What is a Trading Bot?
A
trading bot is an automated software program that executes trades on your behalf based on predefined strategies and algorithms. Think of it as your personal trading assistant that works 24/7 without emotions, fatigue, or human error.

1.
Market Analysis: The bot continuously monitors price movements, volume, and technical indicators

4.
Risk Management: Stop-loss and take-profit orders are managed automatically
