What Is an Automated Trading Bot?
An automated trading bot is a program that executes trades on your exchange account based on a predefined set of rules — without you needing to watch the market, make decisions, or click any buttons. It runs 24/7 on a remote server, connects to your exchange via API, and places trades exactly when the strategy says to.
For crypto trading, automated bots solve the single biggest problem most traders face: emotion. The bot doesn't panic-sell during a drawdown. It doesn't hold a losing trade "hoping it comes back." It doesn't miss an entry because you were asleep. It executes the rules, every time, without deviation.
Why Bybit?
Bybit is one of the largest crypto derivatives exchanges by volume, with a well-documented API that supports automated trading. It offers low fees on perpetual futures contracts (the instrument these bots trade), strong uptime, and a reliable API that doesn't drop connections mid-trade. Most serious automated traders in the crypto space are either on Bybit or Binance — and for perpetuals trading, Bybit's API is more stable.
The v33 strategies are backtested and live-tested specifically on Bybit's historical data, which means the execution model (fees, slippage, funding rates) is already baked into the performance numbers.
What You Need to Get Started
Bybit Account
A Bybit account with USDT in your Unified Trading Account. API keys with Read + Trade permissions. You keep full custody — no withdrawal permissions are ever required.
Hosting (Included)
Nothing to set up. Your bot lives and runs 24/7 on managed infrastructure. Your first year of hosting is free; after that it's $99/year — no monthly fees, no server to rent.
Telegram
A Telegram account for receiving trade alerts and controlling the bot from your phone. You create a free bot via @BotFather — it takes about 2 minutes.
You do not need: coding experience, command line knowledge, trading experience, or any technical background. Every step that requires action on your end is documented in plain language with screenshots.
How Deployment Works — Step by Step
Place your order and align on the strategy
You choose which bot (BTC, ETH, or SOL) and which package (v33 Formula or v33 Blueprint). Before anything is built, you see the full TradingView backtest — every trade, every drawdown, the complete equity curve. There's no guessing what you're getting.
Create your Bybit API keys
You log into Bybit and generate API keys with Read + Trade permissions only. These are entered into the bot configuration. Never grant withdrawal permissions to any bot — that's a hard rule and it's enforced on setup.
Hosting is handled for you
Your bot is deployed to managed infrastructure — there's no server for you to rent, create, or maintain. Your API keys are restricted (IP-locked) to that server only, which prevents them from being used from any other location.
Set up your Telegram bot
A dedicated Telegram bot is created for you via @BotFather. This is the bot that will message you on every trade — entry, exit, position status. You send it one message to activate it, then share the token.
Bot is configured and deployed
I handle the entire server-side setup: uploading the bot files, configuring the strategy parameters, installing dependencies, and starting the bot inside a persistent process. You don't touch a terminal.
Verify it's live
You send /status to your Telegram bot and receive a reply confirming the strategy is running, what position it's in, and the next scheduled tick. That's your confirmation it's live. From this point, the bot runs autonomously — Telegram alerts on every trade, 24/7.
What Happens After Deployment
Once live, the bot runs completely on its own. You don't need to log into anything, monitor charts, or take any action. Every time the strategy enters or exits a trade, you receive a Telegram message with the details. You can check status, pause, or stop the bot at any time from your phone using simple commands.
From anywhere in the world. At 3am. While you're on holiday. The bot doesn't need you to be watching.
Common Questions
Does the bot trade with leverage?
What if Bitcoin crashes while the bot is running?
Can I withdraw from my Bybit account while the bot is running?
What if I want to stop the bot?
Monitoring Your Bot Day-to-Day
Once the bot is live, your interaction with it is mostly passive. You receive Telegram notifications on every trade — entry price, direction (long or short), stop loss level, and position size. You don't need to act on any of them. The bot manages everything autonomously.
The Telegram bot responds to a handful of commands if you ever want to check in:
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/status | Shows current position, entry price, unrealised PnL, and next tick time |
/pause | Stops new entries but lets the current trade finish naturally |
/stop | Shuts down the bot immediately — current position remains open on Bybit |
/resume | Restarts the bot after a pause |
There's no dashboard to log into, no app to check. Everything comes to you via Telegram. Most clients check in once a week at most — and many go months without looking at it.
What Happens if the Server Goes Down?
The managed infrastructure running your bot has far better uptime than a home computer — it runs at 99.9%+ uptime. But in the rare event of a server restart (e.g. after an OS update), every bot is configured to start automatically on reboot. You'd receive a "Bot restarted" Telegram message once it's back up.
Any open position remains on Bybit regardless of whether the bot is running — Bybit holds the trade, not the server. If the server restarts while you're in a trade, the position stays open and the exchange stop loss (set at entry) remains active. The bot rejoins the live position when it comes back. Your capital is never at risk from a server outage.
