Why automate

Why Use a Coinbase Trading Bot?

A crypto trading bot handles the day-to-day work of managing a crypto portfolio for you — disciplined, automated execution around the clock, without watching charts or trying to time the market.

  • Automation

    Automated portfolio management

    Your entire Coinbase portfolio is managed for you. The bot places every trade and sizes every position automatically — automated crypto investing with no manual orders.

  • Hands-off

    No manual market-watching

    Stop refreshing charts and second-guessing entries. Fully automated crypto trading runs 24/7, so you never have to monitor the market yourself.

  • Rebalancing

    Automatic rebalancing

    As prices move, the bot rebalances your crypto portfolio on schedule to keep allocations on target — portfolio rebalancing without spreadsheets or guesswork.

  • Diversification

    Diversified across many assets

    Instead of betting on a single coin, your capital is spread across dozens of crypto assets — built-in diversification for steadier, more balanced risk.

How the index works

What is the Stoic AI Crypto Index on Coinbase?

Stoic AI Crypto Index is a long-only smart-beta strategy that runs dozens of sub-strategies at once across a diversified basket of liquid crypto assets — no shorting, no leverage, fully automated.

Read more about the strategy
  • Weighting

    Market-cap weighted, momentum-tilted

    The index weights assets by market capitalization and tilts toward those showing upward momentum, while trimming positions that flash topping signals — capturing growth without chasing hype.

  • Universe

    Only liquid, tradable assets

    Only assets with at least $10M in daily trading volume are eligible, so the strategy can enter and exit positions without excessive slippage.

  • Risk control

    Concentration caps

    Each position is capped to keep concentration in check: any top-10 asset by market cap is limited to 25%, and every smaller asset to 10%. Bitcoin — the most liquid, established asset — is the one exception and can run without a cap.

  • Flexibility

    User-configurable USDT hedge

    Dial your own risk profile with a 0–100% USDT hedge allocation — reduce drawdowns when you want more safety, or stay fully invested to chase more upside.

Performance figures are derived from the Stoic AI Crypto Index's monthly return history since inception and may combine simulated/backtested and live trading periods. Backtested results are hypothetical and do not represent actual trades; they are subject to limitations including hindsight bias. All figures start from a hypothetical $10,000 initial investment with full reinvestment of returns and do not account for individual tax obligations, exchange commissions, or slippage. This is a long-only strategy with no shorting or leverage, but materially higher volatility and drawdown risk than market-neutral strategies. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investing in cryptocurrency involves significant risk, including possible loss of principal. Stoic AI operates as an automated trading manager and does not provide personalised investment advice.

What to expect

How the Coinbase trading bot behaves in different markets

The Stoic AI Crypto Index is long-only, so it follows the broad crypto market — up and down. Here is what that means in each regime, so you know what you are signing up for.

  • Bull market

    Captures the upside

    When crypto trends up, the index rides it: momentum tilts shift weight toward the strongest assets and daily rebalancing keeps the portfolio invested rather than sitting in cash.

  • Sideways market

    Grinds and rebalances

    In a range-bound market returns are modest. Rebalancing keeps harvesting moves between assets, but fees and spreads weigh more heavily when there is little trend to capture.

  • Bear market

    Falls with the market

    Long-only means no shorting: in a downtrend the portfolio declines along with crypto as a whole. The deepest fall on record is 68.71%, and the strategy is still well below its all-time peak — the chart above shows where it stands. Raising your USDT hedge cuts exposure when you want more safety.

Why diversification matters

Built as an index, not a single bet

Picking the next winning coin is a bet on being right about one asset. An index instead spreads exposure across the market itself — smoothing out the risk of being wrong about any single position.

  • Risk

    Lower idiosyncratic risk

    Broad exposure across many assets reduces how much any single coin's bad news can hurt your portfolio — one weak position doesn't sink the whole account.

  • Growth

    Capture market-wide growth

    Instead of timing which single asset will outperform, an index captures the broader growth of the crypto market as a whole.

  • Horizon

    Built for the long term

    A longer holding horizon smooths out short-term volatility — index-style investing is designed to be held through cycles, not traded around them.

  • Discipline

    Systematic, not emotional

    Rules-based daily rebalancing removes the guesswork and emotional decision-making that trip up most manual portfolios.

The case for a rules-based crypto index isn't only intuition. Institutional research — including studies from Coinbase Research and Two Sigma's Venn — has found that adding even a small, regularly rebalanced crypto allocation historically improved a traditional portfolio's risk-adjusted returns, because crypto contributes a diversifying source of risk that stocks and bonds alone don't capture.

Same strategy, different exchange

How performance can differ on Coinbase

The Stoic AI Crypto Index runs the same rules everywhere, but fees, liquidity and order-size constraints differ by exchange — and Coinbase's fees are notably higher than some competitors, so the strategy trades more slowly here to manage fee drag.

Exchange Spot fees (maker / taker) Perps / futures (maker / taker) Trading universe Practical notes for performance
Binance 0.10% / 0.10% USDⓈ-M 0.02% / 0.04% 500+ cryptocurrencies Strong liquidity on major pairs; fees and depth often favour active execution.
Binance.US 0% / 0.01% 190+ cryptocurrencies Spot-only; regional restrictions can affect the available execution universe.
Coinbase 0.40% / 0.60% Intl 0.02% / 0.04% 275+ supported assets Higher spot fees at low tiers, so the index trades more slowly to limit fee drag; regulatory access varies by region.
Crypto.com From 0.075% From 0.034% 400+ cryptocurrencies Tiered maker/taker fees; promotions can materially change realised costs.
KuCoin 0.10% / 0.10% 0.02% / 0.06% 700+ cryptocurrencies Very broad listings; liquidity quality varies across long-tail assets.
Bybit 0.10% / 0.10% 0.02% / 0.055% 2,000+ trading pairs Deep derivatives liquidity; taker fees matter for fast execution.
Hyperliquid 0.04% / 0.07% 0.015% / 0.045% 100+ perpetual markets On-chain order-book DEX; Stoic runs perps here, so funding and taker fees drive costs.

I’ve been using stoic for almost three months with great returns! Not being able to be on top of the markets 24/7 stoic does that for me with great results much better than me being on top of it! Would recommend it to anyone!

Been using Stoic for over a year now and really like it. Their trading strategy seems to work well. The customer service is really great and always there to answer any questions, they are very helpful. Glad I found this app!!!

I'll keep this simple. I was a skeptic, a major one. I just put in a small amount of my total portfolio in Stoic (around 1%). In about 3 months, without any further additions, Stoic grew that 1% to around 4%. If that doesn't signal quality, I don't know what does. Cheers to the Stoic team, keep doing what you're doing.

I have been with Stoic from April and experience the Dump in the market and decide to run this wave with It and see what happen. The drop was smoother then the market but still I was 35% down !!! Well today I’m up 60% and literally I don’t have to do anything. I can’t wait to experience this Altcoin with Stoic. From my experience when the market go south Stoic will too (I little smoother if you use hedging) and when the market is in the bull run it will perform better then BTC. Also the support team is great with all my questions of an inexperience user.

Number one advice is to not put all of your eggs in one basket. I started with a small amount and noticed consistant gains. I decided to add 10% of my crypto portfolio and all was good until the crypto market fell. My portfolio in stoic fell in consequence slightly below my capital. That was scary but I held on (diamond hands lol). Today Sep 2021 I’m up again about 25%. I’m going to stick with this for the long run and most likely will add more funds. This service only invests going long but would benefit by taking a certain percentage of the portfolio and going short.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About the Coinbase Trading Bot

  • The Stoic AI Crypto Index is a long-only, smart-beta crypto strategy that runs dozens of sub-strategies at once. It weights assets by market capitalization, tilts toward positive momentum, and trims assets showing topping signals — without ever shorting or using leverage.
  • Market-neutral strategies like Meta hold both long and short positions to profit regardless of market direction. The Stoic AI Crypto Index is long-only — it profits when the broader crypto market rises, with a configurable USDT hedge to manage downside risk.
  • The minimum account size is $500. This allows the index to diversify across dozens of assets simultaneously, keeping individual positions small and risk properly distributed.
  • Yes. You connect through Coinbase's own secure OAuth authorization — there are no API keys to copy, paste or store. Stoic is granted permission to place trades only; it can never withdraw or move funds out of your Coinbase account, and you can revoke Stoic's access from your Coinbase settings at any time.
  • Create a Stoic account at app.stoic.ai, choose Coinbase and a plan that fits your portfolio size, then click "Connect Coinbase account" and authorize secure access on Coinbase. There are no API keys to manage — Stoic starts trading automatically, and the integration can take up to 24 hours.
  • Stoic charges a flat subscription based on your portfolio size — there is no performance fee. All trading profits go directly to you. Plans are tiered by account size: Starter — $24/month or $149/year (up to $2,500), Plus — $39/month or $239/year (up to $5,000), and Pro — $66/month or $399/year (up to $10,000). Portfolios above $10,000 stay on Pro plus a 5% yearly fee on the value above $10,000. Full details on our Pricing page.
  • Yes. Since your funds remain in your own Coinbase account at all times, you can disconnect the bot and withdraw whenever you want. There are no lock-up periods imposed by Stoic.
  • The index has a multi-year track record with a large cumulative gain, and drawdowns to match: its deepest fall from peak to trough is 68.71%, far beyond what market-neutral strategies see, and it is still below its all-time peak. The performance section above carries the current figures and is updated monthly. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
  • Yes. The bot rebalances positions automatically every day based on the index rules. You do not need to monitor or adjust positions manually.
  • Coinbase Advanced charges about 0.40% maker and 0.60% taker at the entry tier, falling as your 30-day volume grows. These are among the higher fees across the venues Stoic supports, so on Coinbase the index rebalances more conservatively to keep fee drag down.
  • No. Coinbase connects through its own secure authorization, so there are no API keys to generate, paste or store. You grant Stoic permission to trade, and you can withdraw that permission from your Coinbase account whenever you want. Stoic can never move funds out.
  • Grid and DCA bots do what you tell them: you set the range or the buying interval and they repeat it. Stoic runs a strategy instead of a rule — the Stoic AI Crypto Index decides the basket, the weights and the rebalancing schedule for your whole Coinbase portfolio. You choose the strategy; you never tune parameters.
