If you are a newcomer, the world of crypto trading can feel intimidating. And once you start exploring it, you might find it hard to keep up with all the news and struggle to make investment decisions. Wherever you are in your crypto journey, HAL (formerly Napbots) is here to help.
Why Is It Difficult to Efficiently Trade Crypto?
Crypto trading is the practice of selling and buying cryptocurrencies. A cryptocurrency is a digital currency that is protected by cryptography. Unlike fiat currencies (like the euro or the dollar), they are not emitted by states, but usually by decentralized networks running on blockchain technologies. Bitcoin and Ethereum are arguably the most well-established cryptos – while thousands of other cryptos (often referred to as altcoins) are traded everyday.
Buying or selling any asset, whether it is a trending altcoin or a used pair of jeans, means making a choice. Is this the right time to buy (or sell)? Is the price likely to rise (or fall)? And that’s where the comparison with other types of asset stops: the crypto market is very volatile and speculative, with prices making quick jumps and drops, sometimes within minutes.
This means you need to be tuned in to the markets constantly, ready to trade when needed. However, your decisions shouldn’t be driven by emotions like fear (“the price is going to keep falling, I need to sell now to curb my losses!”) or enthusiasm (“this asset can only go up, I need to buy as much as I can now to make a crazy profit!”). In order to make informed decisions, you need to keep on top of news (major platform updates, coin releases…), not to forget macroeconomic factors that also shape the digital asset market. And of course, trading is technical – there is a whole world of indicators to consider and hundreds of thousands of traders constantly competing.
Does this sound complex and time-consuming? This is where HAL steps in.

HAL allows you to scan through an extensive list of advanced automated strategies in minutes, allocate funds and simply monitor the results.
Anyone can open an account on an exchange and buy a few dollars worth of crypto. But not everyone is an expert. HAL strategies are designed by professional quant traders and crypto analysts.
