Good point. This is important to understand tho: some people think about CAT as an automatic "trader" like you can setup once and let it run for days and then just grab/collect your earnings after one or 2 weeks! I dont think it is like that, am i wrong? You need to study the markets, to follow them daily (and maybe intraday for some coins) and then adjust your settings following "quite what you would trading manually".
So CAT is not your golden egg's chicken but it is something you can use to eat, answer your phone, read your emails, get a shower....WHILE with a corner of your eyes you watch it "trade" for you (saving your eyes from continuosly lurking at graphs and markets waiting the exact moment to PUSH).
Am i wrong?

yes, CAT is NOT

set it and forget it

the main problem is, after a crash or frozen CAT (or often java or GUI) it is a big pain (time consuming) to restart/reconfigure all and a loss too if you have not the time to do it now, because the markets have changed so much in the meantime.
but for short time if it is running it is ok

I think that there's no bot on the market that allows you to gain without do nothing on configuration side.
CAT offers you a lot of parameters and you're free to create from simple to complex strategies.

You can also run more than 1 strategy over the same market, for example :
- A Strategy for current market situation
- A Strategy for a market drop
- A Strategy for a market increase

Only 1 of these 3 strategies will works but when market condition changes, the other algorithm will start working.

This is an advanced use of CAT.

PS : I Know person who gained with CAT without understand how it works but only let it run in default mode.
