KuCoin Trading Bot

About KuCoin

KuCoin is a Seychelles-incorporated exchange founded in 2017, with one of the broader altcoin selections among major venues. Trading fees are reduced by holding its native KCS token, and assets are held largely in cold storage.

KuCoin Futures offers USDT-margined perpetuals, coin-margined inverse perpetuals, and dated quarterly delivery contracts, with leverage up to 100x on most assets and 125x on selected majors. KuCoin does not serve US customers.

For automation, KuCoin is the venue to reach for when your strategy needs pairs the larger exchanges have not listed, which is useful for arbitrage and for rotation strategies that need a wide universe. Thin books on the long tail are the trade-off: backtest with realistic slippage assumptions before putting size on a small-cap pair.

Strategies you can run on KuCoin

• Arbitrage: exploit price differences between two connected venues, so it needs a second exchange
• DCA: average into a position on a schedule or on drawdown triggers
• Grid trading: ladder orders through a range and work the swings inside it
• Market making: quote both sides and earn the spread
• Ping pong: buy a level, sell the next one up, repeat
• Scalping: short-horizon entries and exits on your own tick interval
• Signals: trade an external webhook, from TradingView or your own source, with each incoming signal firing the bot immediately
• WaveRunner: grid trading with anchor-scale safety and auto re-anchoring
• Zone recovery: hedge a losing position rather than close it, and work back to flat
• Custom HaasScript: Lua-based, 750+ built-in commands, visual or full-script editors

KuCoin's spot and derivatives markets are separate integrations on our side, so one set of API keys gives your bots both order books and a spot strategy and a leveraged one can run side by side.

Every strategy can be backtested against historical KuCoin data before you commit capital, and you can connect an AI assistant through our MCP server to audit and write strategies in conversation.
