Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What is Robo Trading and how does it work on Delta Exchange?
Answer: Robo Trading lets users allocate funds to pre-built automated strategies that run 24/7 - no coding, API setup, or manual intervention needed. Delta Exchange handles execution across momentum, arbitrage, and market-making logic.
Q2. What automated crypto trading strategies are available on Delta Exchange?
Answer: Delta Exchange offers Top 20 Momentum, Cash-Future Arbitrage, Large Cap AMM, and BTC/ETH Trend Following. Each targets different market conditions, letting users diversify across multiple uncorrelated strategies simultaneously.
Q3. How does the Top 20 Momentum strategy work?
Answer: It ranks the top 20 crypto assets by recent performance, rotates into strongest performers, and periodically rebalances - selling laggards, buying leaders - to capture trend-following returns across the broader market.
Q4. What's the difference between Cash-Future Arbitrage and AMM strategies?
Answer: Cash-Future Arbitrage captures the spread between spot and futures prices for market-neutral returns. AMM strategies mimic decentralised market-making - earning bid-ask spreads by providing liquidity across price ranges rather than taking directional bets.
Q5. How do you get started with Robo Trading?
Answer: Go to the Robo Trading section, pick a strategy, review its historical performance and risk metrics, then allocate USDT. Execution starts automatically - no technical knowledge or manual order entry required.
Q6. How does the Large Cap AMM strategy generate returns?
Answer: It deploys capital as virtual liquidity across price bands for BTC and ETH, earning the spread on every trade within its range. Returns compound over time in a market-neutral fashion.
Q7. Can users exit a Robo Trading strategy at any time?
Answer: Yes. Exit anytime from your dashboard - open positions close at market rates and funds return to your wallet instantly. No lock-up periods apply, though exit timing affects final realised PnL.
