How do trading bots work? They’re programs that automatically buy and sell assets such as shares, gold or cryptocurrency.
A trader sets rules, like buying below a chosen price and selling above it. The bot watches market data for those conditions.
When conditions match, it can place a trade automatically. It follows instructions without fear or excitement.
Some advanced bots use artificial intelligence to spot patterns. But they cannot predict the future.
Sudden news, technical failures and changing markets can cause major losses. Promises of guaranteed profits are a warning sign of a possible scam.
Trading bots are tools, not automatic money-making machines. Follow Hina Sketches for more simple money and business explanations.
