Incremental buying or selling of any crypto asset.

Trading crypto is a game of dealing with harsh volatility and the uncertainties of timing the market. Most traders get it wrong. Throw in human emotions and all you get is anxiety rather than profits. Ladder trading is a strategy to minimize the risks and reap greater rewards. This software automates the strategy while removing human emotions.

Ladder trading is incremental buying or selling of any crypto asset rather than opting for a single price. These incremental buy or sell orders are called ladder steps. Ladder trading will limit your losses during the market fluctuations by spreading in and out of positions.

Should you want to exit the market and sell your asset, your average sell price will be closer to the ATH. Should you want to enter the market and buy an asset, you'll be buying dips and your average buy price will be closer to the bottom. Either way, you'll maximize your profits by pushing the average price in the desired direction.

In essence, you are executing a better dollar-cost-averaging (DCA) trading strategy where you are selling (or buying) an asset regularly, doing away with the attempt at the market timing. Because this software will slowly but surely increase your order size, your average price will be better (compared to non-laddered DCA)

• minimize the risks
• does away with the need for timing the market
• tackling high volatility
• less anxiety

At the time of this writing, the software supports the following exchanges:

• Coinbase
• Bitstamp
• Binance
• ParaSwap

Please note this software will NEVER broadcast an on-chain transaction to the network and spend your ETH on gas. This software only ever interacts with (off-chain) CEXes or send signatures (aka gasless transactions) to a DEX.

If on-chain transactions are needed (for example: to approve an asset or cancel your limit orders on a DEX), this software will prompt you with a nice message and be done with it. This is the designed behavior and not a bug.

When your limit orders are getting filled on a DEX, market makers are paying for the gas.
