In my personal view bots into altcoins trading seems to be profitable to some extent, because depending on the price variation it cannot make the trade moves same as that an human mind does. When it comes to negotiation users offer based on requirement, but bots function as preprogrammed.
As a non bot user on trading or in any altcoin i do not consider using bots. But I know that bot is a programed bots that may have a trading base on the set function of it. But i think using it as a main decision maker on your trading may cause you on losing bitcoin. Because in trading it requires thinking and logical analysis where you need to decide based on what you do and what you need no like the bots where it have already a specific job or goal or what others called program.i'd like to think of bots mostly as two things:
1) a way to make things faster, specially about some of these platforms that are pretty slow. for example opening poloniex and letting all the charts and stuff load and to place or cancel and order it taking a lot of time but clicking a button in my bot is only half a second.
2) run some special strategies, this part is not as useful as the other in my opinion but there are times that you want to do some quick analysis and some calculation and then execute some trades. a bot can do it fast and automatic without needing you bring up a calculator!
