In this video, we’re going to learn about trading bots, and how these 24/7 programs are used to trade crypto. A trading bot is a computer program that automatically completes tasks on a cryptocurrency exchange. They are programmed with a limited set of rules that dictate the variety of tasks a bot has permission to complete.

When a trading bot is programmed to buy or sell crypto at a particular time or price, human traits like intuition and gut-feelings are removed from the equation. Several online services help users connect with trading bots. Online portals and marketplaces give users the option to purchase or rent a bot from a botsmith for a recurring monthly fee.

Additionally, users curious about programming their own trading bots have a wealth of online resources. However, the learning curve can be difficult for less-technical crypto users. There are potential use cases that can cast trading bots in a favorable light.

They are helpful for rote or repetitive tasks, and portfolio rebalances that can execute high-accuracy or 24/7 trading. Remember bots don’t need to rest. So they can perform smart order routing, deploy simultaneous trading strategies, or simply reduce the capacity for human error.

But after all that’s said and done, using trading bots can be risky and challenging. Sometimes bots stop performing as expected, which can lead to losses, destroying one’s acquired profits. Now you understand that trading bots can help lighten the workload for traders comfortable taking a step back from their transactions.
