To be honest i am never use bot. But some of my friend said bot is only a tool and who made setting is ourself. So it still need our analysis or maybe other's analysis to setting it and then we can use it. If me i prefer to trade like usual because it is same we analyze, or other people analyze and set up the setting, or other people who analyze and we can ask for suggestion to trade like usual.
Same as other people, they never use trading bot. Lot of people here don't usually used a trading bots, I think they do manual trading. Trading bots may be profitable or not, still it depends with your strategies or plans. If people may rely on bots, they won't grow and can't do anything. For you to become successful in trading, manual trading is the best approach
