3Commas v2026.8

3Commas is a trading automation platform with a desktop client for Windows. It offers grid, DCA, and smart-trade bots, portfolio dashboards, and backtesting tools, connecting to exchanges through read-and-trade API keys that can be revoked at any time.

Strategies can be started in paper mode to test parameters without risking funds, then moved to a live account once results look stable. Notifications arrive by email, mobile push, or Telegram, and risk limits cap the exposure of each bot.
