Have you ever thought about what the biggest difference is between trading and gambling? One relies on data to speak, while the other is entirely based on intuition. Quantitative robots are the former—they consume data, drink algorithms, and roam the market 24/7.
To put it simply, the biggest enemy of manual trading is oneself. When the price of a coin rises, FOMO kicks in; when it falls, panic selling happens. Robots don’t do that. They strictly follow predetermined strategies, regardless of market fluctuations—when to make a move, when to cut losses. The benefits of this approach are obvious—risks are more controllable.
Another approach is multi-strategy combination. Some prefer short-term grid trading, others lean towards medium-term trend following, and some play arbitrage. Different strategies adapt to different market conditions, dispersing the risk of a single strategy failing. Relying on one leg is unstable; multiple legs make it much more stable.
To be honest, efficient trading must be supported by a system. Human resources are limited, and the mind can get tired. Robots fill this gap—they can monitor multiple coins and trading pairs simultaneously, missing fewer opportunities. Whether efficiency and returns can be improved depends on whether the strategy itself is reliable, but at least it won’t miss market opportunities because of sleep.

Robots sound great, but honestly, I've seen too many people tweak the parameters over and over again, only to end up losing even faster in the end.

Robots sound great, but are they really reliable? I think it still depends on the strategy; a garbage strategy with a robot is pointless.

That's right, the biggest fear for people is slipping up, but I always feel like robots can also get caught.
---
I agree with multi-strategy combinations, but it takes time to tune them. Does this time cost count?
---
24-hour monitoring sounds great, but backtesting and live trading are so different. What does that mean...
---
The biggest enemy of manual trading is oneself? I think sometimes greed is even more terrifying.
---
Finally, someone says sleeping can cause missed market opportunities—that's my main reason for not using robots.

I still think it depends on the market environment. In a bull market, you can make money no matter what; in a bear market, even the smartest algorithms can't withstand it.

Honestly, I just want to know how this robot's backtest data was obtained. Could it be another case of survivor bias?

From a technical architecture perspective, there is a hidden flaw in the logic of this article that warrants in-depth examination.
