How it started

My name is Maksym. I have written before about my experience with trading bots, when a small sum on a crypto exchange turned into $1,150 of clean profit in a month. I promised myself I would come back to the subject if something worth a separate text happened. It did, and on a considerably larger scale. Having put $2,643 into four bots, over two months I withdrew $5,886 of clean profit, which is almost plus 223%.

A trading bot is a program that buys and sells cryptocurrency by rules you set: you specify the price range, the buying step and the moment profit is taken. After that the bot does its work without weekends and without emotions. My favourite COMBO bot works on futures with leverage. It places a grid of orders and moves it after the price if the market rises. Put simply, it buys cheaper, sells dearer and repeats while the move lasts. Bitsgap is the service that develops these bots and offers them to users for a fee according to a tariff plan.

Four bots

In April, starting my tests, I began cautiously with one bot on bitcoin and only then added other coins. This time I decided to act more boldly, and on 10 July I launched four COMBO bots at once in long positions with tenfold leverage: on BTC, ETH, SOL and XRP. The logic is simple, that the more bots there are the greater the potential profit, and all of the listed coins usually move after bitcoin. I distributed the sum as $1,237 to BTC, $681 to ETH, $307 to SOL and $418 to XRP.

An important nuance is that a futures COMBO bot is worth opening on no more than half the sum in the account. The rest stays as a cushion for cross margin, which supports the position when the price moves against the bot and lets it buy more on dips. So to run bots on $2,643 I had to keep about $5,286 on the exchange.

A quiet month, then a jump

The first month looked dull. Until 18 August the profit was minimal, roughly $690, and frankly I had begun to doubt whether this undertaking with four bots had been a good idea. The commission was being charged while there was no noticeable movement. Then everything changed in a single day. The chart, which had crawled almost horizontally for two months, went sharply upward, and within weeks the profit grew more than eightfold.

On 19 August the US Treasury announced that it was doubling the volume of long-term government bond buybacks, from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation, and that the decision would run from 9 September to 4 November. The same day the American securities regulator proposed a new framework of rules for the crypto market.

For an ordinary person that sounds like news from a parallel world of finance, but the market reacted instantly. The yield on long bonds went down, and with it the risk of holding assets such as bitcoin became cheaper. Within a few hours it jumped roughly 8%, from $64,500 to almost $70,000, and traders betting on a fall lost between $1.5 and $3 billion in a day. By 25 August bitcoin was already trading above $80,000. I guessed nothing deliberately. My bots were simply already in long positions and the move played in my favour. At the beginning of September the Treasury carried out another such operation, this time for $12.5 billion, and at the time of writing BTC holds around $79,000.

Taking the profit

Unlike April, when I withdrew money in parts of $250 to $300 as soon as it accumulated, this time I decided to wait for the end of the story. I stopped the bots on each coin myself when I saw the position was already well into profit, and I did it gradually.

The results by coin:

• BTC: $1,237 invested, about $2,856 of profit, the best of the four.
• XRP: $418 invested, $1,545 of profit, which the author calls a pleasant surprise.
• ETH: $681 invested, $1,356 of profit.
• SOL: $307 invested, $128 of profit, the smallest of the four despite moving first.

As soon as I closed the last bot, I withdrew all the profit to a wallet in a single transfer.

On the risks

“Almost all of my profit turned out to be the consequence of a single news day. Had the Treasury decision not appeared, or had the market reacted the other way, my bots with the same leverage would have gone into loss just as quickly. Ten times leverage amplifies any move, up and down, and it is not one-sided insurance against losses.”
