About Bitsgap

Bitsgap is a bot platform built around grid, DCA and combo bots. Its pricing page lists a free plan with 20 demo bots, then Basic at $29, Advanced at $69 and Pro at $149 a month. Paid plans include an AI assistant, backtesting runs up to 30, 180 or 365 days depending on the plan, and futures bots start on Advanced.

What TradeCorgi adds

• Rules you can read. The strategy card is the agent; editing it creates a new version that starts on paper again.
• Backtests that include costs: the exchange's fee for your tier and slippage on every simulated order, the worst drop shown at the same size as the result, next to holding the coin.
• Limits enforced in code: no agent runs without a budget, a stop-loss, a daily loss limit and a cap on open positions, all checked before every order. Spot only, no leverage, no averaging down beyond 2 entries.
• A reason for every trade, and for every time the agent stayed out, in your language.
• No AI on the order path: the language model drafts and explains; a rules engine places orders.
• Your own exchange account on Binance, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase or Kraken, through a trade-only key.

A worked example

A Bitsgap user runs a BTC grid between two prices. On TradeCorgi they describe a guarded range rule: trade BTC between $84,000 and $90,000, buy $50 at $86,000 and $85,000, sell each at +2.5%, and stop below $83,000. The backtest covers up to 4 years on Autopilot, with Binance's fees on every order, next to holding BTC. This is an illustrative example, not a real result.

Questions to ask before you switch

• How much history do you want to test on? TradeCorgi offers up to 4 years on Autopilot and the full exchange history on Pro.
• Do you think in bot settings or in rules? On TradeCorgi you describe the rule, and confirm exactly what will run.
• Do you want every trade explained? Each TradeCorgi trade, and each skipped trade, comes with a written reason.

How to move to TradeCorgi

1. Write your current bot's rules in one or two sentences. For example: "Buy $50 of BTC when it falls 5% within 24 hours, sell at 4% above the buy, stop at 6% below, at most 2 buys open."
2. Describe it to your Corgi. It asks for anything missing, such as a daily loss limit.
3. Confirm the strategy card and read the backtest over a period you know, with your exchange's fees included.
4. Run it on paper alongside your existing setup and compare the decisions.
5. Create a new trade-only key for TradeCorgi, with withdrawals off and IP whitelisting on, and keep budgets separate.
6. Go live small, then switch off the old bot once you are satisfied.

Who each suits

• TradeCorgi suits traders who think in rules rather than settings, and want limits that cannot be skipped and a written reason for every trade.
• Bitsgap suits traders who mainly run grid and DCA bots, want futures bots, and like an AI assistant inside a bot platform.
