Poloniex Trading Bot

About Poloniex

Poloniex was started in 2014 by Tristan D'Agosta and was acquired by Circle in early 2018 before a later spin-out. It offers a broad range of cryptocurrency pairs, leverage trading, and charting tools.

Poloniex Futures, launched in July 2020, offers USDT-margined perpetual contracts on a range of cryptocurrencies with leverage of up to 100x. Both the spot and futures venues are separate integrations on our side.

For automation, Poloniex is a long-tail venue: it lists pairs that larger exchanges have dropped, which makes it useful for arbitrage legs and for strategies on older assets. Verify depth on any specific market before committing size, because the books are thinner than they were during the exchange's peak.

Strategies you can run on Poloniex

• 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

Poloniex'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 Poloniex data before you commit capital, and you can connect an AI assistant through our MCP server to audit and write strategies in conversation.
