What is a Custom Trading Bot?

Unlike generic bots (3Commas, Coinrule), custom bots execute YOUR proprietary strategy, precisely on the selected markets and exchanges.

The 5 Popular Types

1. Arbitrage Bot (DEX โ†” CEX)

Profit from price differences between Binance/Uniswap. Requires a minimum capital of $10k for significant ROI.

2. Grid Bot

Buy/sell at pre-set levels. Highly effective in range-bound volatile markets.

3. DCA Bot

Automated dollar-cost averaging. Recommended for long-term holdings.

4. Sniper Bot

Purchase new tokens within seconds of launch. High-risk, high-reward.

5. Copy-Trading Bot

Replicate trades from master accounts. Ideal for beginners.

Costs & Timeline

  • Smart contract setup: โ‚ฌ4,000-15,000
  • Complete custom bot: starting at โ‚ฌ3,000
