But how do they work and why are they so popular among crypto newbies and OGs?
Cryptocurrency trading bots can be of use for the automatization of trading strategies. Meanwhile, the segment of trading bots is over-saturated with scammers, so finding legit ones isn’t an easy task at all.
What are crypto trading bots?
Crypto trading bots are software mechanisms that place and execute orders on crypto trading platforms on behalf of their users in an automated manner. As a result, users don't need to check the market dynamics manually.
Reliable crypto trading bots are sophisticated applications like wallets, exchanges and so on. Some of them directly access blockchain nodes like Binance Smart Chain node, Ethereum node, Bitcoin node, Polygon node and so on.
Typically, a user needs to set up the range when the trading bot is active (e.g. between $33,000 and $35,000 for BTC/USDT pair), to customize the intervals (e.g. $1,000 interval would mean trading bot monitors reaching $33,000, $34,000 and $35,000 levels), and to fuel it with a certain sum of money (required to place the orders). Once this is done, bot starts buying crypto ‘at lows’ and selling it maximally close to the upper border of this or that interval.
Thus, trading bot scans the price fluctuations of a certain trading pair. If it is activated for the futures trading pair, it also checks the ration between short and long positions.
GetBlock joined many long-term partnerships with crypto trading bots’ teams. Within the collaborations, bots work with the BSC node, Tron node, and so on. Similar services are delivered to decentralized gaming platforms, multi-currency wallets interested in connecting to Binance Smart Chain public nodes or other mainstream smart contract platforms.
Why are crypto trading bots popular
Crypto trading bots gained massive popularity due to its intuitive interfaces, easy usage, and high potential rewards. While using crypto trading bots, crypto enthusiasts are totally free from ‘heavy lifting’ as these AI-powered instruments execute orders in an automated manner.
Tech-savvy users can write their own crypto trading bot. This takes advanced skills in Python, JavaScript, Go or other top programming languages. Once ‘home-brewed’ crypto trading bot is up and running, it should be connected to some exchange via API or directly deployed to the blockchain. Therefore, trading bots can’t work without a reliable connection to one or many nodes including public nodes BSC in shared or dedicated modes.
