“Runbot: The Game-Changer in Automation—Accessible, Flexible, and Powerful for All” - Exclusive Interview with Alexandre

Automation just got a turbo boost. Runbot isn’t just another tool—it’s a revolution, slicing through complexity like a hot knife through butter. Alexandre, the brains behind the bot, spills the beans on why this isn’t your grandma’s automation software.

### The Democratization of Automation

Forget six-figure enterprise solutions. Runbot cuts through the noise, offering power without the premium price tag. Alexandre’s vision? Put automation in the hands of the masses—no PhD required.

### Flexibility Meets Firepower

Most tools force you to adapt. Runbot adapts to you. Custom workflows? Check. Scalability? Double-check. It’s like Legos for productivity—snap together what you need, ditch the rest.

### A Jab at the Finance Bros

While Wall Street still runs on Excel macros from 1998, Runbot’s users are automating their way to early retirement. Somewhere, a hedge fund manager just felt a chill.

Bottom line: Runbot isn’t just changing the game—it’s rewriting the rules. And Alexandre? He’s the puppet master pulling the strings.

In Brief

• Runbot democratizes algorithmic trading with a no-code, AI-powered platform for building bots without programming skills.
• Users can backtest, optimize, and deploy strategies using webhooks across major CEXs and platforms like Tealstreet and OKX.
• $RBOT token powers premium features, with staking unlocking AI tools, rewards, and strategy monetization options.

What exactly is Runbot?

Runbot is an online platform where users can build, backtest, and automate trading strategies. And here’s the good part: you don’t need to be a programmer. With an easy-to-use editor and visual tools, you can create a bot by adjusting sliders, setting conditions, and letting Runbot handle the rest.

Once your strategy is ready, you can send alerts to supported platforms using webhooks. These alerts can trigger trades in real-time across services like Tealstreet, Mizar, WunderTrading, Alertatron or directly to exchanges like OKX, Bitget, Blofin, etc.

Runbot gives users plenty of value right out of the gate. You’ll have access to over 40 technical indicators, more than 100 strategy rules, and unlimited backtests for up to a year. You can also build as many bots as you like when using Runbot’s free partner platforms.

Those looking to tap into premium tools like longer historical backtesting or advanced features such as the Composer and Optimiser can do so by buying credits. You use them only when needed, giving you full control over how and when you access these extras.

And Runbot isn’t standing still. The team recently announced integration with Allora’s Model Coordination Network, which adds predictive pricing to their Signal Triggers. This makes bots smarter shifting them from reactive to proactive, especially for trading BTC and ETH options.

Meet Alexandre, the co-founder behind the project

The vision behind Runbot comes from Alexandre, a trader who transitioned into building trading tech after years of hands-on experience. After completing a master’s degree in Economics and Digital Strategies, he jumped into crypto trading in early 2018. A year later, he was already deep into algorithmic trading, he notably helped develop HxroBot, and has managed the operations of both HxroBot and Runbot.

Interview

What motivated you to create Runbot?

We started Runbot to solve a real problem: as professional traders, we wanted to automate our strategies without wasting time coding. When our non-technical friends wanted to do the same, we realized the opportunity was bigger to democratize ALGO trading. Runbot was born to make automation accessible, flexible, and powerful for everyone.

How do you support beginner users in building bots?

Runbot is designed with layered complexity. Beginners can start with pre-built strategy templates, visual builders, and step-by-step guides. They can launch their first bot without writing a single line of code. For more support, our Discord community, help docs, and built-in AI assistant guide users every step of the way.

What role does the community play in platform development?

A huge one. Many of our most valuable features come from user feedback. We run regular surveys, interviews, and beta programs to involve our users in shaping Runbot. The community is not just using the product, they’re co-building it with us.

How do you attract strategy creators to your ecosystem?

We offer creators the ability to monetize their bots directly via our. They can publish strategies as NFTs, and get passive income from it. Most importantly, we give them powerful tools, like backtesting, optimization and webhook integrations, to scale what they already do best.

Do you believe the future of trading is necessarily automated?

Absolutely. Human intuition will always have a role, but speed, consistency, and scalability belong to algorithms. The best traders will increasingly become, not just chart readers. So many traders are bragging about the power of their EMA, VWAPs etc, well,  Runbot is here to give them the infrastructure to make that leap and backtest their strategy.

How does the $RBOT token work in your ecosystem?

$RBOT is the Core utility token of the platform. It’s used for accessing advanced features (like AI optimization), reducing platform fees, unlocking higher staking tiers, and gaining access to premium strategy launches or early features.

What are the concrete benefits of staking $RBOT?

By staking $RBOT, users get:

• Daily free AI Agent optimization coupons
• Reduced platform fees
• Access to exclusive bot NFTs and rewards
• Higher visibility for strategy creators on the marketplace
• Premium trading indicators

It’s both a functional and yield-bearing component of the Runbot experience.

What is the AI Agent Optimizer, and what does it do?

It’s like having a Quant assistant built into Runbot. The AI Agent helps you optimize your strategy parameters, could be RSI periods, trigger thresholds, ATR exits, stop loss etc, based on your objectives (APR, drawdown, win rate). You tell it what you want, and it runs hundreds of backtests to find the best setups.

Why did you choose webhooks over traditional APIs?

Webhooks give usersacross any exchange or platform. Unlike rigid APIs, webhooks allow you to send orders to trading terminals, custom scripts, bots, or even Discord alerts. It’s more powerful, more customizable, and more future-proof.

Should CEXs or DEXs consider integrating Runbot as a white-label solution?

Absolutely. Runbot is made to be modular, Runbot offers exchanges a plug-and-play strategy engine and community trading layer. Instead of building everything from scratch, they can leverage our tech to activate their user base with algo trading, strategy sharing, and engagement tools.

What features are coming next on the platform?

A few highlights:

• Real-time market scanner to identify strategy triggers live
• On-chain trading integration (DEX execution)
• Parimutuel markets (binary options)
• Enhanced AI strategy builder Agent (natural language to bot logic)
• Gamification of the platform, including quests, ranks, tournaments and a lot of rewards.

We’re building Runbot to be the most complete algo trading no-code platform, AI-powered, and community-driven.
