets, amounts, conversion or settlement choices, estimated fees and destination account.
- Confirm only when the result matches what you intend, then wait for the closing process to finish.
Button names and settlement options can vary by bot type, region and app version. The current confirmation screen is more reliable than an old screenshot or a 2021 instruction that refers to a power button.
Starting the new pair
A trading pair is part of the bot’s market and order settings. Switching pairs is therefore normally a new strategy, not a simple rename of the running bot. After the old bot closes and the required balance is available, choose the new pair, select the bot type, review its parameters and create a new order.
| Before closing | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Open orders and current position | The bot may hold one or both assets in the pair |
| Settlement or conversion choice | It determines which asset you receive after closure |
| Fees and spread | Closing transactions can affect the final amount |
| Destination account | You need the funds in the account used to create the new bot |
| New pair minimum | The next bot’s minimum depends on its pair and settings |
If the bot does not finish closing
During rapid market movement, an order can take longer to process. The Pionex bot error guide advises waiting and contacting support if the closing process remains stuck. Provide the account email or phone and a screenshot of the order to help support investigate.

Frequently asked questions
Can I change the trading pair of a running Pionex bot?
Generally, switching to another pair means closing the existing bot and creating a new bot for the new pair. Check the current controls for your specific bot because editable parameters vary by product.
What happens to the assets when I stop a bot?
The result depends on the bot type and the settlement choices displayed before you confirm. Review the asset amounts, any conversion choice, estimated fees and the destination account shown on the closing screen.
Does stopping a bot sell every position automatically?
Do not assume it does. Some closing flows can present choices, while other bot types may have product-specific settlement behaviour. The confirmation screen for your bot is the authority for that transaction.
Where do the funds appear after the bot closes?
Released funds normally return to the account associated with that bot, but account structure varies by product. Confirm the destination shown before closing and check the relevant account after processing finishes.
What should I do if a bot is stuck while closing?
Pionex support advises allowing time for processing during sharp price movement. If the order remains stuck, contact Pionex Support with your account information and a screenshot of the order.
