I Gave $1,000 To a KuCoin Crypto Trading Bot For a Week

In this YouTube video, crypto‑focused creator Josiah Stewart (channel "Jubileus Gents") documents a week‑long experiment in which he deposits $1,000 into a KuCoin automated trading bot. He explains that he copied the exact parameters of a high‑earning bot he had previously highlighted, expecting similar results. The video walks through his initial optimism, early small gains, and the subsequent steep decline as the bot loses roughly 50% of the capital (about $500) over seven days. Stewart breaks down daily profit/loss figures, win‑rate (0%), and attributes the poor performance to market volatility, the bot’s lack of customization, and possibly the choice of trading pair. Throughout, he promotes his Patreon, urges viewers to like, subscribe, and comment, and solicits suggestions for other trading bots to test. He concludes that he will not use KuCoin bots again, but remains open to testing other automated strategies, positioning the experiment as a cautionary case study for his audience.

What is goodie, my people? We are back again with another gem listing. So I gotta be the most realest crypto finance investment YouTuber in the entire globe, the entire atmosphere, and the entire universe of investment YouTubers. I show you guys all of my W's and all of my L's, and this one right here, let's just say it is not a W at all. Oh, but do you know what is a W? My Patreon. You know why it's a W? Because we're actually up crazy on the past calls that I've put out the past couple weeks. You know what I'm saying? I put out a couple calls and we're up good on it. We're even on a coin super, super early that's just now starting to blow up. So if you want to be part of that community where I show you guys exactly what coins I'm buying, when I'm buying them, when I'm taking profit on coins, you want to know how many coins I'm holding, all the coins I'm holding, where you can buy the coins at, sign up for my Patreon. It's right there, patreon.com/jubileusgents. Also inside the description. And pin in the comments down below. But without further ado, let's get into this. All right, so boom, a week ago, literally a week ago, I made a video trying out KuCoin trading bots. Now I've seen a lot of mixed signals from KuCoin trading bots. I've seen some people's reviews say it works great, some people say it absolutely sucks, some people say they didn't make any profit, they kind of stayed neutral the entire time. Some people say they made a lot of money, and that's, that's really, that's really what kind of intrigued me to try this. So I thought I would throw $1,000 into a KuCoin trading bot, literally stealing the parameters off of another high, um, winning one, high-earning one on that day. If you did not watch that video, you can go back and watch that so you know exactly what I'm talking about. But I literally stole all the settings from that one. I changed absolutely nothing because if it worked for them, I I was thinking in my head, it has to work for me, you know, it has to at least do something for me. It obviously was not gonna flop and make me lose half my money, you know what I'm saying? But lo and behold, it didn't turn up, you know what I'm saying? The first day it was great, the first day it was cool, but the first couple minutes it was cool. I was up $5, $10, $20 at one point. It went red, then it went green again. I was like, okay, this is kind of good. I see it's working, it's doing its thing, it's buying, it's selling, it's making me money, it's losing me money, but it was all automated. I didn't have to do anything. So in my head, I already started predicting. As soon as I saw it go green $5 one time, green $20 one time, already in my head I'm thinking, okay, I'm gonna put $10,000 into this. This could be another source of some crazy good passive income. Thank God I did not do that because the results as the days went on dropped drastically. Now, when I say drastically, it's been a week and I haven't checked in the past 2 days, so I don't know what it's at exactly right now. It could be good. It could be up. We could have got saved, but the last time I checked it, it was literally around 3 days ago. 2 days ago, 3 days ago, somewhere around there, I was down 36%. That's $360 down on my $1,000 investment. Now I watched the days go by. Um, one point I was down 80, then 100, then 150, and I was just waiting for it to turn around. So, you know, I've watched inside some of these, um, review videos of the KuCoin bots that sometimes it takes some time to adjust. It takes some time. You don't automatically go in profit. You might be down on money, but then after a while it gets itself back up. And I was just waiting for that. I was like, the first day when I saw it super red, I was like, ah, that's just getting used to, you know, trading. It's probably his first day trading, the bot's first day out, you know what I'm saying? I was giving it the benefit of the doubt, and it just kept giving me reasons to keep the benefit of the doubt— not there. It gave me reasons to doubt. And like I said, it was down 36%, which is $360. Today we're gonna dive into it. We're gonna see exactly how much I'm up hopefully, or down most likely, after literally an exact week of automating a, uh, or using an automated crypto trading bot on kucoin.com. So without further ado, smash the like button, make sure you subscribe with post notifications on because I'm dropping consistent gems and y'all gonna want to be notified whenever I drop them. Because last time I dropped the gem about a specific coin, I'm not gonna say which coin, go back and find it, when When I dropped that gem about the coin, it literally went up 15% within the hour of me posting it. So that's all I gotta say. Hit the post notifications and let's hop right into this. All right, so here we are on the famous kucoin.com. And if we look here, we notice something, right? The top left corner, it says trade, which is usually where I go and I go to spot trading. But on top of trade, it has some, some, some letters that stick out as if they're trying to sell it. You know what I'm saying? Trading bot. Now we scroll down here, it says, earn profits without monitoring the market. It all sounds great, you know, I love passive income. If you watch any of my other videos, I'm really big on passive income. I love the fact that I can make money while taking a poop. I can make money while playing Xbox. I can make money while watching YouTube videos. I can make money while I'm shooting a YouTube video. You know what I'm saying? And I figured this would be another great source of just passive income, but it didn't turn out like that. We're gonna see exactly how much I'm up or down right now. We're just gonna come over here. Prayer emojis in the chat right now. Everybody comment some prayer emojis right now, please. If I'm down like more than 40%, I'm probably gonna cry myself to sleep. 3, 2, 1. Oh, it's not even here. Okay, okay, it's not even here. See, see what I had done, right? That was very anticlimactic for no reason at all. But, um, What I had done, if you come over here and you see all these different top bots right here, I basically just pressed the number 1 one that said it was paying that on average, or not on average, of today, um, it had done a 4,834% APR kind of day, um, meaning if it kept the same results it got today, which could have been like 20%, 30% profit, it at the end of a year, if it does that same exact percentage by the end of the year, it would be up 4,834%. So I'm confused as to why mine didn't work because I copied the same exact results as the other guy, but we're not going to talk about it. Let's see how much I'm actually up or down right now. Running 500— 550% decrease in one week. Oh man, you know, I— somebody commented this before. I appreciate all the comments. I actually love reading the comments. Hopefully I can reply back to enough comments. I try and read every comment. There's a lot of bots inside the comments, and I try and delete them as often as possible. But somebody commented and said, I'm glad you're out there testing this stuff out for us because we don't have money to blow. I don't want to blow money either, but I'm glad I can test this stuff out for you guys so you guys can know exactly if you want to get into something like this. I don't know if this video convinces you to do it or not. This is not financial advice. We're friends, you know, so I'm trying to put y'all on to what I'm on to and trying to take y'all off what the heck I'm on to too, like this. Um, as you see here, an investment that I initially put in was $1,000, and total profits minus $505. Let me stop this. Um, return 2 coins, convert into USD, the best market price. We'll just press that. I'm not exactly sure what that does, but I just need to stop this right now because as of right now This is doing absolutely nothing for me. Where is it at? Okay, so this— okay, okay, boom. This is a breakdown of everything that happened in the past 7 days. Um, so our win— our win rate is 0%. This bot's win rate was 0%. Now keep in mind, the markets did crash all of last week. We were down double digits We— it was very, very volatile. A bunch of things were just down, you know what I'm saying? So that could, that could be reasoning as to why I'm down literally 50%, but it could also be a bunch of different other factors considering the fact that I didn't change any of the settings. I didn't change nothing. I literally just pressed copy and paste and made that my bot. So if we actually— can I click on this? Okay, so the first day I was down $16. The second day I was up $128. That was great. I loved that, you know what I'm saying? That was absolutely amazing. I was ready to buy myself a house and put $100,000 into this crypto trading bot. Thank God I did not. The second day I had a $29 profit. I didn't even realize that, I'm not gonna lie to you guys. But then it dropped all the way down here and I had a negative profit of almost $200 in one day. Dropping even further down, the profit was now negative $269. Dropping even further down the next day, profit negative $300. And last day of today, negative $332 in the past 7 days. Daily profit, um, yeah, so this kind of breaks it down. We had— we actually had one green day. First day was a red day. Second day we were green, up $145. Then we lost $100 worth of that. Then down $200, then down $72, $48, and $14. So this test is— was an absolute fail. I'm not going to lie to you guys, I'm down $500. Of course it does suck, but we will make it back, you know what I'm saying? Actually, I'm going to try and make it back fairly quickly, actually, now that I know I just threw away $500. To test something out for you guys. You guys have to smash the like button now. I'm telling you that right now. Just— I spent $500 to ask you to smash the like button. Just think about it. It takes 2 seconds to just smash the like button and make sure you're subscribed. But, um, I actually do want to try doing another trading bot. Let me know which trading bot I should try out. There are a bunch of different trading bots that are on the market that are not KuCoin trading bots. Uh, if you guys have any suggestions, drop in the comments down below. If you'd be interested in a video like that, I definitely can do that. Um, but as of right now, I'm kind of gonna chill on the trading bots. You guys can take from this as you want. If you still want to decide to put money into a trading bot, you can. If you— if you've actually— actually, big, big body question right now, you know what I'm saying? Have you ever used a KuCoin trading bot and it's worked for you? Let me know in the comments down below. I'm very curious. But that's really the end of the video. Um, I really have nothing else to say, you know what I'm saying? I definitely will not be using the KuCoin trading bot again. I can tell that right now. I honestly— it probably works if I change the settings or if I kind of personalize it or if I chose a different pair, because I did choose literally one of the highest, um, volatility— but why can I not say that word? Price movement-ness enough coins. You know what I'm trying to say. But, um, that could have been another factor into why I did lose a lot of money. Another factor could be because the markets were down all last week. Um, so a lot of these things could have been factors, but the KuCoin bots have just given me a nasty taste in my mouth, so I probably will not be touching it again. Let me know in the comments down below anything else you guys want me to test out for you guys, you know, throw money into, see if it works. I'd be happy to test it out. Um, yeah, that's about it. Hope you guys enjoyed the video. If you did, make sure you smash the like button.
