My guess is the trading with the altcoins is done most by bots...
Any tips on how I could learn to automate my trading with bots?
If you are a newcomer, don’t think of trading with a bot. Since you clearly said that you need guidance to learn how to trade with a bot, don’t you think that learning trading automatically, even if you will use a bot, should happen later after you have already learned about trading skills, fundamentals, and technical analysis? Then you start thinking of using a bot, even if you will use it, because even the professionals, I can't advise any of them to use a bot because it is not favoring traders. It makes traders lazy. They don't get any updates in the market because they have already gotten used to the bot that does anything for them.
Furthermore, even with the knowledge of trading, you still need to learn how to use the trading bot because you need to set it up in a way that it will favour you. However, don’t think that if you are using the bot, you won’t lose because losing in trading is a natural thing that happens to traders regardless of how expert you are in the game. Therefore, you have a lot to do in your journey. Don’t forget to invest the amount you can afford to lose.
I would advise any trader not to use trading bots. Because trading bots are programmed in a specific program. Which I think can't really do market analysis. You can lose your assets at any time with trading bots. So research the market give plenty of time and become a real trader. So that you don't need third party like bot as your partner.
Yeah, bots don’t help; they have a set for a specific thing, and once they have done what they were programmed to do, there’s nothing they will do for the trader again; they won’t be able to manage the risk in the market, and a lot more, when someone trades on their own, it will be easier for the trader to do so automatically. So when someone does it on their own, I think it makes more sense and generates profit.
