BTSE is excited to introduce\u00a0AutoTrader<\/b>, the next-generation platform for automated trading, simplified for retail investors.<\/span><\/p>\n

AutoTrader enables users of all levels to quickly invest in thousands of tried-and-tested, automated trading strategies across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and 100+ other cryptocurrencies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s how to get started.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

1. Not Enough USDT in Spot Wallet<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

AutoTrader bots draw from USDT balances in your <\/span>spot wallet.<\/b> If all of your money is in the futures wallet or in another currency, the AutoTrader bot will not launch. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure that you have enough USDT in your spot wallet by either transferring funds from another platform or topping up directly with your credit card.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Think about how much you\u2019re willing to invest, and top up with that amount. Note that to buy USDT with your credit card, you need to pass KYC on BTSE.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Not Enough Money Invested<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

While we\u2019ve lowered the investment threshold for most AutoTrader bots, but depending on strategy, you still need to invest a bit of money into them or else the bot won\u2019t be able to build a position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most bots have a minimum investment requirement, as designated by the > sign below.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Here, you need to invest at least 4.19 USDT in this Ethereum (ETH) bot.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Your TP\/SL Targets have been triggered<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

After launching a bot, you may notice that it has deactivated for no apparent reason. This is because each bot has built-in take-profit and stop-loss parameters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When a bot does well and accumulates a certain amount of profit, the position will be sold off to lock in those profits, with the profits being added to your AutoTrader wallet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Conversely, if a bot is doing poorly, the position will be closed at a small loss to prevent further losses. This is done to prevent you from getting liquidated and losing too much.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though you\u2019ll lose some money, you\u2019ll still have enough left to make more trades and make your money back.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

If your bot isn\u2019t working, it\u2019s usually because of these three reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n
