How to sign up with Zenbot?
To sign up, we have to follow several strategies.
- We can work with four operational systems: Windows, Linux. macOS 10 (or Docker).
- The Node.js version over 8.3.0 and MongoDB are required.
- The system should be launched through the console.
- We have to provide the system with API keys.
- API keys don’t require deposit/withdrawal permissions.
- We can use a UI to manage orders.
We have to download the robot and customize it properly. Afterwards, we have generated API keys for it to work on our behalf. Then, we should attach a chart to our exchange account.
Does Zenbot offer a demo account?
No, it doesn’t. Anyway, there should be paper testing.
Profitability of Zenbot
The presentation includes a file with a screenshot of testing BTCUSDT on the data from February to May (most likely 2021). The devs set an initial deposit at $1000. It has turned into $2964.50 for 90 days. The ROI was 195%. Anyway, the chart doesn’t show smooth and predictable growth.
Payments, deposits, and withdrawals
The robot can be used completely for free. So, no payment is needed. Also, we should deposit something on it to start working.
Exchanges supported
Working is allowed on Binance, Bitfinex, Bitstamp, Bittrex, CEX.IO, GDAX, Gemini, HitBTC, Kraken, Poloniex, and TheRockTrading.
What about customer support?
The developers provide us with no customer support because the system is free. Also, we can ask questions to the community on Reddit.

Zenbot is a completely free solution. So, no pricing is here.
What are security measures?
The system works on the market using API keys to trade from our behalf. This doesn’t protect us from losing orders.

Yes, it is. We can use it if authorigites don’t prohibit crypto assets and crypto trading.
Ease of use
The system isn’t welcome for beginners because it requires us to have proper coding or developing skills.

We don’t know because it requires us to have proper skills and we haven’t seen trading results. So, it’s simply not clear if the system is profitable.
What are the risks of using Zenbot?
The risks lie in the field that we don’t know if the robot is profitable and can handle various market conditions.
The Review
Review verdict: free system with no trading results
Zenbot is a system that was designed as an open-source solution for everyone to be profitable on the crypto market. The presentation doesn’t include a proper level of explanations about how the system works and, most important, what profitability we should rely on. Most likely, to manage it well, we should have relevant trading and coding experience.
