Why did I decide to stop letting my money sit idle in a CDT and put it to work with strategy?

In the current financial landscape, where inflation rates compete directly with bank returns, many conservative investors continue to deposit their capital in Term Deposit Certificates (CDT), believing it to be the safest and most profitable option. However, this perception is changing rapidly. I myself made a key decision: to stop watching my money grow at a slow and inefficient pace and to opt for an active, staggered, and controlled strategy through trading bots.

📉 The problem with CDTs: low performance compared to opportunity cost

Although CDTs offer security, their average monthly return ranges between 0.8% and 1.2%, depending on the bank and the chosen term. In real terms, an investment of $1,000,000 COP can generate less than $10,000 COP in a month, not accounting for the effects of inflation or withholding tax.

This dynamic translates into a significant opportunity cost, especially when there are alternatives that allow for intelligent and controlled capital performance optimization.

🤖 The alternative: trading bots with Grid strategy on Binance

In contrast, platforms like Binance allow for the automation of investment strategies through Grid trading bots, which operate within defined market ranges. These bots buy in low zones and sell in high zones, capturing volatility without the need for constant intervention.

I have implemented what I call the “Dragon Strategy,” based on three operating zones:


Central Head: a band where the price is currently operating.

Sky Head: activated if the price rises sharply, capturing the upward trend.

Abyss Head: activated if the price drops, taking advantage of pullbacks to buy cheaply.

This strategy allows me to act with foresight, diversify entry levels, and maintain emotional control — a key aspect for any trader, especially a conservative one.

📊 Results and comparative profitability

With an investment equivalent to what I would usually allocate to a CDT, I have managed to obtain profits of around 1.5% to 2.5% per operating cycle (usually 5 to 7 days). Translated to a month, this can represent between 4% and 6% monthly, far exceeding the average profitability of a traditional CDT.

And most importantly: the risk is calculated and controlled, with bots that act according to technical parameters and within previously analyzed ranges.

🧠 Conclusion: money must work, not sleep

It's not about speculating or taking unnecessary risks. It's about making informed decisions, using available technological tools, and applying strategies that fit your risk profile.

Today, I prefer to have my capital strategically distributed in the market, monitored by automated systems, rather than letting it 'rest' in banking products that barely exceed inflation.



Financial education is the first step. Making smart decisions is the next.
