Security First
Non-custodial with API keys that have NO withdrawal permissions. Look for self-hosted options for maximum control. Check for past security incidents -- 3Commas had a major API key leak in 2022.
Strategy Depth
How customizable is the trading logic? Can you build complex strategies with multiple indicators, conditions, and Boolean logic? unCoded Bot's 152-indicator Signal Editor sets the standard here.
Realistic Backtesting
Does backtesting include fees, slippage, and position sizing? Many platforms show inflated results by ignoring trading costs. Candle-accurate backtesting is the gold standard.
Pricing Model
Subscription means you pay regardless of results. Profit-sharing means the provider only earns when you earn. Consider your expected returns and use our calculator to compare.
Infrastructure
Cloud-hosted bots can fail during flash crashes. Self-hosted bots run on your server -- your bot stays online even when cloud services go down.
Exchange Support
Does the bot support your preferred exchange? More exchanges isn't always better -- a bot optimized for one exchange (like unCoded for Binance) can outperform a bot spread across 16.
Track Record
How long has the bot been around? Are there real user reviews? Beware of fake testimonials. Our independent comparison across 13 categories provides unbiased data.
