Bitsgap shared its analysis of 224,057 completed bot runs with us, offering a closer look at automated trading results as it announces a Black Friday promotion with 50% off annual plans and a 7-day free trial.
A trading bot can place orders for you. Whether that makes it worth paying for is a harder question: the subscription buys automation, while the trader still supplies the capital and bears the risk.
Ahead of Black Friday, Bitsgap shared findings from its own analysis of 224,057 completed bot runs from the first half of 2026. Across the sample, 56.1% closed in profit. For COMBO, its futures bot combining GRID and dollar-cost averaging strategies, the figure was 65.3%. These percentages measure the frequency of profitable closes, not investment returns.
Bitsgap is also announcing discounted annual subscriptions from 20 November through 30 November. Its findings give traders considering the offer a basis for examining how the bots performed, what they automate and which decisions remain in the user’s hands.
Where the profitable runs came from
DCA bots closed in profit in 54.5% of runs in the sample, compared with COMBO’s 65.3%. Results also differed across deposit sizes and session lengths. DCA runs with deposits of 500–1,000 USDT lasting seven to 30 days recorded a 60.7% profitable-close rate. COMBO runs funded with 5,000–10,000 USDT recorded 75.2%.
These historical comparisons do not establish an ideal deposit or show that committing more money causes better performance. For traders choosing a bot, the strategy behind each percentage matters: how does it build exposure, and does that exposure fit the trade?
Trading a decline requires a different setup
A spot DCA long bot builds exposure by buying at different price levels. Its outcome depends on subsequent price movements and position management. Buying during a decline leaves the trader exposed if prices continue falling.
A futures short strategy seeks to profit from falling prices. Bitsgap’s COMBO bot supports long and short configurations through grid and DCA orders. Users choose leverage and configure take-profit and stop-loss settings.
That flexibility carries different risks. A short position can lose money when prices rise, and leverage magnifies losses as well as gains. COMBO’s profitable-close rate needs to be considered alongside that exposure.
Bitsgap provides educational resources explaining these mechanics. Bots handle repetitive order execution; traders choose the direction, commit capital and set the rules. They also decide when changing conditions call for a different approach.
The exit matters, too
Among bots launched through Bitsgap’s AI Assistant, runs closed through take-profit recorded a 67.7% profitable-close rate, compared with 38.9% for manually closed runs.
The gap does not prove that take-profit caused better results. Traders may close positions manually because they are already losing, so the comparison cannot isolate the effect of the exit method.
Across the analysis, profitable-close rates leave out the size of gains and losses. Without those amounts and a full accounting of expenses, they cannot establish overall portfolio profit, a new user’s likelihood of earning money or whether trading gains cover a subscription.
Black Friday: 50% off annual plans
From 20 November through 30 November, customers can purchase eligible annual Bitsgap plans at a 50% discount. Every client will also receive a 7-day free trial to explore the platform’s trading automation tools.
Available tools and bot limits depend on the selected plan. Trading capital and exchange fees are separate from the subscription.
The offer lowers the cost of access to automated execution. The trial gives traders an opportunity to explore the tools and assess how they fit the work their strategy requires.
About the data
Bitsgap conducted the analysis using 224,057 completed bot runs from January through June 2026. The sample counts runs, not unique users, and does not show what proportion of users made money. Unfinished sessions, deposits below $100 and statistical outliers were excluded. The findings describe the selected sample; historical results do not guarantee future performance.
