Risks & How to Mitigate Them

• Over-automation: Keep Liberty in "suggest" mode until you trust the data.
• Latency: Re-run the [Crypto Bot Slippage Audit](/blog/crypto-bot-slippage-audit-playbook-2026) after enabling.
• Chasing new pairs: Stick to your diversification map: [How to Diversify Crypto Bots 2026](/blog/how-to-diversify-crypto-bots-spot-grid-futures-2026).

FAQ

Does Liberty work on Starter plans?

Yes, but prompt quotas are smaller and futures templates are locked until Advanced.

Can Liberty replace manual optimization?

No. Treat it as a co-pilot that surfaces trends faster, not a full hands-off bot.

Is my data used for training?

3Commas says Liberty uses aggregated, anonymized metrics. Disable sharing in Settings -> Privacy if needed.
