Crypto delisting: what happens to your bot when it happens

An exchange announces it's delisting a coin, and anyone running an automated bot on it freezes: what happens to the open position? Most bots simply don't handle this case — Theta monitors it across all 3 supported exchanges (Binance, Coinbase and Bybit) and follows a clear rule, not a last-minute patch.

This is the kind of detail that only shows up when someone thought through the bad scenario before it happened — and it's easy to verify, because we describe exactly what the bot does, step by step.

Why trust it

Trade-only key, no withdrawals

The API key reads and trades — but can't withdraw. Your funds never leave your exchange account.

Never sells at a loss

No stop-loss, by design: if price drops, the bot holds and reopens later. You only realize a gain.

Free test mode

Simulate with a virtual balance, no time limit, before risking a single real cent.

Grows on its own, public plan

Half of each profit reinvests, half goes to a vault; the pilot climbs from $100 to $10,000 following a published plan. A rule, not a promise.

What the bot does as soon as delisting is announced

When a coin is being delisted on one of the 3 exchanges, Theta immediately stops buying and reinforcing that coin — and alerts you. No new order goes into a coin that's on its way out.

The exit follows the same rule as always

The existing position exits under the same rule as every other house product: it sells only in profit or, at minimum, at cost — never at a loss. Once the position hits zero (the coin fully sold), it drops off the bot on its own, with no action needed from you.

What if the position is in the red when delisting happens?

Here's the honest scenario: if the position is below cost, or the pair is already dead (can't be traded on the exchange anymore), the bot does NOT sell — because that would mean force-realizing a loss, against the house's core principle. Instead, it alerts you and leaves the decision in your hands.

Nothing is force-sold: since Theta is non-custodial, your coins stay in your exchange account the whole time — the final call on a position stuck in a delisted coin is yours, not the bot's.

You can exit whenever you want, per coin

If you'd rather not wait, the "Exit at target (one coin)" button lets you trigger the exit for that specific coin at any time — without touching the other coins in the same bot.

Frequently asked questions

Does Theta automatically sell a coin about to be delisted?

Only if the position is in profit or at cost. If it's in the red, the bot won't force-sell — it alerts you and the decision is yours.

Do my coins get stuck if the exchange delists them?

Not stuck in the sense of lost — since Theta is non-custodial, they stay in your exchange account. The bot just stops trading that pair; you can manage the position directly on the exchange whenever you want.

How does Theta know a coin is about to be delisted?

Monitoring tracks announcements from the 3 supported exchanges (Binance, Coinbase and Bybit) and stops buying/reinforcing as soon as it identifies a coin heading out.

Can I force the exit of a coin before delisting happens?

Yes, anytime — the "Exit at target (one coin)" button triggers the exit for that specific coin, following the same never-sell-at-a-loss rule.
