It depends on many different aspects. Using bots is really effective if you know how to use it and find out a strong bot. There are many stupid bots which can cause you to lose a huge amount of money. Many people just want to obtain money without thinking about others's pockets. I suggest you should learn to build a bot by yourself. There are many sources in which you can learn and earn different knowledge. Find an edge of yourself and start writing your own trading system
Trading in traditional ways is not always bad. If you can control your emotions and understand your money management, you will definitely be rewarded. Moreover, you will become more confident, no longer susceptible to pain and loss. Just find a suitable way to benefits your desires
Many of that stupid bots are free

I think building a bot takes time and OP is finding bot to use because he has his stable job which I think occupies most of his time. OP can just use reputated bots.
The trading bot will perform as good or as bad depending on how the trader is going to configure it. In the first place, trading bots should mostly just be used to decrease your trading work, not completely take over and run for long periods of time without your input.
In the end, everyone trades differently though, so results will also obviously be different. Probably try it out instead, then decide if using bots is the right choice or not.
That's right, Positive results from trading bot mostly came from the good deployment of configuration and maintaining it.
You can also use copy trading on other platforms if you want to reduce your time spending on trading.
