OctoBot: Platform Profile

Overview

OctoBot is an open-source cryptocurrency trading bot with both self-hosted and OctoBot Cloud workflows.

Current product materials combine:

• open-source software;
• local/server self-hosting;
• a hosted cloud service;
• DCA and basket strategies;
• AI investing and AI strategy creation;
• TradingView automation;
• futures on the Pro plan;
• paper trading;
• exchange-specific bots;
• a newer self-custody mobile architecture.

That breadth makes one distinction essential:

OctoBot Cloud, self-hosted OctoBot and the self-custody mobile design are not the same deployment or credential model.

May fit better for

• users who want open-source trading automation;
• traders who want a hosted option without losing the ability to self-host;
• users who want AI-assisted strategy creation;
• investors automating DCA or crypto-basket rules;
• traders using TradingView alerts;
• eligible users who want futures automation;
• technically capable users who value self-custody or local-control options.

May fit less well for

• investors seeking regulated discretionary management;
• people who do not want cryptocurrency or derivatives exposure;
• users who assume open source eliminates software or configuration risk;
• traders who want one universal credential model across every deployment;
• investors who interpret AI-generated content as personalized advice;
• users who treat displayed strategy performance as a forecast;
• people who do not want to monitor automated execution.

Drakkar-Software provides OctoBot Cloud

Current Terms state:

• Provider: Drakkar-Software
• Service: OctoBot Cloud
• Provider address: 15 rue des halles, 75001 Paris, France

The Terms describe OctoBot Cloud as a SaaS service that hosts the OctoBot cryptocurrency trading-bot software.

---

OctoBot is open source and can be self-hosted

Current homepage materials say OctoBot is open source and the code is public on GitHub.

They also say users can install and run OctoBot on their own computer or server.

This makes OctoBot structurally different from a cloud-only bot.

Self-hosting gives the user greater infrastructure control and more operational responsibility.

Cloud hosting reduces local maintenance but changes the service boundary.

---

The self-custody bot is a separate current architecture

OctoBot also markets a self-custody trading-bot architecture.

Current materials say:

• the user's keys never leave the user's devices;
• even the OctoBot team cannot access those keys;
• the bot is not running on someone else's server in that self-custody model;
• the workflow is designed for both centralized and decentralized exchanges.

The self-custody page also presents the product as an early-access/emerging mobile workflow.

Therefore:

• Self custody feature maturity: current/early-access product lane

Current cloud plans run from free to $29.99 per month

Current OctoBot pricing displayed on first-party pages is:

• Investor monthly: $0
• Investor Plus monthly: $9.99
• Pro monthly: $29.99

AI strategy creation begins on Investor Plus in the current plan display

Current plan and TradingView pages state that users can create a strategy with AI on Investor Plus.

The product also publishes ChatGPT-themed strategy content and other AI investing material.

The current Terms put a decisive boundary around that content:

AI services, strategies and answers are informational and do not constitute financial, investment, legal, tax or other professional advice.

---

Current Terms preserve user responsibility for strategy outcomes

OctoBot's current Terms say users can:

• use supplied strategies;
• customize strategies;
• copy strategies;
• create and publish strategies.

They also say users are responsible for gains and losses.

The Terms specifically warn that displayed performance is based on past data and cannot guarantee future performance.

That should remain visible around ChatGPT-strategy, backtest and community-strategy content.

---

Crypto baskets can update automatically

Current Terms say a crypto basket's composition may be automatically updated in response to changing market conditions to align with the selected basket's goal.

This is automated strategy behavior.

It does not by itself establish individualized fiduciary discretion.

The user selects or uses the product and remains responsible for the investment risk under the supplied Terms.

---

TradingView automation is a Pro feature in the current plan display

Current TradingView materials show the workflow:

1. define a TradingView strategy or alert;
2. connect OctoBot;
3. define the amount to trade;
4. allow the TradingView event to trigger execution.

A paid TradingView account can be required for webhook functionality.

This external dependency is separate from the OctoBot subscription.

---

Futures are available on the Pro plan reference

Current plan materials state:

• Futures trading Pro: Yes

Futures capability raises risk materially.

Possible losses can be affected by:

• leverage;
• liquidation;
• funding;
• rapid price moves;
• margin requirements;
• venue-specific contract terms.

---

OctoBot says it does not add a trading fee in exchange-bot workflows

Current OctoBot exchange-bot materials state that OctoBot takes no trading fee and the connected exchange's trading fees remain payable.

The user can still pay:

• OctoBot subscription fees;
• exchange fees;
• spread;
• slippage;
• funding;
• borrowing or margin costs;
• network/gas fees on decentralized workflows;
• taxes.

---

Exchange support is not a universal market matrix

OctoBot publishes exchange-specific bot pages for venues such as:

• Binance;
• Coinbase;
• MEXC;
• Hyperliquid.

Different connectors can support different:

• market types;
• credentials;
• futures products;
• order types;
• regions.

Hyperliquid or Binance futures support should not be assigned to every account.

---

Open source does not eliminate strategy or supply-chain risk

Open-source code can improve inspectability.

It does not guarantee that:

• every user audits the code;
• every dependency is safe;
• every update is bug-free;
• a strategy is economically sound;
• a self-hosted server is secure;
• an exchange remains operational.

The deployment choice changes where risk sits.

It does not remove risk.

Assessment

OctoBot is useful to ROIStreet because it shows that “trading bot” no longer describes one deployment model.

The same brand spans:

open-source local software → hosted OctoBot Cloud → self-custody mobile architecture.

Those choices change:

• key custody;
• infrastructure responsibility;
• uptime dependency;
• operational control.

The current $0, $9.99 and $29.99 plan structure makes the cloud product comparatively easy to describe, while the open-source route offers a separate no-license-cost starting point.

The AI feature should be treated as a strategy-construction and informational capability, not as proof of regulated management.

The strongest editorial guard is the platform's own Terms: past or displayed strategy performance does not guarantee future performance, and AI content is not professional advice.
