When to Use Each

• Stay on Binance copy if you want zero configuration, accept higher DD, and only trade Binance.
• Switch to 3Commas if you demand multi-exchange coverage, want to veto bad signals, or plan to add automation layers like range rebuilds ([Grid Range Updates Guide](/blog/3commas-grid-bot-range-updates-2026)).
