A trading bot is an automated software program designed to assist traders in managing their cryptocurrency trades. These bots offer numerous advantages that can enhance trading strategies and potentially boost portfolio growth. Among the automated trading features we provide is the recurring buy function, which allows you to schedule regular purchases for up to 20 different digital currencies while customizing timing, frequency, amount, and asset allocation percentages.
