In simple English
This program trades cryptocurrency derivatives automatically on multiple exchanges. It does not try to guess future price changes or follow trends. Instead, it places many small buy and sell orders in a grid around the current market price. This approach aims to profit from normal price ups and downs throughout the day. You need a dedicated server or computer left running all the time, plus funded exchange accounts to trade with.
What it is
Passivbot is a cryptocurrency trading bot written in Python and Rust that runs on perpetual futures markets. It uses an evolutionary algorithm to optimize trading configurations through backtesting.
What it is good for
Crypto traders who want an automated grid-trading system running on major derivatives exchanges without constant manual oversight.
- Runs on multiple major cryptocurrency exchanges including Binance, Bybit, and OKX.
- Includes an optimizer that tests thousands of historical strategies to find the best configuration.
- Uses Rust for core calculations to keep trading decisions fast and consistent.
- Trading perpetual futures involves a high risk of losing all invested capital.
- Requires command-line configuration and management which can be difficult for non-programmers.
- Python version 3.13 is not supported, so you must install Python 3.12 or 3.14.
