When Trading Bots Stop Operating

Bots halt under conditions you configure, such as:
- Spot Grid Bot: Stops orders if price falls below the lower price range.
- DCA Bot: Ceases orders upon reaching the maximum safety order limit.
- Stop-Loss/Profit Targets: Automatically triggers bot termination.
2. Unpredictable Circumstances
Bots may stop due to OKX’s Risk Management Stop (RMS) protocols, like:
- Cryptocurrency delisting or suspension.
3. Manual Intervention
You can manually stop bots anytime via the platform’s Stop function.
