# Deploy a Trading Strategy Live

Deploying a trading strategy live in HyperTrade allows you to connect your strategy to a real exchange account via API keys and let it trade automatically. This process involves creating or selecting a strategy, configuring its parameters (assets, timeframe, risk settings, and max open trades), and then activating it in the Live Strategies module. Once deployed, you can monitor its performance, open positions, and live trade data directly from the dashboard.
