Investing on Autopilot: How Auto-Invest Works in Practice
Today I want to share some thoughts on using Auto-Invest - a tool that allows you to invest in cryptocurrency completely on autopilot. No manual trading, no watching charts, no stress when the market suddenly spikes or crashes. You simply set the parameters - and the system takes care of the rest.
What is Auto-Invest? Auto-Invest is an automated strategy that enables regular crypto purchases based on predefined settings. You choose:
the cryptocurrencies (e.g., BTC, ETH, or more niche assets),
the frequency (daily, weekly, or monthly),
and the investment amount.
From there, everything runs automatically, with zero manual involvement.
This approach is closely aligned with the well-known Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy - where the idea is to invest a fixed amount at regular intervals, regardless of the current price. This helps smooth out volatility and reduce the risk of buying at a market peak.
Let’s imagine you decided to invest 1 USDT per day for 6 months into $BTC using the Auto-Invest feature on WhiteBIT.
Total Invested: 180 USDT
BTC Accumulated: 0.00155777 BTC
Portfolio Value after 6 Months: 202.14 USDT
Profit: +12.30% or +22.14 USDT
This happened without watching the market or manually placing any trades. This is based on just 1 USDT a day.
If you were investing 1000 USDT per month instead, the numbers would look very different - with much larger gains in both BTC accumulated and overall profit.
