Why automate

Why Use a KuCoin Trading Bot?

A KuCoin trading bot handles the ongoing work of running your exchange portfolio for you — disciplined, automated execution 24/7 across KuCoin's broad market, without staring at charts or trying to catch tops and bottoms by hand.

  • Automation

    Automated portfolio management

    Your entire KuCoin portfolio is managed for you — the bot places and sizes every order automatically over your API connection, so there are no manual trades to place and nothing to time.

  • 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 KuCoin?

On KuCoin, the Stoic AI Crypto Index spreads your capital across a diversified basket drawn from the exchange's 700+ listed cryptocurrencies — a long-only smart-beta strategy running dozens of sub-strategies simultaneously, with no shorting, no leverage and full automation.

Read more about the strategy
  • Weighting

    Market-cap weighted, momentum-tilted

    Assets are weighted by market capitalization with a tilt toward momentum, so the heaviest weights sit in KuCoin's largest, strongest markets while names flashing topping signals get trimmed.

  • Universe

    Only liquid, tradable assets

    Only assets with at least $10M in daily trading volume are eligible — across KuCoin's 700+ listed cryptocurrencies, the index trades only names it can enter and exit without excessive slippage.

  • Risk control

    Concentration caps

    Position caps keep the basket honest: any top-10 asset is limited to 25% of the portfolio, every smaller one to 10%, with Bitcoin — the most liquid, established asset — the only position allowed to run uncapped.

  • Flexibility

    User-configurable USDT hedge

    The 0–100% USDT hedge is your risk dial: raise it to blunt drawdowns on KuCoin, lower it to stay fully invested when you want the full 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 KuCoin trading bot behaves in different markets

The Stoic AI Crypto Index is long-only, so on KuCoin it follows the broad crypto market — up and down. With KuCoin's flat 0.10% fees and deep 700+ market, here is what to expect from the strategy in each regime.

  • Bull market

    Captures the upside

    When crypto trends up, the index is already positioned: momentum tilts lean into the strongest of KuCoin's markets, and daily rebalancing keeps capital invested rather than waiting in cash.

  • Sideways market

    Grinds and rebalances

    In a range-bound market returns are modest. Rebalancing keeps harvesting moves between assets, and KuCoin's flat 0.10% fees keep the cost of that churn predictable when there is little trend to capture.

  • Bear market

    Falls with the market

    Long-only means no shorting: when crypto falls, the index falls with it. Its deepest decline on record is 68.71% and it remains well below its all-time peak — the chart above shows where it stands. Raising your USDT hedge is the built-in way to cut exposure.

Why diversification matters

One index across KuCoin's 700+ markets

Picking tomorrow's winner out of 700+ KuCoin listings is a bet on one asset against hundreds. The index takes the other route: it holds a broad, rules-based slice of that market, so no single listing decides your outcome.

  • Risk

    Lower idiosyncratic risk

    With capital spread across dozens of KuCoin markets, one token's delisting, exploit or bad news moves your portfolio by a fraction — not by half.

  • Growth

    Capture market-wide growth

    Rather than guessing which of 700+ listings leads the next quarter, the index holds the liquid core of the market and captures its growth wherever it comes from.

  • Horizon

    Built for the long term

    Index investing is built to be held through cycles: short-term noise in individual KuCoin markets averages out while the long-term trend does the work.

  • Discipline

    Systematic, not emotional

    Daily, rules-based rebalancing does the adjusting for you — no panic sells, no FOMO buys, no staring at KuCoin charts.

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 KuCoin

The Stoic AI Crypto Index runs the same rules everywhere, but fees, liquidity and order-size constraints differ by exchange. KuCoin pairs a broad universe of 700+ cryptocurrencies with flat 0.10% spot fees, giving the strategy plenty of assets to diversify across at a predictable cost.

Read the full breakdown
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.

What traders say about the Stoic KuCoin trading bot Real results from real users

Don't just take our word for it — here's what our users say about their experience with the KuCoin bot.

5.0

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.

I’ve been using Stoic for 3 months now and as a crypto novice, who didn’t want to have to be in my investment app daily, or minute by minute, adjusting investments, this app is amazing! I joined just as the crash happened and lost 30% of my investment when it did, not due to Stoic it was just the market, but Stoic recovered the 30% in 2 months, as the market recovered, and then made a further 30% return on top of this! All of the above without me touching a single thing. If you’re looking for an ai app to manage your crypto, this is the one. It’s easy to setup, even as a complete novice, and is a really simple app to use. I highly recommend this app to anyone looking for a hands off investment experience.

I happened to stumble upon this app before the start of the Bull run. When I matched my stoic gains to my straight HODL gains, stoic made an extra 100%. Highly recommended

Application very good and simple for use. Also management fee is reasonable, only profit calculation are not as accurate however still good in general!

kupybtc
4.0

To state the obvious when the crypto market is up this app does really well. When it is down it still beat the drop to limit losses. I started with a small amount invested to try it out and liked the way it hedged and spread out investment t across many tokens. My biggest drop occurred when I had a balance owing and they stopped trading. This was a big issue for me as My Investment took a huge hit and the app gave no notification that I was in arrears. They helped resolve the issue and we are back on track and I have just passed 50% gains since April 2021.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About the KuCoin 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 generate API keys on KuCoin with trading permissions only — no withdrawal rights — so Stoic can trade on your behalf but can never withdraw funds. KuCoin requires KYC and funds in your account to trade via API, and you can disable or delete the keys in KuCoin's API Management to revoke Stoic's access at any time.
  • Create a Stoic account at app.stoic.ai, pick KuCoin and a plan for your portfolio size, then create API keys with trading permissions in KuCoin's API Management and add them to Stoic — you can scan the QR code or paste the key, secret and passphrase. Stoic starts trading automatically and setup 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 KuCoin 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.
  • KuCoin charges a flat 0.10% maker and taker fee on spot at the base level, with discounts as your volume or KCS holdings grow. Predictable, mid-range fees mean the index can rebalance across KuCoin's large market without heavy cost drag.
  • A sub-account isn't required, but many users create one to ring-fence the funds Stoic trades from the rest of their KuCoin balance. Either way, Stoic connects with trading-only API keys and can never withdraw your funds.
  • Yes — KuCoin requires identity verification (KYC) and funds in your trading account to trade via API. Once verified, you generate API keys in KuCoin's API Management, whitelist Stoic's IPs and add them to Stoic to start trading.
  • A grid bot trades a range you define and a DCA bot buys on a schedule you set; both keep doing that until you intervene. Stoic instead runs a research-built strategy over your whole KuCoin balance: the Stoic AI Crypto Index chooses which of the liquid markets to hold, weights them, and rebalances daily. You are choosing a strategy rather than configuring a tool.
