Gunbot: Platform Profile

Overview

Gunbot is a locally executed cryptocurrency trading-automation platform for users who want to run strategies on their own computer, server or VPS rather than place the live trading engine inside a vendor-hosted SaaS bot.

Current product materials support:

  • spot automation;
  • futures and derivatives on eligible exchanges;
  • Grid and DCA-style logic;
  • indicator strategies;
  • AutoConfig;
  • custom JavaScript;
  • TradingView/webhook integration;
  • backtesting;
  • a forward simulator on higher plans;
  • DeFi integrations;
  • an AI strategy-generation workflow.

The defining product boundary is:

the trading engine and exchange API secrets can remain on hardware controlled by the user.

That architecture differs materially from cloud bot services that require the provider's servers to store the exchange secret and send every order.

May fit better for

  • traders who want API secrets stored locally;
  • technical users comfortable running a bot on Windows, macOS, Linux or a VPS;
  • users who want custom JavaScript strategy logic;
  • traders who want spot and derivatives support under one automation engine;
  • users who prefer lifetime-license options;
  • advanced users who want DeFi integrations;
  • users who want AI to prototype strategy code but still control deployment.

May fit less well for

  • investors seeking discretionary fiduciary management;
  • users who want a completely hands-off hosted service;
  • people unwilling to maintain a computer or VPS for live automation;
  • traders who assume local key storage prevents strategy losses;
  • users who need one stable current price across every Gunbot page;
  • investors who do not want crypto, derivatives or DeFi risk;
  • users who expect an AI-generated strategy to be validated automatically.

Gunbot identifies Gunthar de Niro S.L.R. as the product company

Current first-party footer and product materials identify:

  • Legal company: Gunthar de Niro S.L.R.

Preserve that exact supplied string.

---

Gunbot is locally executed rather than a conventional cloud bot

Current security documentation states that Gunbot encrypts API secrets and stores them locally on the user's device.

It also explicitly describes Gunbot as not a cloud service in the ordinary live-execution sense.

Gunbot Unlimited adds a cloud workspace for management, but current product materials say the live trading engine still runs on the user's own Gunbot instance.

Therefore store:

  • Gunbot Unlimited cloud workspace: Yes
  • Gunbot Unlimited live engine still local: Yes
  • Deployment model is vendor cloud execution: No

---

Local execution changes responsibility rather than eliminating it

Local key custody reduces exposure to a centralized vendor credential store.

It transfers more operational responsibility to the user.

A live Gunbot setup can depend on:

  • computer or VPS uptime;
  • network connectivity;
  • operating-system security;
  • local account security;
  • filesystem access;
  • backups;
  • exchange API configuration;
  • firewall settings;
  • software updates;
  • strategy configuration.

A poorly secured VPS can still be compromised.

A securely stored API secret can still be used by the authorized bot to make losing trades.

---

Current first-party Gunbot pricing does not reconcile cleanly

Gunbot currently has a material first-party pricing conflict.

The live Plans page displays time-sensitive “Summer deals” in euros:

  • Plans page Standard list: €199 lifetime
  • Plans page Standard promo: €44.25 lifetime
  • Plans page Pro list: €299 lifetime
  • Plans page Pro promo: €111.75 lifetime
  • Plans page DeFi list: €499 lifetime
  • Plans page DeFi promo: €186.75 lifetime

A current Gunbot pricing FAQ separately states:

  • Pricing FAQ Standard: $599 lifetime
  • Pricing FAQ Pro: $899 lifetime
  • Pricing FAQ DeFi: $1,499 lifetime
  • Gunbot Unlimited: $29/month

Those two official sources are materially inconsistent.

The review can show both current first-party references and tell readers to verify checkout before purchase.

---

Standard, Pro and DeFi have materially different scope

Current Plans-page references establish these product distinctions.

Standard

  • Standard:
  • Exchange slots: 1
  • Spot trading: Yes
  • Futures trading: Yes
  • Unlimited pairs: Yes
  • Unlimited gridbots: Yes
  • Native strategies: Yes
  • AutoConfig: Yes

Pro

  • Pro:
  • Includes Standard: Yes
  • Exchange slots: 3
  • Backtesting: Yes

DeFi

  • DeFi:
  • Includes Pro: Yes
  • Exchange slots: unlimited
  • DeFi trading: Yes
  • Custom JavaScript: Yes
  • Simulator: Yes
  • TradingView integration: Yes
  • REST API: Yes

Plan features can change.

---

Gunbot Unlimited is a separate subscription route

Current Gunbot materials describe Unlimited as a monthly alternative to the lifetime-license structure.

Current Unlimited descriptions include advanced capabilities such as:

  • unrestricted exchange connections;
  • advanced backtesting;
  • arbitrage;
  • multi-bot management;
  • cloud workspace access.

The live engine remains locally controlled according to the supplied materials.

---

Gunbot AI generates strategy prototypes

Gunbot currently markets an AI workflow that can transform text descriptions into executable strategy prototypes.

The site says the technology is powered by the same general technology family as ChatGPT and understands Gunbot-specific methods and data points.

The first-party page itself advises users to test machine-generated strategies in the simulator before live trading.

That warning is economically important.

A generated strategy can be syntactically valid while still containing:

  • poor entry logic;
  • poor exit logic;
  • unstable sizing;
  • hidden leverage;
  • excessive turnover;
  • overfitted conditions;
  • insufficient risk limits;
  • incompatible exchange assumptions;
  • bad behavior during outages.

The AI reduces coding friction.

It does not establish expected profitability.

---

Backtesting and simulation are not forecasts

Current plans include backtesting on Pro and DeFi, with simulator access on higher current configurations.

Live results can diverge because of:

  • spread;
  • fees;
  • slippage;
  • funding;
  • latency;
  • partial fills;
  • liquidity;
  • exchange outages;
  • API rejection;
  • liquidation;
  • market-regime changes.

---

Futures and DeFi expand the risk surface

Current Gunbot plans explicitly support futures on eligible integrations.

DeFi adds decentralized venues such as selected perpetual and AMM protocols.

Exchange availability does not override:

  • customer location;
  • venue rules;
  • account eligibility;
  • local law;
  • product restrictions.

---

Withdrawal permission is not universalized in this package

Current supplied Gunbot sources clearly establish local storage of exchange secrets.

They do not establish one universal withdrawal-permission configuration for every supported connector.

Where a future Gunbot exchange-specific guide explicitly states the permission requirement, that fact can be added to the relevant connector or update.

---

Exchange coverage is broad but not identical by market

Current Gunbot material references more than 20 supported centralized and decentralized integrations, with examples including:

  • Binance;
  • Binance.US;
  • Coinbase Advanced;
  • Kraken;
  • KuCoin;
  • Bybit;
  • Bitget;
  • OKX;
  • HyperLiquid;
  • dYdX;
  • PancakeSwap.

A connector can differ in:

  • spot support;
  • futures support;
  • authentication;
  • order types;
  • leverage;
  • DeFi wallet behavior.

Assessment

Gunbot's strongest differentiator is not merely that it has many bot strategies.

It is the deployment model.

The live engine and API secret can stay on a machine controlled by the user, which gives technically capable traders a different security and privacy boundary than a conventional hosted bot service.

The trade-off is operational responsibility.

Gunbot also has a meaningful AI feature because it can turn text descriptions into strategy code rather than simply answer trading questions.

That capability deserves a strong simulation guard.

The largest current consumer-information problem is pricing.

Gunbot's own Plans page and pricing FAQ present materially different lifetime figures. ROIStreet should preserve that conflict until the first-party sources reconcile.
