I spent over 18 months building a crypto trading bot

I started building an automated crypto trading bot back in June 2024. After going through several strategies that didn't perform well enough, I finally landed on one in August last year that's been consistently averaging around 4% profit per month after fees.

The reality:

• The first year (and kind of still) was anything but passive with constant strategy changes, debugging, rebuilding
• You need real discipline to not tinker with it once it's working
• 4%/month sounds great if you have a large capital. Not so much if you are working with 100 dollars.

What actually made the difference:

• Proper back testing before going live with each strategy
• Strict risk management (stop losses, position sizing)
• Accepting that most strategies will eventually stop working

Happy to answer questions about the journey, the algorithm itself or anything else!

I am posting the link to my site here, where I am running the bot. All the bot's signals are freely accessible and I am happy to divulge all details from my strategy so if anyone wants to build something similar, I am an open book. Also, for the paid plan you can use it for free for a month with the code: REDDIT
