- Marketplace of shared signals
Limitations to know
- Limited support for true LLM-driven or custom-logic strategies

- Customization requires leaving the bot model
Recommendation
Who should pick 3Commas?
Best for
Traders who want a simple grid or DCA bot running across several spot venues with no code and no LLM setup.
Not ideal for
Anyone who wants to describe a strategy in natural language, run a Python program against live market context, or trade perpetuals as a first-class case.
Switching
Migration note for Hyperoru.
Hyperoru does not import 3Commas bots directly. Re-express your rules as either a prompt or a short Python program and re-attach your exchange keys.
