Automated vs. Manual Trading in Gunbot

Gunbot supports two trading modes: automated trading and manual trading. The right choice depends on how much control you want day to day.

Automated Trading in Gunbot​

Automated trading runs the strategy rules you set and lets Gunbot monitor markets and execute trades when conditions match.

  • Predefined strategies: Choose a base strategy and adjust its parameters.
  • Always on: Gunbot can monitor markets continuously and react when your rules are met.
  • Hands-free execution: Trades are placed automatically, without manual intervention.

Manual Trading in Gunbot​

Manual trading keeps the decision-making with you while using Gunbot's terminal and charting tools.

  • Full control: You decide when to enter and exit.
  • Manual execution: Trades are placed directly in the terminal.
  • Tooling support: You still use Gunbot's charts and tools to inform decisions.

The Best of Both Worlds: Combining Automated and Manual Trading​

Gunbot also supports a hybrid approach where you can intervene manually while automation continues.

  • Strategy flexibility: Switch between automated and manual decisions as needed.
  • Consistent workflow: Manual actions fit alongside existing strategy logic.
