Bitcoin 9to5

Bitcoin 9to5 is a BTC perpetual futures trading bot for Nado .

Premise: BTC tends to drop during US market hours and rise overnight. The bot exploits this by shorting 9-to-5 and going long the rest of the time.

Zones at a glance

Zone	When (ET)	Direction
Short	9:29 AM – 4:01 PM weekdays	Short
Long	Overnight, weekends, and holidays	Long

At each zone change, the bot flips — closing any existing position and opening a new one in the zone’s direction. Times can auto-adjust via adaptive learning.

Profit-taking: When price moves 1% in your favor, the bot closes for profit (~10% gain at 10x leverage). Longs can enter a trailing TP zone instead of closing immediately — see Profit Taking.

This bot requires an Ethereum PRIVATE_KEY and trades live on Nado with leverage. Keep the key out of version control, restrict who can access the host, and understand that perpetual futures can lose more than collateral under adverse moves. Nothing here is financial advice.
