I don't have much time to keep an eye on the market all day, so I’m thinking about making a bot for myself. I’ve been using a rebalancing bot with a 12-hour method. Do you think that’s a good approach? I could also try a 4-hour method since the alts are moving so quickly right now, but those fees can really eat into profits. So, what's better, sticking to the 12-hour rebalance or going for percentage-based methods or something else? I’d love to hear your thoughts on what works best in these fast-paced markets. Appreciate any input!

Bots aren’t exactly consistent because the market is highly unpredictable, and the experience can vary greatly from trader to trader. So, I can’t really answer your question definitively. The best approach might be to try it out yourself and see how it performs for you. Then, maybe you can share your results with us - whether it turns out profitable or not.

That is the secret of trading. That the houses promote it a lot, they want you to do very short term and high frequency trading because every time you make a trade they get paid. And every time they get paid they eat your potential profitability. Those who make money with trading are a minimal percentage and those you see promoting it earn more from what the houses pay them for advertising than with the trades. Get out of trading and move into long-term investing.

You said the fee is eating the profits, which means this is not a good bot, for if it is a good bot, you will have enough profits good enough to sustain the fees and you will still be happy with your take-home, especially when the market is nicely volatile. It's good you ask and I can only advise you to go for long-term trading strategies, bots work best for that and it is no stress for you. The 4H and 12H are cool too but it depends on how you code the system. If it is to trade the timeframes based on a single candle (each candle), you might have enough issues with it. But if it is to trade the entire pattern, it will be fine. Make it trade trend or swing strategies and you will be fine.

If your rebalancing strategy requires a lot of daily trading, choosing a platform with low fees will help you a lot in increasing your profits. In other words, if your problem is with fees, choosing a platform with low fees is the best option.

Yep, lots of exchanges out there that bring fees down a bit for holding their appropriate token (Binance comes to mind mostly). OP, stay strong and choose what would suit you best.

With this altcoin season, it's better for your trading portfolio if you trade with Spot and set up your sale price like x2 from your entry, or more, you have to check price chart of each coin, use 1-week or 1-month candle and find your exit price. At least x2 if these coins did not pump x2 yet. You can check your portfolio once a day to see whether your sale order was filled, if it was filled, you can purchase a next coin in your Watch List and repeat your sale, x2 from entry. You can do it very simple in an altcoin season, and try to choose coins with high trading volume, because they will have less risk of be delisted from exchanges. You can try Gunbot, they have an announcement thread in bitcoin talk.

If it was a bot that promise a consistent return, then yeah I will doubt that but what he have there is only said to rebalance things up. I think that one is still possible and doesn't sound too good to be true. Some trading bots might be plug-and-play, that even a newbie can get them running but if not, then yeah it needs a good experience to be able to operate and benefit on them. It is okay anyway, if you can't answer his question very well but as long as you still have some insights, that might still be fine. The one that you said of trying it out and see how it goes, is a good response actually if we don't know how things plays out. That should give an answer to us and we literally can find a way on how to improve things later on on our own, if in case things didn't go as planned. If it turned out to be profitable, I'm afraid to say that they might solo the gains/knowledge but this can be the result of them not finding a better answer in the forum, so there is no need for us to get angry by that. There might still some who are kind enough to do the opposite thing but if in case it is not profitable, usually both types of people are going to let everyone else know it and hoping they can get another help.
