I'm kind of nooby at bots, but I messed with it a little bit and all you need to do is pick a bot and let it go to work on a specific coin, they use APIs to connect to your exchange account but it's all done completely through your PC rather than a dodgy website.

I do know a bit about how they trade, the idea behind a bot is that you pick a price difference or something I think and then your bot will automatically trade between that amount, so let me think about the maths for a moment.

So if you had a coin going between 0.00000001 - 0.00000006 for example, keeping it really simple here and you wanted to make money off it you would have the bot trade between 0.00000001 - 0.00000003 constantly in order to make profits over 0.00000001btc and 0.00000002btc or so. This is literally called 'ping pong' trading as you're trading between two points extremely quickly just to generate tiny amounts of profit.

Might not seem like much, but if you add more currency of course over time then that means you'll get more and more, you do still have to keep an eye on this though in case the currency gets unstable. Please feel free to correct my maths guys! I only have a basic understanding of bot trading but that was just from when I played with it a bit.

It would be nice to find a proper tutorial on it, maybe somebody could write one up on steem that's knows about trading.

Thanks for your detailed answer!
