Cryptocurrency trading can be time consuming, whether you are an amateur or a professional trader, you must always be close to your computer or smartphone to follow the evolution of the market in order to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Without forgetting the differences in time zones that sometimes force you to get up early or stay up very late to make your trades at the best time. Historical markets have already understood this problem and a multitude of trading "bots" already exist.
Many services now offer automated trading systems adapted to cryptocurrencies but it is not easy to find your way around. Each bots service has its pros and cons. We will see in this article which are the best Bitcoin trading bots in 2020.
1- Kryll.io
The Kryll.io platform allows you to create crypto trading strategies without any programming knowledge thanks to a visual interface where you can move blocks with a "drag & drop" system. You can find basic blocks of shares such as buy/sell actions or technical blocks (RSI, Ichimoku, MACD, Candle pattern). This feature is aimed at both amateur and professional traders who will find on the platform the necessary tools to create trading strategies.
The platform also offers a marketplace of strategies already created by traders, tested and rated by the community, which can be used by anyone in just a few clicks. The creator of the strategy will then be remunerated for each use of its strategy thanks to a rental system.
A "Smart Trading" feature is also present and allows to set up "Stop Loss/Take Profit" actions, "Smart buy" a dynamic order that does not buy as long as a crypto goes down to optimize its entry or the "Smart Sell" which on the contrary does not sell as long as the crypto goes up to optimize its exit (sell).
As far as pricing is concerned, this is a pay-per-use system (0.0333%/day of the current capital, e.g. for a $200 strategy = $2/month), no subscription is required. A KRL token holding system also allows you to benefit from discounts on platform fees (up to -95%!).
