Bots don't predict markets. They follow rules you set. If the rules are wrong — or fit the wrong market — the bot keeps following them straight into a loss. This guide gives you the clarity to avoid that.
Places buy and sell orders at set price intervals. Profits from price bouncing up and down inside a range.
Buys in fixed intervals regardless of price, averaging your cost over time. Sells when a target is hit.
A one-sided grid that only buys dips and sells above them — no upper price cap needed.
Before starting any bot, look at the last 2–4 weeks. Is price trending up? Ranging sideways? Falling? Your bot choice depends entirely on this answer.
Sideways → Grid Bot. Slow downtrend or dip-buying → DCA Bot. Gentle uptrend with pullbacks → Infinity Bot. No bot fits every condition — that's the key insight.
For Grid: use a wider range than you think you need. For DCA: start with a small position size and more safety orders. For Infinity: don't over-leverage the base amount. Less is safer when you're learning.
Check in every 1–2 days. If market conditions shift significantly, stop the bot and reassess. Bots need supervision, not babysitting — but not silence either.

Bots are tools, not magic. A hammer doesn't build a house by itself — the builder needs to know when and where to swing it.
Start with one bot, on one pair, with a small amount. Learn how it behaves in different conditions before scaling up. The traders who do well with bots aren't the ones who automate the most — they're the ones who understand what they've automated.
The next level is learning how to combine bots, set stop-losses within bot strategies, and read charts well enough to identify market phases early. But that starts here — with understanding the basics deeply.
