The crypto market is dynamic, operates 24/7, and requires constant analysis that is often humanly impossible to track with total accuracy. This is where AI agents come in, like the ones I'm testing at Walbi AI.
Recently, I shared on my channel Diovane Lopes how these agents operate in practice, and the insights are invaluable for those looking to automate part of their trading strategy.
What Are AI Agents in Trading?
Unlike a regular "bot" that just follows fixed rules, an AI agent can "think" and adjust its strategy based on real-time data, market sentiment, and news. At Walbi, each agent has its own personality and specific line of reasoning:
• Long Term vs. Short Term: Some agents focus on trades that last weeks, aiming for big moves. Others can be configured for scalping (very short trades).
• Risk Management: I've seen agents that prefer to open multiple small orders (fragmentation) instead of one large order, aiming to protect capital.
• Sentiment Analysis: They don't just look at the chart; they assess whether the market sentiment is bullish or bearish before opening a Long or Short.
Capital Allocation Strategies
One of the questions I get asked the most is: 'What to do when an agent is not performing well?'. The market changes, and an agent that made great profits yesterday may struggle in a new scenario. Here are three paths:
Patience: Keeping the agent running, understanding that the scenario may turn favorable to his strategy again.
Strategic Pause: Temporarily closing trades and waiting for a clearer market moment.
Reallocation: Shifting capital from an underperforming agent to one that is performing better in the current scenario.
Transparency and Control
The most interesting part is the ability to chat with the AI. In the video, I showed how I asked the agent about a specific entry point. He explained that he saw a 'safe condition,' had free margin, and the risk was low. This level of transparency helps the trader understand the logic behind the automation.
Conclusion
AI doesn't replace the trader, but it acts as a powerful co-pilot. Monitoring the trade history, understanding the average entry price, the profit targets (Take Profit), and the Stop Loss configured by the AI is essential for maintaining control over your capital.
Do you already use any AI tools in your trades, or do you still prefer the 100% manual mode? Let's discuss in the comments!
