In Superalgos, a portfolio bot is a computer program designed to leverage the Superalgos infrastructure to provide smart portfolio features to users building, testing, and deploying portfolio systems. As such, a portfolio bot does not feature portfolio logic in and of itself. Instead, it executes the logic defined in portfolio systems.

Put in other words, when Superalgos users define portfolio systems and the portfolio strategies within, they are not building a portfolio bot. Instead, they are defining a set of instructions that a portfolio bot will then interpret and execute.

Portfolio bots have access to every piece of infrastructure built in Superalgos. One of the noteworthy sections of the infrastructure relevant to portfolio bots are portfolio mines themselves. Portfolio bots may be quite complex pieces of software. To name two of the most prominent characteristics: the bot needs to consider multiple dimensions of information and needs to be highly reliable, as its activity entails monetary transactions.

Portfolio mines make building portfolio bots a more accessible feat, providing a framework to produce compartmentalized definitions for the bots'processes and products, just like data mines do for sensors and indicators.
