The short version

What is Pionex?

Pionex is a crypto exchange with trading bots built in, such as grid and DCA bots, that trade for you inside your Pionex account. There is no fee for using the bots, only the normal trading fees.

The bot list covers spot and futures: Grid Trading, Infinity Grid, Reverse Grid, DCA (Martingale), Rebalancing, Smart Trade, TWAP, Signal Bot, Futures Grid and more. You can also copy bots shared by lead traders. Spot trades cost 0.05% for makers and takers. Pionex launched in 2019. Its terms bar residents of the United States, mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, the UK, Canada and several other countries. Pionex has a separate US arm, Pionex.US.

Bottom line: Pionex suits people who want ready-made bots without paying for a bot platform, as long as they live where it operates. Bots do not guarantee profit. Pionex itself says a grid bot can lose money if the price falls below your range.
