I know someone who has made money with a simple ETH trading bot. Apparently it can be done.

Does the bot try to maximize $ value or total ETH? It could be a terrible bot and he could still be up $ wise purely because the value of ETH went up.

It could be luck though?

Imagine a 1000 sided dice. Lose $2000 if you roll a 1. Otherwise make $1.

Roll it 10 times. Looks like your making money!

You make it sound so simple! I want one of those dice bots.
