I heard almost everyone are using bots these days
not really!
i have a trading bot but i only use it for specific tasks or strategies, i don't really use it for trading per se. and you don't NEED a trading bot to trade and make profit. you can use the web interface of the exchanges to trade anything you want and still make a lot of profit but as long as you know how trading itself works. a bot is not going to even be useful if you don't know that already and don't have at least some trading experience.
Exactly! One thing about this market is that with a very great knowledge, you can always do your trading all by yourself. Asides from day trading, you do not have to spend your whole time in front of a chart as you can easily make do with swing trading patterns which can be quite effective for those who may not have much time to dish out for trading.
However, it is still not a bad idea though, if he still wants to use bot, since he already know some few details needed to know, but my advice would be to use something that has been very well used by high esteemed members and not just some rating given by some newbies.
