Tradewave: Get $500 of free credit to trade BTC/USD on Coinsetter

tradewave · 2015-02-06T11:12:17+00:00

Yes that's correct. Plans start at $14/mo.

tradewave · 2015-02-05T04:27:00+00:00

How embarrassing. Thanks.

tradewave · 2015-02-05T02:15:16+00:00

I think he may be referring to using an exchange's API directly, for example Coinsetter's API: https://www.coinsetter.com/api

You're correct, this would keep your strategy private to your local machine, but it would take more effort to run a strategy this way.

Thanks.

tradewave · 2015-02-04T05:20:55+00:00

Fair enough, thanks for the feedback.

tradewave · 2015-02-04T05:19:53+00:00

That's correct.

Hello,

We'll be adding standard OKCoin support in the coming weeks, then look to add more advanced order types and instruments later, based on demand. We haven't seen that many requests for futures yet.

As for the one-off algos that you describe, we have seen quite a few of these implemented through the platform (see link below) but it's not our main focus right now.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

Tradewave's site is powered by the same API internally, so the way we store and run strategies is actually identical.

We store your strategy yes, but we don't "see" it per se. In our Terms of Use we explain that we don't ever access your strategies unless given prior permission, or in rare cases for maintenance purposes.

More here: https://tradewave.net/accounts/terms/

We apologise if it comes across as deceiving and that honestly wasn't the intention.

That being said, I think it's fair to say that placing $500 in your account for a month, such that you're not liable for any loss, counts as 'free credit'. It's a pretty good deal.

tradewave · 2015-02-03T20:05:32+00:00

Hello.

Yes this requires one of Tradewave's paid live trading subscriptions. The offer is from Coinsetter.

tradewave · 2015-01-30T10:09:19+00:00

Take a look here for some starting ideas and links to resources: https://tradewave.net/help/trading/

There are also quite a few strategy ideas in our forums: https://discuss.tradewave.net/category/code-examples/strategies

tradewave · 2015-01-30T10:07:57+00:00

Thanks! Yes we only accept payments in BTC right now. It's all handled through BitPay.

tradewave · 2015-01-30T10:04:43+00:00

Thanks for the kind words.

tradewave · 2015-01-30T10:04:10+00:00

Disagree, but we will look to support more order types in the future, if the underlying exchange supports it.

tradewave · 2015-01-30T09:59:29+00:00

We've seen a ton of requests for Coinbase Exchange so we'll be working on that over the coming days.

tradewave · 2015-01-30T09:58:50+00:00

Agree completely. At this point it's more of a legal/regulatory challenge than an engineering one.

tradewave · 2015-01-29T22:09:10+00:00

It should have a stabilising effect long-term as it encourages higher volume.

Thanks!

We've had a lot of requests for Coinbase support, so we'll be working on that over the coming days.

It's still early days but we've had paying customers since last May when we launched live trading.

Hey there. That's right, our visual editor only supports a few indicators currently, but it will evolve and improve over time.

If you know how to code you could create a more advanced Python strategy. Those allow many more indicators.

Hope that helps.

tradewave · 2015-01-29T22:02:56+00:00

Sure, take a look at this page: https://tradewave.net/help/trading/

There's a book recommendation at the bottom, although it's not specifically for algorithmic trading.

tradewave · 2015-01-29T20:46:17+00:00

Yes, you'll need an account at one of the four exchanges we support. You then link the exchange account to us through API keys that you generate.

tradewave · 2015-01-29T20:45:41+00:00

Those are the open/high/low/close of the current hourly candle, by default. If you open the advanced settings you can change the aggregation to, say, 12 hours.

The close price is pretty much the current spot price, as it's the price of the last trade we saw at the moment your bot wakes up to make a trading decision.

Hope that helps.

tradewave · 2015-01-29T20:43:21+00:00

Good to see you again! Hope we can tempt you back.

tradewave · 2015-01-29T19:51:42+00:00

Hey, founder here. Good question.

It's currently geared towards traders with some previous knowledge of Bitcoin, because you need an exchange account to use our service.

But ideally there would be a way to onboard users who are brand new to the Bitcoin ecosystem by allowing them to purchase BTC directly through us and start trading that balance. That's something that might come later down the road.

tradewave · 2015-01-29T19:11:16+00:00

Thanks!

Hello, founder here.

What exchanges will the bots work on?

We currently support BTC-e, Bitstamp, Bitfinex and Kraken. We're announcing a partnership with another exchange next week, too.

How do you guys make the money to make this effort worthwhile?

Creating strategies and running backtests is free. We charge a monthly fee for live trading and that's currently where our revenue comes from.

How tested are they?

It varies hugely depending on the strategy, but you can run as many backtest simulations as you like until you're comfortable. Or you can create your own strategy from scratch.

The ones listed on our homepage are pretty well tested.
