A couple of months ago I copied a bot setup I found on 3Commas marketplace. Nothing special with the setup but it was the best performing bot in the ranking during that day.
I was wondering what made it so special and figured that it was nothing to do with the deal start conditions or the safety order placement. It was to do with the pairs that the creator picked:
Pairs that were about to breakout bullish
So I decided to copy this bot and use BA pair selection and let it run on paper trading endlessly. My expectations were that some of the pair selections strategies were going to get destroyed since the bot doesn’t have SL and it’s max % deviation is not as deep to not get in trouble if running unattended.
Today it’s been 38 days since the experiment started and I want to know what are the results.
From the point of view of PNL realised, all bots look great since all managed to make decent profits. In average around 4% with some even 8%.
But if we pay attention to unrealised PNL we see a different picture: some have more than 10% red bags which is exactly what we were expecting so the million dollar question is:
Is there any pair selection strategy that helped the bot realised more profits than any of its existing red bags? in other words is there any bot in green right now? and the answer is yes.
In the rest of the article we will discuss the best performing pair selection strategies used and most importantly why they made this particular setup succeed during these past 40 days.
