Fluxy vs 3Commas
Fluxy vs 3Commas: quant rigor vs bot breadth
3Commas is one of the most widely used bot platforms in crypto, and if you want a large menu of preset bot types across many exchanges, it is a reasonable default. Fluxy Fund plays a different game: fewer venues, real code, research-grade backtesting, and the accounting to run money — yours or your clients' — like a fund.
Credit where due
Where 3Commas shines
Exchange breadth
Connects to more exchanges than we do, with a mature marketplace of preset bots (grid, DCA, signal bots) that need no code at all.
Copy & marketplace ecosystem
A large community of shared bots and signals — useful if you want to follow others rather than build.
Terminal features
A well-developed smart-trading terminal (trailing take-profits, concurrent positions) across venues, as of writing.
Side by side
Where the two part ways
| Fluxy Fund | 3Commas | |
|---|---|---|
| Custody | Non-custodial — trade-only keys, withdrawals disabled at the venue | Non-custodial — API-key based |
| Strategy model | Real Python against a typed engine API, plus an AI editor grounded in your data | Preset bot types configured by parameters |
| Backtesting | Point-in-time joins, settlement-clock funding, delisting realism, IS/OOS splits | Preset-bot backtests / paper trading, per bot type |
| Portfolio construction | Multi-strategy book, vol targeting, portfolio mandates | Per-bot; portfolio view across bots |
| Investor accounting | Unitized NAV, high-water-mark fees, per-investor statements | Not a fund-accounting product |
| Managed option | Managed accounts running the fund’s own live book | Copy-trading style following |

The honest verdict
Which one is for you?
Choose 3Commas if you want the widest menu of no-code bots across the most exchanges. Choose Fluxy if you want to research strategies like a quant desk, run them on your own accounts with fund-grade risk controls — or run outside money with real NAV accounting behind it.
