What is better: using bots, trading in spot or in futures?

It depends on your stage:

Stage 1: (Low initial capital - between $1 and $10)

• You use Spot + Grid or DCA Bots, which take advantage of market movements to buy low and sell high automatically.

• It is slower, but much more stable.

• Here, the most important thing is not the daily profit, but not losing the little you have.

Stage 2: (Capital between $10 and $100)

• You can start trading Futures with low leverage (2x or 5x).

• You look for short trades (scalping) with high probability, without excessive ambition.

• You start to understand the psychology of the market and your own.

Stage 3: (Capital greater than $100)

• Here you can combine:

• Copy trading

• Aggressive bots with a 5%–10% daily ROI (controlling risk)

• Futures with more leverage (only if you are already profitable)

• The important thing now is to protect the capital while scaling it.

What bots are advisable to use?

RECOMMENDED to start:

• Pionex Spot Grid Bot – Ideal for markets that move in ranges. It is configured once and works on its own.

• Binance Spot Grid – Similar, easy to activate and monitor.

• 3Commas DCA Bot – Requires more configuration, but is very powerful (ideal if you have intermediate knowledge).

• Arbitrage bots (Pionex, Bitsgap) – Take advantage of small price differences. They don't generate much, but they are stable.

NOT RECOMMENDED at the beginning:

• Futures bots with high leverage without stop-loss

• Bots that promise 30% or more daily

• Closed bots without history or clear management

• Bots that do not allow you to configure risk or see how much they are trading
