Trading manually goes a bit convenient for me. Bots make work easier undoubtedly but yet there might be some minor changes which we would need to speculate on our own in order to gain some profits from the minor price changes.
To me, using a bot to execute our trades would be profitable for mid range or long range trading but for short term, I prefer to trade by myself. I usually trade on the price of bitcoins and $100 to $300 gap also makes me earn some profits which is actually a bit instant because it does not take time for bitcoins to move by 300$ price intervals and this is where I find my spot to quickly enter and exit the markets.
Topic: How do you trade? At the exchange? Platform? Bots? (Read 859 times)
I am trading manual because I don't feel right to trade using a bot. I want to explore how to analyze the market, and I want to learn more about trading because with having more information about trading, I can have more skills in trading that will be useful for me to choose the coin. I know that it will not easy, but I can accept that as long as I can find out how to analyze the market with good. But right now, I don't trade too often because I am waiting for a good time to buy and sell by analyzing each coin. And I can not get the coin, and I will stop to analyze for a while and only watch the market movements.
i like the idea of we non programmers/coders can make our own bot . that means its user friendly .that is better than trusting other bots coded by some random programmer . we dont know whats inside them . whats worst is that thier bots are faulty or have some malwares inside it its pretty risky . in my case i do both manual and auto using thet exchange's built in auto trade system . havent tried using bots yet but i will be looking forward to try what the op have been using as it sounds cool to me .
You should not blindly trust OP in terms of using any bot which would not require any coding information. Such bots actually have pre-written codes which they might execute on suitable trades. We might just need to setup actual margin, entry price, exit price, trailing profit, stop-loss, etc to make it convenient for ourselves but sometimes it can be riskier to use any random bots to perform trades on our behalf. You have to link the trading bot with an API key given by the exchange.Some exchanges never allow withdrawals via API but yet there are few exchanges who might give access to the bot to withdraw your funds only with the help of the API key.
Honestly mine is so boring that people would be literally suggesting to do otherwise of what I am doing. I just put my money into bitcoin through my local exchange, then send it to somewhere as trusted as binance (usually just binance) buy the coin that I like that may go up, then just let it sit there as long as required, usually not even trading it back, just keeping there like a long investment.
I know people have figured out ways to make better profits and better methods but I am just too stupid to make those kinds of wild moves that yield bigger profits, so I use the old system where I just buy and let it be. If I were to try the other methods that further developed traders are using right now, I know instead of making more profits I would instead lose money.

Trading bots are great in my opinion of course because it let's you automate your trades while you're away like for e example taking a nap, do groceries, meet up with friends etc. You can now all do these without having to sit on a pc all day, if of course its properly coded and with algorithm's that is advance enough to know when to short or to long.
Trading bots is good but it costs a lot to get it and of course not everyone can use and own it for this reason, but if you have a lot of money then of course choosing to use bots trading is the right choice, and if we are still constrained by costs it will be more good to continue to develop skills because using bots trading or not it still allows us to generate profits that are not much different.

I trade by myself ( manual). Before buying any tokens / coins, check some things. Project Details, Volume, What's upcoming news.Seeing all this, I take trade. And a lot of risk traded with bot.Trading with another person's bot is a danger. I mean, how is he Program it’s? Maybe all my funds could be lost.
Bot is programmed in such a way that users or traders find it easy to trade, especially for faster trading.
However, your fear is as same as some people's. I have hear some traders same they can't use a bot for trading because of the fear of it being manipulated by the exchange developers, though, can't still say how true this is.
Try to trade using good platforms, I use Binance since 2017 and I found it very useful and effective as you want to become a professional trader. In trading you should take a risk to earn profit, in investing your money, choosing an effective platform is important lessen the risk that you will have. If you are comfortable and you trust the platform that you use, you will get used to it and trading will become easy for you. Also being knowledgeable about the platform will help you to become more productive. That's what I learn when using Binance for almost 2 years and now is 2020, I'm hoping for more successful transaction with anyone who is a good customer and legit buyer.

I wonder how many traders here are still trading manually… There are so many advantages to having a bot trade for you! Of course, you can't just have any random bot following any random logic!
You have already answered why many traders are still trading manually; yes rather than using any random logic of a random bot, it will be much better to believe in our own trading skills to crack profits against unpredictable market fluctuations.Yes, there are lots of trading bots are available in the market but how efficient they are. I have never seen any consistent performance of a bot against all type of market conditions. It means some bots works well in some market conditions and then start booking losses in all other market conditions or may remain sleeping without triggering any new trades. Manual trading must be 1000% better than struggling with a random thing.
A trading bot should be your assistant not a sociopath trying to push you into bankruptcy 
or doing whatever someone else programmed it to do! 
Basically, I'm not ready to believe into someone else who generate signals for me either for payment or free. I prefer trading on my own signal because I am believing into my market analyzing capabilities which means I'm not having any problem with my manual trading hence I believe there will be no need of any assistant. or doing whatever someone else programmed it to do! 
Hey!
I've been trading crypto manually for two years, but an open-source project I work with just released a platform that allows non-coders to automate their strategies, so I'm now using my own bots to trade: they do exactly what I tell them to do, as they implement my own strategies. You can watch a 2-min video showing off the app here: https://youtu.be/uhzflZWB7dc

I'm still new to trading so I stick to social trading platforms like eToro. It really helps me build confidence to be able to watch other more sucessful traders trade and compare my strategy and decision making technique to theirs.
For making trading, we have a different bias of the platform and supports because we have diverse expertise, and most If the time, those platforms have a distinct advantage too, and also sometimes, it is suitable for your needs as a trader. Being a trader for almost a year, I becomes loyal into a web-based platform because most of the time I'm facing with my computer and I love you explore something that will help me to my investment in trading and also that platform has a lot of features like notifying for having a reasonable market price and also it is faster and easier to buy and sell some funds, and also for me it is easier to trade more coins with using web base because it is easy to find where kind of tab or page I'm looking for instead of using buttons. This is just my perspective only.
Many people do business in many ways Your first strategy is very good It will help me a lot in my later work I usually use bots very rarely when trading I trade myself and try to hold. I avoid the risks of investing and researching different places to trade so I have less fear of losing money.

For almost 2 years ,i still prefer trading at the exchange manually because i feel more safe and i feel condident at myself when trading manually, i am sure there are a lot of traders who do the same and there is no doubt that trading at the exchange will always be the best,
I always trading manually, i ever use bot, but i always scary so always checking my bot is give mistake or not, that is bad waste my time to see it everytime.
Personally, i trade manually because i care my time.
So i will try analyze coin one by one to see the opportunity of profit, after that click buy and sell with my hand.
There is some experience and i love it!

I trade by myself ( manual). Before buying any tokens / coins, check some things. Project Details, Volume, What's upcoming news.Seeing all this, I take trade. And a lot of risk traded with bot.Trading with another person's bot is a danger. I mean, how is he Program it’s? Maybe all my funds could be lost.

I trade on two platforms, for fiat. within 2 years I am in plus. in 2017, at the peak, the floor of the deposit saved. now catch up. In the fiat market it’s easier, I buy on one exchange, I sell on another, using intermediate. two more Binance Exmo exchanges

Using Bots is not a good idea because if exchange funds definitely they will block the accounts, manual trading is always good for the investors because based on their knowledge they might make profits. Trading manually through technical analysis will help to acquire more knowledge and can make profits with the fluctuations.
Are you kidding me? Exchanges make a living out of bots generating volume, thus transaction fees...
