Ask HN: How Do You Automate Dip Buying During Crypto Flash Crashes
1•denis4inet•3h ago
I hold stablecoins across DeFi protocols (e.g., Morpho, Pendle, Jupiter, Storm, Hyperliquid HLP, Avantis vAAM, Save on Solana) and want to buy dips (e.g., ASTER, PUMP, JUP, HYPE, SOL, ETH, TON) during flash crashes like the one on Oct 10, 2025. The ideal solution would auto-withdraw liquidity from LPs, set limit buy orders based on current prices, and manage funds securely with my target investment amounts.
Existing bots (Bitsgap, Coinrule, 3Commas) handle parts of this but lack full DeFi LP integration. Are there tools or scripts you use to automate this? Do you run custom bots on a VPS, or is there a service I’ve missed? How do you handle gas fees, oracle delays, and security risks during chaos? Curious to hear your setups!

Before you look at technical solutions, how do you define a "dip" vs a continuous collapse of the price?
Or do you just assume all coins will eventually go up and just play the very long game?
