[Setup using Cloud PC - Hyonix ($5 a month)](/decoder-farmer/initial-setup/setup-using-cloud-pc-hyonix-usd5-a-month.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

Go to our [beta-channel](https://discord.com/channels/925207817923743794/1321959323517190165) - download and install the build in there.&#x20;

After the farmer is downloaded, go to <https://www.asterdex.com/en/api-management> to get your API key and API Secret.

Click on "**Perp DEX**" in the sidebar in the downloaded farmer, and enter in your API Keys on top.&#x20;

***

**Delta Neutral Mode**\
In this mode, you can open both long and short positions simultaneously.\
The positions are held for a configurable time (default: 2–6 minutes), after which both are closed. This allows for neutral exposure - generating trading volume without losing money to price movements, since you are both long and short at the same time.

You can choose from the following coins to trade: **BTC, ETH, SOL, and ASTER**.

Additionally, there is an **Execution Strategy** option:

* **Market Order**
* **Limit Order**

Limit orders are automatically set by the farmer. While they reduce fees, they may also introduce timing differences when establishing the delta-neutral positions.

If you’re not a fan of the Delta Neutral Position, you can use the same setup but choose a single direction - either **long** or **short -** based on your conviction and current market conditions.

You can also set your TP and SL % if you are choosing 1 direction.&#x20;
