FAQ

  • Is a Scalping Bot suitable for beginners?

    Yes, but some learning is required. 3Commas doesn’t offer a fully pre-configured Crypto Scalping Bot — instead, it gives you powerful tools to create and automate your own strategy. You can use built-in technical indicators, templates, or connect signals from TradingView. The interface is user-friendly, and many traders with basic experience find it easy to get started.

  • How much time do I need to spend managing the bot?

    Very little. Once your Scalping Bot is set up and running, it monitors the market 24/7. Most users only check in periodically to review performance or tweak settings. The main benefit of a crypto scalping bot is that it handles dozens of small trades without requiring your constant attention.

  • Which exchanges are supported on 3Commas?

    3Commas supports a wide range of major crypto exchanges for both spot and futures trading.

  • Can I backtest my Crypto Scalping Strategy?

    Yes — 3Commas offers a built-in backtesting tool for DCA Bot. You can test your scalping setup on historical data before risking real funds. Adjust settings like indicators, timeframes, entry conditions, and safety orders — and instantly see how the strategy would have performed in the past.

  • Can I use my own TradingView script with the Scalping Bot?

    Definitely. The Signal Bot supports webhook integration with TradingView strategies. That means your custom scalping logic — whether it’s based on RSI, MACD, EMAs, or any Pine Script — can trigger real trades with 100% precision. It’s perfect for those running high-frequency or event-based scalping strategies.

  • What makes an Automated Scalping Bot better than manual trading?

    Manual scalping demands full attention and ultra-fast execution, which isn’t always practical. A Crypto Scalping Bot never gets tired or distracted. It operates based on logic, not emotions, and reacts in milliseconds to small price moves. This gives you consistency, scalability, and a serious edge in volatile markets.

  • Is high-frequency crypto trading risky?

    Yes, all trading carries risk — and scalping operates in highly volatile environments. But bots help manage that risk using stop losses, fixed position sizing, and automatic trade controls. On 3Commas, you can define your risk per trade, adjust safety orders, and fine-tune every parameter to match your comfort level.
