Being built in the open — results posted every month

Got Coinbase? Let's automate it. Carefully.

Carefultrade watches the market day and night and trades in your own Coinbase account. Your money never leaves it. You decide the limits, and the software cannot go past them.

Works with Coinbaseother exchanges are coming

Everyone starts in practice mode, with pretend money. Nothing real happens until you say so.

Your money stays put

It never leaves your own Coinbase account.

We can't withdraw

The key you give us can trade, but never cash out.

You set the limits

Caps per trade, per day, and per coin.

One stop button

Press it and everything halts at once.

How it works

Four steps, and you stay in charge

1

Connect your Coinbase

Link your Coinbase account with a key that can trade but can't cash out. Your money stays exactly where it is.

2

Set your limits

Choose the most a single trade can be, the most it can spend in a day, and when to cut a loss. The software obeys these.

3

Practice first

Watch it trade with pretend money for as long as you like. Real trading is a separate switch you turn on yourself.

4

Approve, or let it run

Tap to approve each trade, or let it work on its own. Either way, the stop button is always one press away.

Safety

Built to protect first, trade second

Most trading bots are built to trade as much as possible. This one is built to stay inside your limits, even when the strategy wants more.

A separate safety check

Before any trade goes out, a second part of the software checks it against your rules and blocks it if it doesn't fit.

Spending caps

No single trade and no single day can spend more than the amounts you chose.

Automatic stop-loss

Everything you hold gets a protective stop that follows the price up and sells if it falls too far.

The stop button

One press halts every trade, everywhere, right away.

Nothing happens without you

Out of the box, every trade waits for your approval. Letting it run on its own is a choice you make deliberately.

Practice mode always available

Try any setting with pretend money before you use it with real money.

Try it right here

Move the limits. See what they do.

These are the same controls you'd set on your own account. Nothing is connected — drag them and watch what the software would and wouldn't be allowed to do.

What your numbers mean

It finds a dip and wants to spend $150 on Bitcoin — goes through, inside your $250 cap.

It really likes a coin and wants $500 blocked. No single trade may pass $250, however good it looks.

Worst case for one position: a $250 buy that falls 12% is sold automatically — about $30 lost, not the whole amount.

And on the worst day imaginable, buying stops once $1,000 has been spent — no matter what the market does.

These become real, enforced rules the moment you create an account. Get early access →

Practice mode

Rehearse with pretend money, on your real settings

Set your limits, pick your coins, and watch it trade for as long as you like — with nothing at stake. Free forever, not a trial.

The same engine, not a toy

Live Coinbase prices, your real limits, your real watchlist. The only pretend part is the money — every decision is the one it would really make.

Watch it say no

The refusals teach you more than the wins: a buy blocked by your cap, a day stopped by the loss brake. You learn its manners before it touches a cent.

Real money is one switch away

It sits on its own page, and nothing ever flips it for you. Most people flip it once watching the practice account has become boring — which is the point.

Proof, not promises

We run it on our own money

Carefultrade isn't a slideshow. It trades a real account with a fixed amount of money in it, and every month we publish what happened — good months and bad ones, with nothing hidden.
