3.2. Auto trading (using bots)
In this lecture, we will talk more about auto trading with the help of bots.
Auto trading is an integrated approach, when all your trading operations with a trading account are carried out through a specialized program.
Today, the market offers a variety of programs for traders in the form of robots.
With the help of trading robots, traders can switch their activities to an automatic mode. But to get a stable profit, it is important to track market changes and take them into account to set up the bot algorithm.
Bots are automated computer programs designed to perform specific tasks with minimal human intervention.
It is also important to know that creating them requires a certain level of skill, although the services below greatly simplify the work.
There are two main types of bots that are used in trading:
Grid bots are automated trading tools that use grid trading, i.e. a trading system that allows you to profit by placing a series of long or short orders at predetermined intervals around a set price, creating a trading grid.
DCA bots are automated trading bots that allow you to make automatic purchases of coins based on a given amount of investment and time intervals within a certain period, thereby reducing the impact of market volatility.
Today, large exchanges have built-in tools.
Cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin has announced the official launch of its trading bot feature. Users can use the KuCoin trading bot for free through the latest version of the KuCoin app, earning a stable passive income.
The following services offer advanced tools:
Pionex is a cryptocurrency trading platform offering a set of free trading bots. The service has prepared trading algorithms. It is also possible to customize your own. Pionex is available in the web interface and mobile application.
