Role Of Bots in Crypto Trading

| Updated on March 26, 2024

Out of thousands of fascinating features, the crypto market is worldwide famous because of its high volatility, which is the primary source of generating profit. If you have ever observed the market chart of any popular cryptocurrency, you might have noticed small-time fluctuations. Platforms offer you a scheduled and profitable bitcoin trading venture, and a trader does not need to spend hours to achieve their trading goals. The volatility attracts many people to the market, but not all can trade it profitably. That is why people are reading articles about how new technologies have improved bitcoin trading as this might benefit them.

Certain factors affect the market and result in fluctuation. Still, now there is no need to worry about it as trading bots are here to help you trade profitably by controlling your trades and analyzing the market for you. These trading bots are less time-consuming, do not require human intervention, and get to work until your order is executed. 

It also saves you from complicated mathematical calculations and keeps an eye on the crypto activities on exchanges all around the globe to minimize risk factors significantly. These bots get connected directly to sales manually or automatically (as per your settings) and then analyze market activities which help make smarter trading decisions. Start with basic strategies as if they suit you, then gradually go for advanced versions.      

Types of bots:

Various bots are available to choose from, and they all differ according to their functions. Some logical trading bots like MQT and other highly advanced bots like Robinhood work with even the slightest change in the market. Moreover, there are vehicles for both beginners and professionals in the shape of trading bots as there is no need for any expertise or knowledge, and you can directly buy a bot with complete training. 

Some provide a live training facility, where you can get complete knowledge of how it works on the spot. Some bots are very interactive, which helps in knowing market activities too and thus increases the chances of profit. The primary benefit of using a bot is that it does not require human intervention; it stays connected 24*7 to the exchange, works with minimal or no break in between, and trades automatically as per your requirements. 

How do they work?

It depends on the bot’s developer as every time, they bring out new versions with more efficient working tactics and strategies. Various factors are involved in their functioning, but none can be denied that they work on predefined algorithms which analyze market activities, give you trading recommendations based on these activities and execute your order at exchanges once you approve them.  

Let me explain to you an example to make it more straightforward. Imagine there are hypothetical bots for bitcoin and Ethereum, and both have a specific trading strategy. Whenever you ask for a trade recommendation in your account, their algorithm checks exchange activities, and then, based on that, it generates trading recommendations for you to choose from. 

Once you choose one of the recommendations, it generates another algorithm which is the action plan of the bot to execute your order based on a certain number of conditions like the market value at that time, your stop loss, etc. Once you choose it, the bot does the trading automatically without your human intervention and at a predefined time. 

As these bots are not restricted by time or market condition, they can buy and sell at either one or other on request as per your requirement. You may also ask them to place a sell order with a stop loss if any drop in value happens, which helps balance the loss.    

Withdrawals

Even though you can withdraw from the bot depending on which platform you buy it from, it also depends on the bot’s developer. There are some bots for which you can request for withdrawal of funds, but not all are like that, and if any, the withdrawal does not happen instantly as promised.  

Fee

Some of these bots do not charge any fee, but some, like crypto trading bot software, do, and thus, they result in a massive loss. If you have used manual trading before, these bots are time-consuming as they require you to always keep your eyes on them if you want to make any money. The more time they consume, the better they work but always remember there is a time and cost factor that directly affects your profit.   

Not for the unexperienced people

These bots are not suitable for those who are not confident in trading and don’t have complete knowledge about the market. These bots work on algorithms, and if you ask them to sell/buy when prices go up, it is a loss. Hence, if you want to buy a bot, go through its features entirely and if you find it unsuitable for you, then avoid getting trapped into any buying deal. If you want to use the bot, design your strategy according to the market conditions and let the bot do its job.
