OctoBot Cloud
Hosted version of the open-source OctoBot crypto trading bot, running automated strategies on your own exchange account.
OctoBot Cloud is the hosted edition of OctoBot, an open-source crypto trading bot that automates strategies on a user's exchange account. OctoBot Cloud is used by picking a strategy or a themed crypto basket, selecting an exchange and letting the bot place the trades. Strategies can be tried with virtual money first, and plans run from a free tier to Pro.
Best for Crypto holders who want rule-based strategies such as DCA, grid or baskets executed automatically while funds stay on their own exchange.

What is OctoBot Cloud?
OctoBot Cloud is a managed service built on OctoBot, a crypto trading bot whose source code is public on GitHub. It connects to a supported exchange and executes a chosen strategy there, so assets remain in the user's exchange account. Strategies come in several kinds: themed crypto baskets that spread a portfolio across a group of coins, dollar-cost averaging, grid trading and strategies that draw on ChatGPT. Paid plans add the ability to design a strategy with AI and, on Pro, to trigger trades from TradingView alerts and trade futures. Each strategy shows its historical results and can be run in paper trading with simulated funds before real money is committed. The publisher, Drakkar-Software, charges subscriptions only and takes no fee on trades. OctoBot handles crypto markets only, not stocks or forex.
