I am trying to understand about bots And heard there are bots which can trade for you and give you great returns. How do they link up with an exchange and what types of bots are there and what are people using and have they profited well from these bots? Can you even trust a bot to trade for you as you will have more knowledge of when to trade and at what mark? Are they lead by artificial intelligence?
Thankyou in advance.
I'll try to answer your question in pieces.
How do they link up with an exchange and
Most exchanges have an API which you can "Call" to place orders, or see prices.
For example bittrex's api, ->

Primarily opinion-based, and as i have barely used any bots myself, i can't really comment on how profitable it is.
Can you even trust a bot to trade for you as you will have more knowledge of when to trade and at what mark?
I'd say that most people will only use the bot to make things more convient for themselves, but this is also opinion-based. Some people indeed trust the/certain bots more on detecting certain patterns then themselves.
Are they lead by artificial intelligence?
I wouldn't call it artificial intelligence, (as ( as far as i know) they aren't self-learning) but rather lead by detecting certain patterns/prices/volumes/sell walls etc, which have all been programmed in by the creator.
Ping-ponging for example:, ( which is garantueed to make a profit with a large enough spread in the order book.)
