## What it is
Zenbot is a command-line cryptocurrency trading bot built with Node.js and MongoDB that automates technical-analysis-based trading across many major exchanges. It includes a backtesting simulator, paper trading mode, and a plugin architecture for adding exchanges and strategies.

## Use cases
- automate crypto trading on binance or kraken
- backtest trading strategies against historical data
- paper trade crypto strategies on live markets
- build custom trading strategies with a plugin architecture
- run a command-line trading bot with stop-loss and trailing stops

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, scriptable crypto trading bot with exchange plugins
- you need to backtest or paper-trade technical-analysis strategies before risking funds

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained project - the README warns it is no longer maintained
- you expect guaranteed profits - the authors explicitly warn it may underperform buy-and-hold
- you want a GUI or managed cloud trading service
