Hello!
That does not sound silly  

The bot is VERY easy to run. Even wich coins are best to trade are suggested (if you use the statistics button)!
You don´t need knowledge in trading.
I did not know anything when I started back in january.

Here Gunthar explains how to run the latest version:

Don´t be scared. You will get all the help you need to successful run the bot.
We have a great and helpful community and Gunthar is extremely helpful as well!

But if you get the time it might be of help if you read through this whole thread since there are the different strategies explaind. So it´s easier to make a decision which strategy you want to use (if you are unsure full Bollinger works always good)
