Lesson 17 of 17Advanced5 min
How do you automate crypto options trading?
You turn each decision into a rule: when to enter, which strikes to pick, how big, and when to exit. An engine then follows those rules exactly, every day, including stops, trailing and adjustments. For a market open 24/7 like Bitcoin, that is the only way to manage a position at every hour. Start on paper, then go live.

Rules instead of watching
In the Trade window, Automate trade places the exact legs once and manages the exit. Automate strategy turns the legs into rules that enter on a schedule and pick strikes fresh each day.
On the Adjustments tab you can preview a hedge or a roll on the payoff picture, then press Automate this rule. The engine then does what you did in lesson 14, without you watching.

Questions people ask
Do I need to code to automate a crypto strategy?
No. In Algoclear you build the legs visually, or describe the strategy to the AI in plain English, then set the rules in the builder.
What can be automated?
Entries on a schedule or a signal, strike selection, the stop loss, target, trailing, square-off time and adjustments.
Is automated crypto trading safe?
The rules run exactly as written, which is both the point and the risk. Test on paper, keep a daily loss limit, and remember your funds stay in your own Delta Exchange account.

From hand to rule
Every trade placed by hand makes the same decisions: which expiry, which strikes, how many lots, where to exit. Writing them down once turns them into a strategy that runs the same way every day, without hesitation.
Why crypto needs automation
Bitcoin trades through the night and the weekend, and has an expiry every day. No one can watch all of that by hand. An engine can: it enters on schedule, checks every open position every second, and exits at your rules.
Two ways to automate in Algoclear
Automate trade places the exact legs once and manages the exit. Automate strategy turns the legs into rules that enter on a schedule and choose strikes fresh each day. Run either on paper first; paper and live results are kept apart, so tests never mix with real money.
