Bots are not some kind of magic wands that can magically let the money roll into your account. Bots are great tools with good traders. Without trader's knowledge and experience bots cant do anything. It has quite significant advantages some of them are:

Time: I don't need to sit down in front of the screen and look for opportunities. I mean since bots are on the market all the time, it catches the opportunities that I might miss.

Execution speed: Since it does the execution according to its algorithm, it executes way faster than doing manually.

Emotional Discipline: As most newbies when I first started trading, I ended up losing many times then I realized It was mostly because I was lack of emotional discipline. Traders tend to act greedy, panic, or with ego. That was one of the main reasons why I started automated trading.

So I think bots are worth it. It works for me at least. Tools on their own can’t do anything but help. The platform you will be using for creating your bots is also crucial.
