Automation jobs
Name the work before naming the product.
Rule-based automation
Automate an explicit condition and action
Use no-code rules when the decision can be written as if-this- then-that logic with clear limits.
Bot operation
Keep a trading-bot structure running
Use bot operations when the work is configuring, launching and monitoring an ongoing strategy structure.
Exchange confirmation
Confirm the venue after the job is clear
The exchange holds balances and fills. Choose the automation product first, then confirm the venue and permissions.
Official partners
Three products. Three different jobs.
TradingView
Charting, watchlists, indicators and alerts
TradingView is the research interface. It helps read the market. It is not framed here as a direct exchange execution engine or bot manager.
Coinrule
No-code rule automation
Coinrule turns explicit conditions into automated actions on supported exchanges. It does not claim every exchange or every strategy is covered.
Bitsgap
Trading-bot operations
Bitsgap operates trading bots such as grid and DCA structures and helps monitor connected-exchange activity. Returns are not guaranteed.

Who should choose what
Match the daily work to the product.
Choose TradingView when
The bottleneck is reading charts, organizing watchlists, setting indicators and creating alerts before any automation starts.
Choose Coinrule when
The bottleneck is turning a written condition into a no-code rule with an explicit action and limits.
Choose Bitsgap when
The bottleneck is operating a trading bot structure and monitoring that activity across connected exchanges.
Compare methods next when
The question is bots versus rules as methods, or a named three-product comparison rather than a first product pick.
