What Is Automated Crypto Trading?

Automated crypto trading allows you to convert TradingView indicator or strategy alerts into live crypto futures trades on your exchange. Instead of placing orders manually, PickMyTrade listens for alerts, applies your predefined rules, and executes trades automatically.

This enables faster execution, reduced emotional bias, and consistent risk management — all while keeping full control over your TradingView logic. PickMyTrade integrates directly with TradingView and supported crypto exchanges to make futures-only crypto automation reliable, fast, and flexible.
