About Bitsgap

Bitsgap website

Bitsgap was created to automate the process of identifying these arbitrage opportunities in several markets across multiple crypto exchanges. This also explains the name of the platform, which includes the term ‘gap’ denoting the price differences of the same asset on two different platforms.

A few years down the road and the Bitsgap platform has expanded its offering to become a full-fledged trading interface for various investment strategies. The main attraction is the ability to deploy trading bots in as few as three clicks.

Worth noting is that Bitsgap currently has over 500k users and supports more than 15 cryptocurrency exchanges, including market leaders such as Coinbase (COIN), Binance (BNB), Kraken, KuCoin (KCS), and Huobi (HT). By taking advantage of Bitsgap, its users are able to manage their disparate portfolios from a single intuitive interface and launch automated trading strategies. It’s also possible to trade manually.

How to launch a Bitsgap bot in 3 clicks? Step-By-Step

Creating a crypto trading bot has always been a complicated and costly process. Bitsgap is on a mission to transform that notion amongst investors. It is now possible to deploy a Bitsgap bot for trading with just three clicks, as we will demonstrate below.

But first, let’s get familiar with the interface. Once you log in to your Bitsgap account, you will notice a couple of panels.

Bitsgap account interface

If this is your first time using Bitsgap or creating a Bitsgap bot, the platform will prompt you to connect to any of its supported exchanges. Click on the link to connect, as shown above. Here is a tutorial guide that shows you how to link Binance with Bitsgap. You can follow a similar process to link any of the other exchanges.

Once you are connected to at least one crypto exchange, you are now ready to launch your first Bitsgap trading bot. Ensure that the account you have linked is funded before you proceed.

Click 1 – Choose a profitable trading strategy

To launch a trading bot, first head back to the [Bots] page by clicking on the main navigation bar or the logo button. This is the default page that you will be landing on every time you log into your Bitsgap account.

The first step to launching a trading bot is choosing a trading strategy. Strategies are listed on the right side of the page labeled (2) in the image above. You will notice that the platform has a list of several trading pairs with a performance metric next to each.

The performance figures are based on 3-day, 1-week, and 1-month periods. Intraday or day traders will probably stick to the shorter-term bots, while the position and swing traders will most likely focus on the longer-period figures.

Choose a strategy

You can scroll down to identify a trading pair you prefer or even use the search bar to locate it. However, since we are trying to minimize the number of clicks involved in this tutorial, we’ll go with the most profitable strategy as of the time of taking this screenshot, which is APT / USDT on the Binance exchange.

Click 2 – Preview the trading bot

After selecting a trading strategy from the strategies list, Bitsgap will load a preview panel above the selection panel. Also, the technical analysis chart will be preloaded with the strategy’s selected pair.

Preview the strategy

Bitsgap will aim to utilize the entirety of the available balance by default. This is a setting you can change to adhere to your personal risk management goals. However, it is worth noting that all other settings are optimized by the platform based on the available balance.

If your balance is not sufficient to launch the bot, you will not be able to, and Bitsgap will display a red outline prompting you to fund your account. Also, notice a button to backtest a strategy below the setup panel. You can use this option to backtest the strategy and tweak some settings to optimize it better.

However, since every setting is already optimized in our demonstration, you do not have to change anything. Click on the [Continue] button to proceed.

Click 3 – Launch the trading bot

In the next screen, you’ll see the final settings of the bot, including how much capital you have allocated to it and the pairs you have chosen for it.

Launch the trading bot

One more thing you’ll notice is that if you do not have either or both of the assets to be traded, Bitsgap will have to buy one of both to satisfy the trading conditions. It will use the assigned balance to make the purchase(s).

Finally, if you are comfortable with the bot settings, and wish to launch it, click on the [Start Bot] button.

The platform will display a success message to notify you that the bot has started trading.

Success message

You can check the performance of the trading bot in the panel below the charting interface. Bitsgap lists all running bots in this section, as shown below. The panel to the right will still display the bot settings and offer you the option to modify anything if you wish to optimize it further.

Managing the bot

You have successfully launched a trading bot in three clicks. If you wish to stop the bot, you can do so by clicking on the [Stop] symbol on the row listing each bot. That is the last button with a circle and a stroke going through it. You can opt to cancel all open orders instantly or choose a preset price.

Cancel a bot

If you are just starting out in cryptocurrency trading, this is one of the simplest ways to begin. In a few clicks, you can start profiting from cryptocurrency volatility. With some experience, it will be possible to begin executing custom-made bots on the platform.
