How to Automate Trading on Crypto.com Exchange

·

Automating your trading strategy can significantly improve efficiency, reduce emotional decision-making, and help manage risk—especially in the fast-moving crypto markets. Crypto.com Exchange offers a suite of advanced trading bots designed to support various investment approaches, including Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA), Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP), Grid Trading, and Funding Arbitrage. These tools allow traders to execute complex strategies with minimal manual oversight.

Whether you're building a long-term portfolio, managing large orders, or capitalizing on market volatility, automated trading bots can help align your actions with your goals.

Understanding Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is a proven investment strategy that reduces the impact of market volatility by spreading purchases over time. Instead of investing a lump sum all at once, traders allocate a fixed amount at regular intervals—weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly—regardless of price fluctuations.

This method lowers the average cost per unit over time, especially in volatile markets. For example, buying $100 worth of Bitcoin every week means acquiring more coins when prices drop and fewer when they rise—resulting in a balanced entry point.

DCA is ideal for investors seeking a disciplined, low-stress approach to accumulating digital assets without attempting to time the market.

Using the DCA Trading Bot

Crypto.com Exchange’s DCA bot automates this strategy, allowing users to set predefined parameters for recurring buys. Once configured, the bot executes trades automatically, eliminating the need for constant market monitoring.

The process is simple:

  1. Log in to Crypto.com Exchange.
  2. Navigate to the Trading Bots section.
  3. Select DCA Bot.
  4. Choose your preferred cryptocurrency, investment amount, frequency, and duration.
  5. Click Continue to review and confirm.

This automation ensures consistency and removes emotional bias from investment decisions.

Enhance DCA with Crypto Baskets

A powerful feature of the DCA bot is Crypto Basket, which enables diversified, automated purchases across multiple tokens in a single setup. Instead of creating individual bots for each asset, users can define a custom basket of up to 10 cryptocurrencies.

Available predefined baskets include:

This allows instant diversification based on market trends or risk appetite.

How to create a Crypto Basket:

  1. Go to Trading Bots > DCA Bot.
  2. Click Create Basket or select a pre-built option.
  3. Set allocation percentages, order frequency, and total investment amount.
  4. Review and confirm settings.

With this tool, users can build balanced portfolios aligned with their investment strategy—all on autopilot.

Mastering Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) Trading

Large market orders can cause slippage and move prices unfavorably. The Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) strategy solves this by breaking big orders into smaller chunks executed at regular intervals over a set period.

For instance, instead of buying 10 BTC at once, a TWAP bot might buy 0.5 BTC every 5 minutes over 2 hours. This minimizes market impact and achieves an execution price close to the average market price during that window.

TWAP is widely used by both retail and institutional traders who want optimal execution without signaling their intent to the market.

TWAP Bots on Crypto.com Exchange

The exchange’s TWAP bot automates this process across 50 spot trading pairs, with no additional fees. It supports both limit and market orders and is available on desktop and mobile platforms.

Perpetual TWAP Trading

An advanced feature allows TWAP bots to trade perpetual contracts—over 150 pairs supported—with leverage. This is ideal for traders looking to hedge positions or take directional bets with minimal price impact.

Steps to set up a Perpetual TWAP Bot:

  1. Create a new TWAP Trading Bot.
  2. Switch the dropdown to Perpetuals.
  3. Select your desired trading pair.
  4. Configure order size, duration, and intervals.
  5. Confirm and launch.

Note: Perpetual trading via TWAP bots is subject to jurisdictional restrictions. Always review applicable terms and risk warnings before activation.

Exploring Grid Trading Strategies

Grid trading is a rules-based, automated strategy suited for ranging or moderately volatile markets. It involves placing buy and sell orders at predetermined price levels within a defined range.

As prices fluctuate, the bot “buys low and sells high” repeatedly across these levels, profiting from volatility without predicting direction.

Crypto.com’s Grid Trading Bot

The Grid Trading Bot on Crypto.com Exchange supports both Auto and Advanced modes:

It works across all major spot pairs like BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, and ETH/BTC.

No extra fees apply, and users can run multiple grid bots simultaneously.

Setup steps:

  1. Access Trading Bots > Grid Trading Bot.
  2. Choose a trading pair.
  3. Select Auto or Advanced mode.
  4. Adjust parameters and click Continue.
  5. Confirm to activate.

This bot is perfect for hands-off traders who want to capitalize on sideways markets.

Capitalizing on Funding Arbitrage Opportunities

Funding Arbitrage involves earning from the funding rate mechanism in perpetual contracts while hedging market risk using the underlying asset.

The Funding Arbitrage Bot automates two simultaneous positions:

This strategy aims to earn funding payments while remaining market-neutral.
