Three ways into crypto automation
Start with a schedule—or bring custom code.
The same spot-crypto scope can support different levels of strategy complexity.
Configure a crypto bot
Combine schedules, supported indicators, entry rules, position sizing, portfolio caps, and exits without coding.
Explore no-code botsCode custom spot logic
Use Python strategy callbacks and services for supported spot pairs while retaining platform order and portfolio controls.

Current product boundary
Spot crypto automation—without unsupported leverage claims.
Current Investfly strategy scope is spot crypto and long-only. This page does not claim perpetual futures, margin, short selling, grid bots, or exchange-wide coverage.
Live availability varies by
- Connected provider and account capability
- Supported spot instrument and order type
- Jurisdiction and provider restrictions
- Market data and platform availability
Crypto trading bot questions
Start with the supported spot-market boundary.
What can an Investfly crypto trading bot trade?
Current crypto strategy workflows are for supported spot pairs and long-only activity. They do not represent perpetual futures, leverage, margin, or short-selling support.
Can I build a crypto DCA bot?
Yes. You can configure a recurring schedule, supported spot pair or basket, allocation amount, and portfolio limit for a dollar-cost-averaging workflow you define.
Can I backtest a crypto bot before connecting an exchange?
Supported crypto strategies can be evaluated with historical backtests and virtual portfolios before any separate eligible account authorization. Modeled results do not predict live outcomes.
Can I use no-code rules or Python for crypto automation?
Both paths are available for supported spot-crypto strategies: visual configuration for common conditions and schedules, or Python for supported custom selection and signal logic.
Spot DCA and rebalancing you can inspect
The public example contributes a fixed $100 notional to BTC-USD daily at 12:00, includes a guarded four-hour cash-sweep job, and targets a 65% BTC / 35% ETH basket monthly with an 8% drift tolerance and a 35% equity allocation budget. Those are illustrative authored settings, not recommended allocations. Review the platform schedule timezone and the full configuration before copying.
Inspect Crypto Daily DCA And Monthly Rebalance, use Customize to save a private draft, and review every setting before running it.

Historical simulation, not live performance. Partial closes may create multiple matched records. The run uses available history; its dates can change as data refreshes. Inspect costs, fills, missing data and warnings in the full report. These settings demonstrate software behavior, not a recommended strategy.
Coinbase and other supported spot connections
Coinbase, Alpaca and TastyTrade are marketed crypto connections. In Account/Brokers choose the offered provider, review its authorization and available account/instruments, then confirm the strategy compatibility report before live deployment. This workflow requires Elite. Spot strategies are currently long-only; this page does not promise leveraged perpetuals or every exchange. Practice and historical testing require the corresponding paid features after the trial.
Read spot paper trading, backtest assumptions and pricing.
Check spot crypto access before creating a bot
| Provider for live connection | Market/account scope | Paper mode | Live mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coinbase | Eligible spot instruments and account authorization | Investfly virtual portfolio: simulated funds; no provider connection required. | Elite: separately authorize an eligible provider account. |
| Alpaca | Supported spot-crypto instruments and account permissions | Investfly virtual portfolio: simulated funds; no provider connection required. | Elite: separately authorize an eligible provider account. |
| TastyTrade | Supported spot-crypto instruments and account permissions | Investfly virtual portfolio: simulated funds; no provider connection required. | Elite: separately authorize an eligible provider account. |
Historical testing: Available spot-pair OHLCV bars; venue quotes, historical bars and modeled fills can differ. No perpetual-futures replay. Stored intervals are 1, 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes and daily where data is available; inspect the reported period instead of assuming every symbol has every interval.
Plan and execution limits: Premium or Elite is required for continued automated deployment and historical testing after the trial. This market’s paper practice requires the applicable Premium/Elite entitlement after the trial; Standard’s continuing free practice is for stocks/ETFs. Provider support is not a promise that every account, country, symbol, structure or order type is eligible. Review the connection and strategy compatibility report, quote timestamp, fees and market-data rights. Investfly-managed protection and modeled fills can behave differently from native broker orders. Review current plans and testing assumptions.
