Just programmed my crypto-trade bot

[Tradewitharty]

I just programmed my crypto-trade bot who send me a signal whenever a trader from the leadboard of my exchange: open/close, increase/decrease his position. I've made some insane results for the past 2 weeks. I wanted to know what people who are more experienced than me in trading think about it?

Could you explain this further? It sound weird that an exchange let you see all of this data about other users? and if it does... why create a bot when I would imagine that an exchange providing a leaderboard and such data would directly allow you to copytrade other individuals in the first place.

As to what I think about it, well... past performance of a trader does not guarantee anything in the future. The market volatility remains regardless of whom you're copytrading from. October's 10th's crash shows exactly how one could easily lose everything, especially when playing with leverage.

I am thinking of nothing more than thinking that you might be lying. You have insane positive results in trading since last 2 weeks but I do not believe you. It would be good if you can just prove me wrong that you are right. Why not screenshot your daily gain on the exchange and post it on this forum?

If you do not post a positive PnL, I will say you might be looking for people that you can recommend a scam bot. Scam bots are common this year.

"Hey look, I made a money printing machine that will make me so rich, but then I need to let you (the public) know about this so you can give me an opinion on how it works" " Oh, while you are at it, you also get rich using my bot"

Ooh wow, how generous of you Mr stranger. We need more people like you!

Is it about copy trading or just another bot? I could not find any leaderboard or something in binance or in my local exchange, so your bot is specialized for your favourite exchange alone? Every dev must be amazed on seeing the final results of their own bot but in reality we are getting totally different results and this way, I can get what you meant by 'insane results'.

2 weeks of time for testing must be too narrow window, for example for testing a BTCUSD kind of market considering its usual volatile nature. So, do not rush for a self conclusion. Test more and share your experience and may provide vouch copy so that, traders from this community will test and share real experience.

It's up to you to program what crypto trading bot you develop, it sounds and looks strange too, if you want to try cheating don't come here, look elsewhere, Even ordinary people know, trading bots are generally connected to exchanges and through software automatically execute the buying and selling of crypto assets on exchanges, usually called APIs. Crypto trading bots work automatically, so what kind of bot do you develop?

Whether you want to offer free bots and promise big profits with full API access or plan to program error codes for those you manage to trick, I think you are a scam that you should be wary of.

 That’s a fair question, and I get why it might sound unusual at first. The bot is essentially similar to copy trading. Some exchanges expose aggregated or permission-based performance data (such as strategy metrics, public PnL stats, or signal feeds), which makes it possible to mirror trading behavior without directly accessing anyone’s private account or personal information.
The reason for using a bot instead of a built-in copy-trade feature is flexibility and risk control. The bot applies predefined rules position sizing, stop-losses, leverage limits, and timing rather than blindly copying every trade. That way, it can filter trades and manage risk more conservatively than most native copy-trade systems.

And I completely agree with your last point: past performance never guarantees future results. Market volatility affects everyone, regardless of who you’re copying. Events like the October 10 crash are a good reminder of how quickly losses can occur, especially with leverage. The bot doesn’t eliminate risk it just automates execution and risk parameters. Capital protection and discipline are still key.

you know, OP, this is just my opinion and I’m not entirely sure, but it feels like you aren't telling the truth. If what you’re saying were true, you should have at least shown some kind of proof here regarding this topic—something to show that you actually programmed that trading bot you’re talking about.

Anyone can claim the things you’ve mentioned here without proof. Besides, even if what you’re saying is true, I would still prefer to do normal trading where I’m the one personally managing the activity on my actual trades in whatever exchange I choose to use.

It’s closer to copy trading than a typical “black box” bot. It doesn’t rely on a public leaderboard, and it’s not limited to one exchange either the logic is exchange-agnostic as long as the data is available.
And I agree with you on the testing window. Two weeks is short, especially for something like BTC with high volatility. I’m not drawing final conclusions from it just sharing early observations.

Everyone will always get different results depending on risk settings, timing, and market conditions, which is why I’m not overselling anything. More testing over time makes sense.

If it's closer to copy trading for me, I'm going to choose to use the copy trading instead of using your bot why?
How can I trust your bot? You don't even have an open source to let us review how safe your bot is.

There are lots of well-known trading bots out there that can tweak, just like your bot does, risk settings, timing, and market conditions.

How can you compare these well-known bots like Cryptohopper, 3Commas, and Hummingbot?
We do also have free and open-source crypto trading bots that you can tweak and add your own strategy to for free, like Gekko, Zenbot, and the most updated one Freqtrade?

I get the skepticism, especially with how many scam bots are around lately. That’s fair. I’m not going to post screenshots of my exchange account though those are easy to fake and don’t really prove much anyway. The recent gains are over a short period and I’m not claiming anything is guaranteed. Anyone interested should test things themselves with small size or demo first and decide if it makes sense for them. If it’s not for you, no worries at all.

That’s a fair point. If native copy trading works for you, honestly, I don’t see a reason to switch just for the sake of it. I’m not saying this bot is “better” than copy trading across the board.
The way I see it, this bot sits somewhere between straight copy trading and a normal strategy bot. It doesn’t blindly mirror every trade, and it’s not trying to be a full-blown platform either. It just adds some extra logic around risk, filtering, and execution. That’s really the only difference.

On the trust/open-source part I agree with you. Open source is a big plus, and this isn’t open source, so I wouldn’t expect anyone to just take my word for it. That’s why I always say: test it yourself with demo or very small money and judge it based on what it actually does, not on screenshots or claims.
As for tools like 3Commas, Cryptohopper, Hummingbot, Freqtrade, etc., they’re solid and well-known for a reason. This isn’t meant to compete with all of that or replace them. It’s more narrow and opinionated, and honestly probably not for everyone.

If someone wants full transparency and total control over the code, then open-source bots like Freqtrade make way more sense. This is just another approach, not a must-use solution. People should stick with whatever they’re most comfortable with.

You think trading is that possible and so easily and being that cheaper to use a trading bot to get an insane result?
Look here, this is not that possible maybe there are other things you could be having a target at as not with having insane results in relation with the bot. However, bot nowadays could be that varying in given out accurate information, of course bot could likely be implemented at a cooling moment where you could be having a little result, maybe take breakfast or launch while trading.

Why don't you just use copy trade from the exchange themselves. They got more complete metrics and can copy better.
I don't even think your trade bot is tested thoroughly, have 100% uptime, and doesn't get API limited. Been there done that copy trading from exchange always superior frankly speaking.

As far as I know native copy trading also have option to adjust strategy, so it's not pure copy trading as well.  The concern here is accuracy and responsiveness of the bot. Since native copy trading built into their system, they definitely could develop it better.

You might be more experienced than me but if that bot of yours works for you and making you money. I will keep that to myself and definitely there will be no other people that shall be more profitable to that strategy that you have discovered with that bot.

It's normal to get that skepticism in the community because of how many of those scammers that have offered bots that have said to be profitable.
