Crypto Trading Bot — Simple, Safe, Explainable Automation

Automate your plan with spot-only, rule-based bots. BitPanel integrates with top exchanges, enforces guardrails, and logs every decision for accountability.

What Is a Crypto Trading Bot?

A crypto trading bot is software that monitors cryptocurrency markets and automatically executes trades based on predefined rules. Instead of manually reacting to price movements, bots apply consistent logic across market conditions.

Most trading bots are designed to remove emotional decision-making by enforcing entry, exit, and risk rules — allowing strategies to operate 24/7 without constant supervision.

Secure Connections

Encrypted API keys (withdrawals disabled). Your funds remain on your exchange.

Rule Engine

Deterministic logic (RSI, DCA Grid, Bollinger) — no black-box execution.

Observability

Logs for every fill/exit, performance dashboards, and HODL vs strategy views.

How Crypto Trading Bots Work

1. Market Monitoring

Bots continuously monitor price action, indicators, and volatility across selected trading pairs and timeframes.

2. Rule Evaluation

When predefined conditions are met — such as oversold RSI levels or grid thresholds — the bot prepares a trade decision.

3. Automated Execution

Trades are executed automatically via exchange APIs, respecting position limits, cooldowns, and risk caps defined by the user.
