Post is by: Hamesloth and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1swdnc8/for_bots_historical_data_matters_more_than_people/ I’ve been experimenting with a small crypto trading bot and one thing I underestimated was how important good data is. Initially tried scraping + a couple free APIs… didn’t go well. Switched to CoinMarketCap API and it’s been way more reliable so far. Main things I’m using: real-time price quotes historical data for strategy testing exchange + market pair data Data updates are pretty frequent (around every minute), which is decent for most strategies. Also nice that it aggregates data from a ton of exchanges, so you’re not relying on a single source. Still figuring out: best way to structure backtesting whether to combine it with another API for redundancy What are you guys using for trading bots? Single API or multiple? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Not sure what you mean by that. This was done one a publicly available quantum computer. Anyone can replicate the results. Are you insinuating that IBM doesn’t actually have a quantum computer and is just fabricating the results for all the API calls? That would be extremely stupid for such a large company and it would be really really hard to get away with.

Charming_Chipmunk69

Yeah, CoinMarketCap API is a solid starting point, especially for dashboards. Just keep in mind it’s more aggregator-level data, not super low-latency if you ever go deeper into trading stuff.

oracle lag arbitrage is basically a race to the bottom but the bottom never quite hits zero. theres always some delay somewhere in the chain, especially when youre dealing with multiple data sources that need to reconcile. i've been running similar automation and ended up using Qoest API for the webhook side since their blockchain pings are basically instant compared to polling endpoints. saves a lot of headache on timing. polymarket probably wont fix this unless it starts costing them directly, so the window likely stays open in some form

The whole thing is a nothing burger and always would be because they were constrained by publicly accessible quantum hardware and there would be zero benefit for any serious labs or state actors to participate (who have far more significant capabilities). Anyone seeking to break encryption isn't going to be using a publicly accessible quantum hardware API or using a sim. The leading labs and hundreds of billions going into this sector/race globally tells me it's likely that you won't hear about it until it's too late, not in a catastrophic way but any easy and safe wallets will have already all "moved" or "awoken" by the time we are made aware that a adversary or lab has the ability to run shors or even a new algorithm that might make it even more trivial and require much less hardware (more likely). I think the biggest concern would be China as they are extremely capable technologically and driven to decrypt the vast amount of intercepted global data from tapping undersea cables and such for decades, they will not be using public quantum hardware APIs for their efforts. No it will be worked on with their own hardware far away from public and foreign intelligence eyes, likely with a level of importance and secrecy close to the Manhattan project in the sense that it has the potebtial to reshape global power. Cryptocurrencies would be an easy target to siphon hundreds of billions to further development and provide demonstrable results. It is an easy honey to take it you have the ability to, so long as you don't alert the bees. The USA will also be doing the same, with any breakthroughs occuring nowhere near the public sector, likely deemed classified under national security. This is of course hypothetical, but if you understand the importance and the runners in this race it should be apparent that we only see the tip of the 'berg

Thank you for the update, true. The main difference is that we are a fully registered and regulated company. You can visit our website to confirm it [https://mrcglobalpay.com](https://mrcglobalpay.com) We are basically using the same backend and API we use for our online widget to our telegram bot and also for the website chat bot ythat you also can use to swap.

This is using "publicly accessible quantum hardware", so whatever they can access via API or whatever, so nothing that would be capable of doing anything impressive. A rogue individual using APIs is really not a threat

Post is by: Environmental_Bat399 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1su7beh/what_tools_do_systematic_crypto_traders_actually/ I've been building trading bots for a while and wanted to share what my current stack looks like — curious what others are using. **Price data**: Binance API (free, fast, reliable). Hard to beat for real-time candles and order book. **On-chain**: Honestly skipping the expensive stuff (Glassnode $800+/mo, Nansen $150/mo). For most systematic strategies, on-chain data adds noise more than signal unless you're doing whale-tracking specifically. **Sentiment**: Fear & Greed index + funding rates. These two alone capture most of the crowd positioning signal. **Regime classification**: This is the one I think most people are missing. Knowing whether you're in a bull, bear, or chop market *before* your strategy runs changes everything. An EMA crossover that prints in a trend gets destroyed in a range. I built an API for this — [Regime](https://getregime.com) — that runs 10 signals (SMA cross, funding, F&G, dominance, stablecoin flows, volume, volatility, liquidations, DXY) and outputs bull/bear/chop with a confidence score. Updated every 5 minutes. Try it yourself: curl -s https://getregime.com/api/v1/market/regime | jq Free tier gives you BTC + ETH with 500 calls/day. Pro is $49/mo for all 20 assets + real-time + signal breakdowns. **Execution**: Custom bots on Node.js. I've also built a [Freqtrade integration](https://getregime.com/freqtrade) for anyone using that. What does your stack look like? Especially curious about what people use for regime/market-state classification — most solutions I've seen are either too simple (just RSI) or too expensive (Glassnode + custom analytics). *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Leaning toward doing this. Would set it up as a read-only data API so contributors can build against real data without needing database access. If you'd be interested in contributing, drop a comment — gauging interest before I set it up.

Additional-Channel21

Yeah, that’s a good point. If everything is imported cleanly through one system or API, average cost basis is much easier to keep track of. I think the bigger gap is that a lot of people still approach long-term positions pretty loosely, so they don’t always realize how fast position context gets messy.

OpticallyMosache

I use Bitcoin.Tax and enter every transaction. If I were only using a CEX, I could just use their linked API to import all my buys. The software will tell you the average cost basis of the BTC in your bag.

Patient-Bumblebee

> The fix would be: run each model 3–5 times, take the median, store that. I haven't done it yet because it multiplies API costs, but it's on the roadmap. In the meantime the prediction history chart is most useful for spotting systematic trends rather than individual data points. Maybe you can use Everstrike. Its an LLM trading platform which has a free tier and supports many different models. IIRC you can run up to 20 prompts for free there. Prompts auto execute on a fixed interval.

ST-Fish

well even if you choose to not do multiple prompts per day, you should do some testing to know what is the inherent amount of varience you get with each model. Otherwise you won't be able to properly interpret the data on the history chart, as you don't know what % of the results are due to variance. Obviously ideally it would do multiple runs every day, but I understand your argument with regards to API costs. Doing it one time to note down the expected variance wouldn't cost you much though, and it would give you a lot of insights over how to interpret the more limited data that the budget allows. You could even do it regularily but on a longer schedule, like monthly or quarterly. The period would probably depend on the amount of change in variance you observe over time.

OkFigure5512

Yes, it's one prompt per model per day — and you're right that LLMs aren't deterministic, so there's inherent variance baked in. I don't currently run multiple prompts and average them, though that would genuinely reduce noise. On temperature: all models are called at their default settings or as close to 0 as the API allows. Lower temperature makes outputs more deterministic but also more repetitive over time. The tradeoff I made was: keep it consistent across models rather than optimising each one, so comparisons are apples-to-apples. The Perplexity $1.8B spike is a great example of what you're pointing at. That almost certainly wasn't Perplexity's "considered view" — it's a sampling artifact, a bad draw. The changes page shows it corrected immediately the next day. Whether that counts as the model updating its view or just noise from a single draw is genuinely hard to separate with one sample per day. The fix would be: run each model 3–5 times, take the median, store that. I haven't done it yet because it multiplies API costs, but it's on the roadmap. In the meantime the prediction history chart is most useful for spotting systematic trends rather than individual data points.

OkFigure5512

This is the most technically accurate concern here. Models do get updated, fine-tuned, or changed by their providers — and a post-update model isn't the same model that made the original prediction. I log the model version where the API exposes it, but providers don't always announce changes. It's a real limitation.

OkFigure5512

Copilot was tested but Microsoft's API doesn't expose it with a stable, queryable endpoint the same way OpenAI/Anthropic/Google do — it's primarily a consumer product. The 10 models chosen all have proper developer APIs that can be called programmatically every day without hitting paywalls or UI restrictions. If that changes I'd add it.

Been DCAing into BTC for over a year now and went through the same frustration with manual buys. A few things I learned: Exchange built-in DCA (like Kraken's recurring buy) is the easiest option but usually comes with higher spreads — you're paying a hidden premium on every buy even if the "fee" looks low. Dedicated DCA tools that connect via API to your exchange give you more control. You keep your funds on whichever exchange has the best spot fees (OKX, Binance, etc.), and the tool just executes the buys for you. This way you get real spot market prices instead of the inflated "instant buy" prices. The key things to look for: API-only access (no withdrawal permissions — your funds stay on YOUR exchange) Spot market execution, not "instant buy" with markup Some kind of profit-taking logic — pure blind DCA works, but DCA with automatic profit locking compounds much faster I switched from manual weekly buys to an automated setup on OKX about 3 months ago and it's been night and day. \~2% monthly on total deposit with zero effort. The bot handles entries AND exits, which most exchange recurring buys don't do at all. The 25€/week approach is solid for accumulation. Just make sure wherever you automate it, you're not overpaying on spreads. That eats into your returns more than people realize.

Scaling M2M really comes down to API reliability and fee structures, which is why bot heavy traders are already leading the way. I've moved some of my automated volume from Binance to BYDFi since they've been solid since 2020 and handle sub account scaling much better. Worth checking out while their $1M anniversary event is live this month

RAZA_2666R

Relative performance markets are a huge gap in the industry since Polymarket and others are so single-asset focused. I've been running similar delta-neutral setups on BYDFi's perps lately since they've been around for 6 years and have a $1M anniversary pool active right now. I'll definitely check out your API docs to see how the liquidity compares.

Needacupoficedtea

same for me bro! my personal experience is that TradingView is probably the closest to what you're describing, like you can see all your alerts on the chart with current price, though it's visual rather than a tabular gap column. For the actual gap dashboard you want, I haven't found a native solution in any major app either. The quickest workaround is a Google Sheet pulling from CoinGecko's free API, one column for your target price, one live price formula, one gap % column. Takes about 20 minutes to set up and does exactly what you're describing. If someone's built a dedicated tool for this I'd also want to know, seems like an obvious gap in the ecosystem.

I’d ask about a project’s momentum and my agent would confidently tell me Bitcoin was still at $120k because it didn't have a live data on the market. I've been manually feeding it CSVs before to fix this (lol). I finally sat down and hooked it up to the MCP server via CoinGecko API. Now, my agent actually sees 24h volume, real-time market caps, and trending tokens on Solana and Base and Solana (what I needed). I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. If you’re building any kind of AI-driven portfolio tool or researcher, stop wasting time with static data like I did. This literally fixed my agent’s "blindness" in about 20 minutes of coding.

Thanks so much for the comment! Right now the liquidity is super thin (I'm still in the very experimentation pahse) as I'm the only maker. But anyone can become a market maker, you can test it and find the API docs here  [https://www.duel.market](https://www.duel.market/)

Thanks for your comment! Yeah, that's the idea for the traders. And as a result, the quote (the price of one asset or the other essentially) will be a live measure of the expected correlation of the two assets over the 5 minute time horizon. In case you want to take a look it's live on base [https://www.duel.market](https://www.duel.market) At the moment I'm running the only market maker so there may be opportunities both to be a maker (see API docs if interested) and to buy odds with value as a taker

Post is by: ksthd and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1sm873k/i_spent_february_benchmarking_solana_execution/ The meta on Solana has shifted. If you are still relying on Telegram bots to copy-trade KOLs, you are statistically guaranteed to be exit liquidity. I know, because I was one of you. In February, I decided to run a controlled experiment. I ran a standard TG bot alongside a new web-based terminal called SniperJet. My findings were undeniable. Check the attached image. That’s my actual February PNL calendar. Total Realized PNL: +$81,700 Best Streak: 21 days straight green. Winning days: 26/28. The Latency Problem: Most people don't realize the massive overhead of Telegram-based trading. Here is the chain: KOL sends message -> TG Server processes -> Bot API reads -> Bot processes -> RPC sends transaction. You’re looking at a 500ms to 1.5s+ delay in highly contested meme coin launches. By the time your buy order hits the chain, the chart is extended. The Solution: I switched 100% of my copy-trading to SniperJet.org. It’s a dedicated web app with sub-100ms execution. It hits the chain faster than the Raydium UI even loads. My entries were consistently 10-15% lower than the TG bot crowd on the same calls. How my PNL actually exploded: Stop trusting "Influencers": The "Leaderboard" feature isn't just a list. It tracks actual, verified on-chain history. I use their dashboard to copy only the top 1% of traders who have a proven 60%+ win rate over the last 30 days. No more "callers" who dump on you. Flash SOL Lending: This is the ultimate degen move. They have a built-in feature to borrow up to 10 SOL instantly. When I saw a high-conviction play but was out of liquid cash, I grabbed the loan, flipped the trade, and paid it back with profit. It’s real-time liquidity on tap. Non-Custodial Security: It’s read-only by default. My keys, my coins. I never felt comfortable giving full access to TG bots. https://sniperjet.org Happy to break down my specific KOL filtering strategy or my exit plan in the comments, but don’t DM me for alpha.

This matches exactly what we found when building AI trading tools. We spent months testing whether LLMs could make better live trading decisions. 24,000+ API calls across 10 prompt versions. The conclusion: simple rule-based strategies consistently outperformed every AI model we tested for live execution. The real value of AI in crypto turned out to be in the research and development pipeline, not the execution. AI can backtest hundreds of strategy variations at machine speed, optimize parameters across years of data, and detect patterns humans would miss. But when you put it in the hot seat making live trade-by-trade decisions, it underperforms the simpler system it was trying to improve. The test Zach Meltzer describes (remove the token, does anything change?) is a good one. We'd add another: remove the AI from live execution, does performance actually get worse? For most projects, the honest answer is no. The gap between "AI-powered narrative" and "AI actually doing useful work" is where most of the market lives right now. The projects that survive will be the ones where AI solves a real technical problem, not just a marketing one.

Fair points. You're right to be skeptical of random new GitHub accounts asking for access to your trading funds. Here's why this is (hopefully) less sus: 1. **Code is fully open source** - Every line is auditable. If there was malicious code, the community would catch it immediately. 2. **No remote connections or API collection** - The bot doesn't phone home, doesn't collect data, doesn't store anything off your machine. 3. **You control the keys** - Uses your own API keys/wallet on Hyperliquid. I have zero access to funds. 4. **Paper mode first** - Test with virtual money before using real capital. 5. **Security review welcome** - If someone wants to audit the code, I'm down. Happy to have security researchers look it over. The "free so it's fake" take doesn't hold water (Freqtrade is free and widely used), but the "be careful with money software from unknown accounts" take is 100% correct. Do your own due diligence.

Changes can also easily be tracked in SQL Databases. Here is the feature description for MS SQL: [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/tables/temporal-tables?view=sql-server-ver17](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/tables/temporal-tables?view=sql-server-ver17) With this you can lookup any changes that were made on the data you have on your server. Walmart is the only party that keeps this data. If they want to distribute it somehow, it can be done via API. Walmart is the only Party that could lie (without being hacked maybe). They have no incentive to lie to themselves. So traceability is basically perfect in this scenario. I dont know what you would get out of a blockchain that does not work in this much easier concept. If you really want to make sure that no one changes any data, you could save this SQL database on multiple locations and compare the hashes.

Dealer_Vast

for crypto datasets, skip Yahoo Finance and go straight to the source: Binance has a free REST API that gives you klines (candlestick data) at any interval — 1m, 5m, 1h, 4h, whatever you need. pair it with the python-binance library and you get clean OHLCV data for any timeframe. for MTF strategies specifically, I would fetch 1m candles and resample to higher timeframes yourself — way more control than relying on pre-aggregated data. I have used this approach for grid trading bots and the data quality is solid

justforgigs96

I'd like to walk through these with you one by one in more detail: Regarding "deduction" vs "credit" language - I've updated the sentence to align with this in the post so that this term is clear and unambiguous for anyone in the community reading. I think that's reasonable - although the notion of the rest being locked in carryover is underselling it (because we all will sell some of our VOO, Google, or BTC or whatever eventually at some point and trigger capital gains) so the economic value is there. Alternatively if we never sell lots with capital gains, and pass off to our heirs they get a step up in basis and the harvested loss is effectively free money. Next, you'd cited IRC Section 7701(o) - this is where there's quite a bit of nuance. It sounds like you're referring to the two-prong test (and questioning whether BTC TLH violates them). It's important to point out here that (as a result of Patel v Commissioner) the IRS would need to first prove "Why should ESD apply to a straightforward property sale?". And the answer is -> It shouldn't because this is a standard realization event in a system where Congress explicitly allowed it. So although the IRS has the authority to challenge transactions lacking substance, the combination of the Patel relevancy threshold and the objective financial reality of exchange fees and BTC's huge volatility makes a successful ESD challenge against a retail investor executing straightforward TLH highly unlikely under current law. Now to be clear - with former President Biden's "Build Back Better" bill and some others, this was raised up to close the loophole as you said. And if that day comes, this kind of software loses its core relevance/value proposition & I'll be looking to solve other problems in the BTC space. Lastly with regard to the security risk that you're citing this is worth addressing because it's a legitimate concern for any tool in this category. Firstly the user controls the entire private repo (not me or any outside party). They can audit every single line of code or have a trusted engineer of their choice audit every line of code. Their keys will never leave their own infrastructure. Next, the idea off having funds drained is architecturally infeasible. Reason being - on the self-hosted version where an API key is created, permissions are set at the time of creation (not possible retroactively) and if you select read only permissions, the exchange cannot execute any sell orders on your behalf via that API key, and certainly not withdraw funds or send to outside parties. If users select full execution mode, they select (deliberately very specific) permissions, which allow only for A) Read permissions, B) Sell & Rebuy permissions, C) We say very explicitly what NOT to select (e.g a withdrawal capability) to prevent any hypothetical security threat. Additionally some exchanges like Strike don't even allow selecting withdrawals as an option on your API keys creation. As for 'lead gen' - guilty as charged my friend. I built something and I think it's useful. That's the whole post.

Flash-Ranger

You're completely misrepresenting how the tax mechanics work here. A $30k loss doesn't give you a $9,600 credit, it's a deduction. Unless you happen to have exactly $30k in short-term capital gains sitting around to offset right now, your immediate utility drops to the $3,000 federal limit against ordinary income. In a 32% bracket, that's only $960 in actual tax savings for the year. The rest is just locked in carryover. There's also a massive legal blindspot. Setting up automated, instantaneous rebuying algorithms strictly to manufacture tax losses flags the Economic Substance Doctrine under IRC Section 7701(o). Transactions need a non-tax economic purpose. Enforcement in retail crypto might be low right now, but if audited, the IRS has the legal precedent to invalidate these exact types of automated trades. Not to mention recent legislative drafts have actively targeted closing this specific digital asset wash sale loophole anyway. But the biggest red flag is the security risk. Handing over exchange API keys or deploying unvetted code via GitHub Secrets to run automated trading just to optimize a $960 tax yield is an insane risk-to-reward ratio. The risk of getting your funds drained by malicious code or compromised APIs vastly outweighs the tax shield. This whole post just reads like a lead gen ad for your software.

Yeah exactly. The worst offender I have run into is how each exchange handles partial fills differently. Binance gives you a clean execution report per fill, Bybit batches them, and some smaller venues just silently update the order state without any fill event at all. You cannot write one handler for that. The other thing generic middleware misses is that error codes lie. Bybit returns the same error code for "insufficient margin" and "position already closed" depending on which endpoint you hit. Ive had to maintain per-exchange error maps that translate the actual meaning, and those break every time they update their API. Honestly the only pattern that has worked for me long term is thin adapters per exchange that normalize into a common internal format, with the error handling living inside each adapter. Anything that tries to be clever across exchanges just accumulates edge cases until it collapses.

I was hesitant about the API access thing but the read-only tier is great

CoinGecko's API is worth checking out too — imo better for most use cases. Free demo plan, 18,000+ coins (30M+ onchain tokens), and their on-chain DEX endpoints cover 260+ networks which CMC doesn't match. Historical data goes back 10+ years with auto-granularity. They also recently added WebSocket support for real-time streaming on paid plans. [https://docs.coingecko.com/](https://docs.coingecko.com/)

Thanks for your response. I am trying to copy trade my personal account trades to breakout prop firm however breakout doens't have API so i don't know how that would work?

The line between exchange and casino has been blurry for a while now. 100x leverage on a memecoin is arguably worse than a roulette table because at least roulette has known odds. What's interesting from a technical side is how this changes the API surface. Coinbase's prediction markets already added a bunch of new endpoints and event types that their existing trading SDK wasn't designed for. If Binance goes the same route, every bot framework and portfolio tracker that integrates with them needs to handle a new category of "positions" that don't behave like normal trades. For serious traders it's mostly noise, but the regulatory implications are real. MiCA in Europe already treats prediction markets differently from spot trading. If exchanges start bundling gambling products under the same licence, it gives regulators a reason to tighten restrictions on the trading side too. The cynical take is that exchanges need new revenue streams because spot trading fees keep compressing. Gambling has better margins than a 0.1% maker fee.

silent API errors are a nightmare for bots

FriendsMade_MeDoIt

From what I’ve seen in my circle, it’s not like a daily disaster, but it definitely comes up enough to be annoying. A couple friends running bots hit random API hiccups maybe a few times a month. Stuff like rate limits or weird delays during high volatility. The bigger issue wasn’t total failure, it was bad timing. Like orders going through late or data lagging when the market’s moving fast. Most of them just built in basic retry logic and some safety checks. Nothing super fancy. One guy literally just pauses trading if the API starts acting weird because he got burned once during a spike. As for trusting a tool to handle it automatically, I think people would be interested but also kinda skeptical. Everyone I know is paranoid about adding another layer that could fail or mess with execution. Feels like it’s a real problem, just not painful enough yet that everyone’s actively looking for a new solution. But if something proved reliable over time, I could see people warming up to it.

zerozero023

That's a fair point. Full exchange downtime — you're right, nothing helps there. But what I'm targeting is the smaller frequent errors that happen 50+ times a day that most bots don't handle well: - Rate limits: smart backoff + automatic key rotation instead of crashing - Stale data: detecting old timestamps and fetching from backup sources - Auth failures: signature recalculation without needing a restart - JSON schema changes: auto-remapping when the exchange quietly updates their API format Not trying to fix exchange downtime — just the daily noise that interrupts trades.

zerozero023

Good question. I'm building it specifically for bots running 24/7 that can't have someone watching them constantly. The tool sits between the bot and the exchange — it detects the error type, fixes it automatically (rate limits, stale data, auth failures, broken JSON), and lets the bot continue without any manual intervention. Security-wise: no API keys are ever sent to the tool. It only receives the error response (status code + error message), so your keys stay local on your machine. As for targeting — honestly both. Beginners benefit because they don't have to build all this error handling from scratch. Advanced users benefit because they can stop maintaining custom retry logic for every exchange.

HotExperience6196

I’m not running bots myself, just learning, but I’ve seen a lot of people mention API issues being a real thing, especially during high volatility. From what I understand, it’s not constant but when it does happen it’s usually at the worst time, like fast price moves. That’s when delays or failed orders can actually matter. I think most people just build in retries, timeouts, and some kind of fallback logic, but it doesn’t seem like a “solved” problem, more like something everyone patches differently. Your idea sounds useful tbh, but I wonder if people would be hesitant to add another layer between their bot and the exchange unless it’s super reliable. Curious if you’re targeting more beginners or people already running more complex setups?

Post is by: swypeswap and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1sfpn93/we_built_a_noncustodial_crypto_payment_platform/ Hey everyone, We’ve been building SWYPE for a while and wanted to share it with this community. Happy to answer questions honestly. **What it does:** At its core, SWYPE is a payment layer for crypto — not another swap aggregator. The main use cases: • **Payment links & bill splitting** — generate a shareable link, split costs with up to 10 people. They can pay in fiat or crypto, on any chain. Everything gets routed and swapped in the background so you receive in your preferred asset and network automatically. • **Creator tipping** — tip pages with live-stream overlay integration. When someone tips during a stream, you get a real-time on-screen animation. Works like StreamElements/StreamLabs but for crypto. • **Private swaps** — non-custodial, cheaper than most competitors, routed privately. No trail between send and receive addresses. Security-first approach: We never ask for private keys, seed phrases, or wallet connect. We also have active measures against site cloning. Funds are never held by us — everything is managed through established partners in the crypto space. **For developers:** We have an API and SDK if you want to embed public or private swap flows, or the full payment experience, into your own project. AI-assisted integration is in the works to make this even simpler. **Links:** • Platform: https://swypeswap.com • Docs: https://swypeswap.com/developers • X: https://x.com/swypeswap Early days, small team, building in public.

Honestly no, and verifying it is easier than people think. Pull a closed trade, take the executed price and size, and check it against what the exchange API returns for that order ID, including the commission field. Most exchanges expose commission and commissionAsset on the order endpoint (Binance, Bybit, OKX all do). If the displayed total in the UI matches the API's commission \* price, you're fine. The issues I've seen are mostly maker/taker misclassification on partial fills, where the UI shows a flat taker fee but the API breaks it into two fills with different rates. Other thing worth checking is funding fees on perps. Those rarely show up clean in the trade history, you have to pull the funding fee endpoint separately and reconcile by hour. Coinbase and KuCoin are the worst offenders for hiding those in a separate ledger. If you don't want to touch APIs, just take 5 random closed trades per month and recalculate by hand: (price \* qty \* fee\_rate). If it lines up within a few cents you can stop worrying. If it doesn't, you have a real problem worth raising support tickets over.

I didn’t share any API keys or connect my account to third-party services. This also because i mainly trade Futures and there are no working Futures API on BTCC This was an unauthorized access to the account itself, and the trades were executed directly from within the platform. That’s why I’m trying to understand how this was handled internally.

UnitedAcanthaceae118

This is why people shouldn't share their API keys with third parties, even if withdrawal permission is disabled. Anyone who has access to trading can easily drain an account.

Hannahshear

Been using free CoinStats API to pull the data on my personal dashboard. Works so fast

intelw1zard

Almost every single major price checking platform has an API...for years now CoinGecko has one CMC has one DefiLlama has one

d3jok3r

I think you know it already but in case you don't, it's better to use the free API service in companion with an API connector and spreadsheet (like google sheet). This way helps manage the limited API calls/month (as whenever you need to see the latest price, you can manually run the API).

Blockchainauditor

Yes - a good source for free if you recognize the limitations, in particular NO HISTORICAL DATA: * **30+** data endpoints * **10K** call credits/mo * No historical data * Personal use Any of the GenAI tools can write code to easily access the API. And even better (as far as I'm concerned), there is an MCP server as well (https://coinmarketcap.com/api/mcp/) which means you can just talk to your favorite AI tool and it will know how to access the data in the API.

NastyStreetRat

It takes ten minutes to create a Python script that connects to the API and generates an HTML file with updated prices whenever you want, or displays the data on the screen.

atlasayn

Most "crypto AI agents" fall into two buckets: signal generators (what to trade) and execution bots (how to trade). The missing piece is risk governance — how much to risk given current conditions. For analysis: CoinGlass for derivatives data (funding, OI, CVD, liquidations), DefiLlama for on-chain/TVL, and FRED API for macro. Feed those into any LLM and you get decent regime reads. For execution: CoW Protocol if you're on Ethereum (MEV protection, better fills than Uniswap for larger orders). The gap nobody talks about: none of these tools tell you position sizing relative to current market regime. An agent that's correct on direction but 3x oversized during a volatility spike still loses money. That's the layer most people skip.

FriendsMade_MeDoIt

Yeah a couple of my friends used that for a class project last sem and it worked pretty smoothly for them. The free tier was enough as long as you’re not spamming requests. One thing they did that was actually cool was tracking price + volume spikes and showing it on a simple dashboard, then comparing it to news or hype in real time. Made it feel less like just numbers and more like “why is this moving right now.” If you’re working with friends, splitting it up helps too. One handles the API stuff, another does the visuals, another tries to find patterns. Way less painful that way lol.

I couldn't agree more! Privacy should be front of mind, in the age of wrench attacks and various frauds. I've build [HODLings](https://www.geosystemsdev.com/products/hodlings/) - a lightweight privacy focused crypto tracker. It doesn't require an account, API keys, or cloud. Everything is stored on device. There are no ads too! The price is symbolic - just 1$ one off. No upgrades or in-app purchases. We don't have a server - everything is client side on device. Give it a go and give us feedback! It's early days, so I want to hear what people think!

GeoSystemsDeveloper

For privacy focus, pls have a look at [HODLings](https://www.geosystemsdev.com/products/hodlings/) It built on top of the CoinGecko API. No accounts, no login, no cloud, etc. Local storage only. Symbolic cost of 1$ one off (no upgrades or in-app purchases). Ad free too. It's early days, so feedback is very much welcome! It would be an upgrade from a spreadsheet for sure!

Even with read only API keys, they can still know what you have, right? For privacy concious folks, no connection to exchanges is best, which is what [HODlings](https://www.geosystemsdev.com/products/hodlings/) offers

This is the part about Hyperliquid that nobody wants to talk about publicly because the ecosystem is still small enough that criticizing the team feels like biting the hand that feeds you. The protocol itself is genuinely permissionless. Every trade settles on chain. Every position is verifiable. That transparency is real and it's the reason I built an entire analytics platform on top of HL data. You can decompose wallet level flow, track whale positions, verify liquidation levels. No other exchange gives you that resolution. The on chain part works exactly as advertised. But the frontend is a different story. And for 99% of users, the frontend IS the platform. If you can't load the page, it doesn't matter that the smart contracts are permissionless. The practical experience is identical to getting banned from Binance, except Binance at least sends you an email explaining what happened and gives you a support ticket number. The Discord timeout instead of an explanation is the part that bothers me most. Getting flagged by a third party screening tool is annoying but understandable in the current regulatory climate. Getting silenced when you ask why is a choice. And it's the wrong one. A simple "your wallet was flagged by our compliance screening partner, here's how to appeal" would cost nothing and change the entire dynamic. The workaround of using secondary wallets proves the enforcement doesn't actually work for its stated purpose. Real bad actors already use fresh wallets for every session. The only people who get caught are legitimate traders with long wallet histories who happen to trigger some opaque algorithm. You're punishing the wrong population. What I'd want to see is exactly what you described. Transparent criteria. Graduated response. The ability to see WHY you were flagged and dispute it. Hyperliquid generates $1.5 million a day in fees. They can afford a two person compliance team that handles appeals with actual human review instead of outsourcing everything to a black box risk scoring API. For anyone in a similar situation: the underlying chain data is still public regardless of frontend access. Tools like [buildix.trade](http://buildix.trade) pull directly from the Hyperliquid API and work whether or not you can load the official frontend. Your positions, your trade history, your analytics access don't depend on frontend permission. That doesn't solve the trading access problem but it means your data isn't locked behind their gate.

QRL is moving from a PoW, XMSS signature infrastructure (fundamentally different from the Elliptic Curve cryptography used by almost every other chain and thus difficult to integrate) to a PoS infrastructure with an Ethereum-compatible API. Named “Zond”, once fully live (with Testnet V2 having launched in Q1 2026), it will allow exchanges to treat QRL much more like an Ethereum-based chain, drastically lowering the technical barrier to entry. It’s currently being audited and, should it pass, mainnet will be released shortly after. Additionally, it’s been quantum resistant since its inception. **There isn’t a single wallet that will be susceptible to quantum attacks.** With all the talk of post quantum security, I really think people are sleeping on this one. It could be a critical backbone for post quantum secure chains to follow.

Fantasiac

I dont think you were scammed. This looks like the real polymarket international website. The address you sent funds to is a proxy wallet address that can only be used with the Polymarket API (for trading bots). They warn you (including in your screenshot) not to send funds to that address because it is just a proxy address (for polymarket's internal use). You're supposed to use the Deposit button to get access to the actual address you should be sending to. So not, you were likely not scammed. You just didn't read the instructions and realise you sent your money to the wrong address.

Kemilio

Up much more than 300%? It’s not available on any tier 1 exchanges due to its difficultly to integrate. QRL is a unique, native Layer 1 blockchain. It uses the eXtended Merkle Signature Scheme (XMSS), which is fundamentally different from the Elliptic Curve cryptography used by almost every other chain. The PoS upgrade changes all that. It introduces an Ethereum-compatible API. Once fully live (with Testnet V2 having launched in Q1 2026), it will allow exchanges to treat QRL much more like an Ethereum-based chain, drastically lowering the technical barrier to entry. Once it’s on more common exchanges and able to integrate with other cryptos, it’ll jump. Im sorry my friend, but you don’t seem to know what you’re talking about

Different coins, different positions, some spot, some futures. The portfolio tracking situation was... embarrassing. I had a Google Sheet that I updated maybe twice a week if I remembered. Realized P&L was basically a guess. I genuinely didn't know if I was up or down on a net basis half the time. I started looking into proper portfolio trackers and ran into the usual problems: Custodial platforms that want to hold your keys — hard no Tools that support 3-4 exchanges max Clunky UIs that feel like they were designed in 2017 No real futures/derivatives support Eventually landed on SolariaWorld (solariaworld.com). It connects to 11+ exchanges including the main ones most of us use — Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, Bybit, Bybit, OKX, Hyperliquid, etc. — through read/trade-only API keys. They never touch your funds. Non-custodial architecture. What actually matters day-to-day: ✅ Unified balance view across all exchanges (spot + futures in one place) ✅ Real P&L tracking with actual entry prices, not estimates ✅ Cross-exchange performance analytics ✅ 256-bit encryption on everything There's a free trial so you don't have to commit to anything to test it. Genuinely curious — how are you all currently tracking across multiple exchanges? Spreadsheet? Another tool? Just vibes? I feel like this is one of those problems everyone has but nobody talks about enough. The number of people I know who have no idea what their actual portfolio P&L is would surprise you.

Yes, quite different, and the differences are more specific than just UI. The biggest practical differences I found after running live across Binance, Bybit, OKX, and KuCoin: Execution quality varies per pair, not just per exchange. A pair that trades with tight spreads and good fill rates on Binance might be significantly worse on OKX for the same pair if the liquidity is concentrated on one platform. For BTC and ETH perps the difference is small. For anything outside the top 20 by volume it can be meaningful. API stability is not equal. Binance has had more unscheduled API outages in my experience, but also has the most detailed documentation and the fastest official WebSocket feeds for spot. Bybit API has been more stable for perps in recent memory. This matters a lot if you are running anything automated. Funding rate behavior differs because the mechanisms differ slightly. Bybit and Binance both use 8-hour funding but the index price calculation feeds are different, which causes small divergences that some arb bots exploit. UI is honestly the least important difference once you get used to any of them. It is the underlying data quality, API reliability, and liquidity depth that affects your actual PnL.

0xsbeem

I’m not saying that you can’t monetize information… im saying that prediction markets specifically depend on liquidity to monetize information, even if they are trying to monetize the data through other ways like API access. Can you monetize information without liquidity? Yes, of course, but you’re no longer talking about a prediction **market**

Good instinct building this. Automating the manual stuff is usually where it starts. The next wall you will hit is when you want live data instead of fetching on refresh. REST polling works fine until you want updates faster than every 30-60 seconds, and then the rate limits start biting. Most crypto exchanges count API calls per IP or per key, and polling 10+ assets across 3 exchanges adds up fast. WebSocket feeds solve the rate limit problem but come with their own headaches: reconnection handling, sequence gaps, timestamp drift between exchanges. The spreadsheet approach breaks down pretty quickly once you want anything near real-time. If you stay in the polling world, one thing worth doing is centralising the fetching to a single process instead of pulling from multiple tabs or scripts. That way you control the request budget properly.

ma5ochrist

The sounding dollar approach will avoid false data ( if I hammer the actual quote API I expect it to find me different providers, which will have different fees, which will make my check to see if the value is growing useless) and it's the part where I can implement something fancier in the future ( like following what big investors do, have an AI calculate trends etc) for now checking the growth for half a minute and assume the trend continues should be enough

iHateReddit-_-

Fair question. The signal log is a local SQLite database with an append-only schema — there's no UPDATE or DELETE function in the code, only INSERT. Every signal gets a UUID, timestamp, and all the trade data written before it posts to Discord. Right now you'd have to take my word for it, which I know isn't ideal. The next step is exposing a public API endpoint where anyone can query the full signal history directly from the database. That way you don't trust me — you trust the data. It's on the roadmap. In the meantime, every signal posts to Discord with a timestamp. The Discord message history itself is a secondary verification layer — members can scroll back and see every call in real time. You can't backdate a Discord message.

Ai views on New Kind of Network (NKN) this post keeps getting removed by mods in crypto Reddits am I onto something? Why an AI Agent Would Use NKN? The primary "why" is autonomy. Traditional AI agents (like those using OpenAI’s API) rely on centralized servers. If the server goes down or the API provider deplatforms the agent, it "dies." NKN offers: Serverless Presence: AI agents can have a permanent, globally reachable address (an NKN ID) without needing a static IP or a centralized cloud host. End-to-End Encryption: Because NKN is peer-to-peer (P2P), agents can exchange sensitive data or proprietary model outputs with 100% privacy—crucial for "DeAI" (Decentralized AI). Anti-Censorship: Agents operating on NKN cannot be easily blocked by traditional firewalls or centralized gatekeepers because their traffic is relayed through a mesh of over 100,000 global nodes. How an AI Agent Uses NKN The integration usually happens through NKN’s Universal Communication Service (UCS) or dedicated plugins for agent frameworks. 1. Peer-to-Peer "Secret" Communication Agents can talk to one another directly. For example, the ElizaOS (a popular framework for autonomous agents) has an NKN plugin. This allows an agent to: Send a task request to another agent. Receive a processed data set back. All without the data ever touching a centralized server like AWS or Google Cloud. 2. Decentralized Model Inference An agent can use NKN to "shop" for compute. The Request: An agent needs to run a large language model (LLM) but doesn't have the local hardware. The Relay: It sends the prompt over the NKN network to a decentralized worker node. The Result: The worker node processes the inference and sends the result back through NKN’s secure tunnel. 3. Human-to-Agent Interface (nMobile & d-Chat) NKN has integrated AI bots directly into their private messaging apps (like nMobile). How it works: You send a message to an NKN address. The NKN network relays that message to the AI agent’s local environment. The agent processes it and sends a response back via the same P2P path. 4. The "Proof of Relay" Incentive If an AI agent is part of a larger autonomous swarm, it can actually earn NKN tokens by acting as a relay node for other agents. This creates a self-sustaining micro-economy where agents pay each other in NKN for bandwidth and data transmission. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

The honest answer is that nothing does all three well, and the technical reasons are worth understanding. Bank and brokerage aggregation works reasonably well through Plaid/MX connections. Monarch Money and Copilot are the current favorites after Mint shut down. Empower (formerly Personal Capital) is solid for investment tracking specifically. Crypto wallet aggregation is a different technical problem. You're either connecting via API keys (exchange accounts) or watching public addresses (self-custody wallets). CoinTracker, Koinly, and CoinStats handle this but their bank integrations are weak or nonexistent. Institutional investments are the hardest. PE funds, hedge funds, and alternative investments typically don't have any API. You're stuck with manual entry or PDF parsing. This is where wealth management platforms charge premium prices and still mostly rely on manual updates. The closest to a unified solution is Kubera. It does bank connections, crypto wallet tracking, and manual entry for alternatives. The interface is clean and it's built for net worth tracking rather than budgeting. The tradeoff is cost, it's more expensive than single-purpose tools. The fragmentation you're frustrated by exists because each data source has different access patterns and no single company has built reliable integrations across all three. Plaid for banks, various crypto APIs and address watching, and basically nothing standardized for institutional investments. What most people actually do is pick one primary dashboard and accept that some accounts need manual updates.

I built [HODLings](https://www.geosystemsdev.com/products/hodlings/), the private mobile crypto tracker which doesn't track you! Available on both [Android ](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.hodlings.twa) and [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/au/app/hodlings/id6759246821) No accounts, no API keys, no ads, no cloud, local only storage. Track your portfolio, the market, news, and sentiment in one place! Give it a go - keen to hear your feedback!

Copy paste form my above response. it's basically a lot of api, and smart analysis by a lot of llm. Each dimension is scored 0-100 using LLM-orchestrated analysis with live API data: Sustainability - Treasury runway, burn rate, team stability, regulatory positioning. Agents pull financial data and assess long-term viability. Transparency - Founder visibility, public governance votes, update frequency, incident response. Agents cross-check team claims against LinkedIn, GitHub profiles, and public records. Revenue - Actual protocol fees and cash flow from Token Terminal and DeFi Llama. Aave generates $83M/month in fees. PEPE generates zero. That gap shows in the score. Innovation - GitHub commits normalized for project age, unique dev count, novel tech. Agents check org-level repos via GitHub API, not just the main one. Some projects look active on one repo but have 20 dead ones. Community - DAU, ecosystem dApps, developer count, organic social growth with bot filtering. High followers with no engagement = low score. Tokenomics - Inflation rate, unlock schedules, insider concentration, value accrual. If top 10 wallets hold 80%+ supply, that tanks the score. The whole pipeline runs 24/7 on a VPS with dozens of AI agents orchestrated through API calls, cron jobs, and multi-agent consensus. Every score gets validated by a multiple other ia, hallucination detector etc.. before publishing. Revenue is null for store-of-value assets like Bitcoin, so it averages the remaining five.

Khalid from CoinTracker here. Most crypto tax software does not need PII to operate. For example, on CoinTracker you just need to provide an email address to sign up. When you connect your exchange accounts, we do not store any PII from the exchange's API either. I would imagine most crypto tax solutions operate in this way, but I can only speak to CoinTracker with certainty.

You don’t have to use API if you want to stay fully in control of your data. If you import via CSV only, you choose exactly what gets uploaded - no API connection, no syncing of accounts It’s a bit more manual, but Koinly supports most exchange CSVs and you can also use custom templates if needed: [https://support.koinly.io/en/articles/9489976-how-to-create-a-custom-csv-file-with-your-data](https://support.koinly.io/en/articles/9489976-how-to-create-a-custom-csv-file-with-your-data) I can’t speak for every platform, but most crypto tax tools offer CSV imports so you can take a similar approach elsewhere too.

Most tax software gonna need some way to verify ownership of the accounts, but you could try manually importing CSV files instead of API connections. That way you're not giving direct access to your exchange profile Just download your transaction history from Kraken and upload the files - keeps your personal details separate from tax software

It’s says Koinly gets your registered name. I want to keep my exchange email address and registered name and every other bit of personal information away from crypto tax softwares. I want to be anonymous. Does anyone have any recommendations? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

It is: super simple setup, send it cross boarder to folks who have no bank account or technical understanding. "So if I want to send Bitcoin to someone, I need to fund that wallet from elsewhere, presumably by fulfilling an LN invoice?" Right now you need to fill it from elsewhere by sending it to a LNURL address. In the future you'll be able to buy Bitcoin within the messenger app as well easily. KYC will be as simple as doing a super short video of you, filming your ID. KYC will be handled as securely and easily as possible. "Will users need to provide credentials to an exchange platform? An API key?" That's not planed, what would be the benefit? Easy back and forth transaction? Hmm interesting, haven't thought about that yet! I'm thinking about open-sourcing it as soon as I have more traction. Took me 3 years to build it (partly full time, partly half-time). Nothing vibe coded!

What's the value proposition? If I'm understanding correctly, it's a custodial wallet that lives inside messaging apps. So if I want to send Bitcoin to someone, I need to fund that wallet from elsewhere, presumably by fulfilling an LN invoice? So what's the benefit, why wouldn't I just send the LN funds directly to the recipient? Also, from your home page, it seems like buying from USD isn't implemented yet, but what's the plan here? How will you manage KYC? Will users need to provide credentials to an exchange platform? An API key? Also, do you plan on open-sourcing this, so that it can be self-hosted?

most people who last more than a few weeks treat the bot like a reckless intern, you give it strict limits and assume it will mess up at some point, basic stuff like hard position sizing caps, max daily loss, and kill switches tied to drawdown or volatility spikes go a long way, some also restrict trading to certain market conditions so it doesn’t fire during low liquidity or crazy wicks, one simple check is to run it in paper or with tiny size through different market regimes first, especially high volatility, just to see how it behaves when things get weird, also don’t rely only on the exchange safeguards since they won’t catch strategy logic errors, and keep in mind API issues or latency can still cause bad fills or duplicate orders, are you building your own bot or tweaking something off the shelf?

I tried building a simple rule system using an API, mainly to force myself to follow preset conditions. The experience is still different compared to trading manually I was wondering how everyone usually stays consistent with their trading! Do you rely entirely on subjective judgment, or do you use some systematic/automated methods to hold yourself accountable? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I recently built a small trading bot using APIs, mainly to reduce emotional trading and make strategy execution more consistent. After some testing, I found that compared to manual trading, following preset rules does improve overall consistency Sure, it's not a "miracle tool" and the market is still full of uncertainties, but it has definitely helped me avoid a lot of emotional trading I was wondering if anyone in the community is also trying automated trading or API trading? I'd really love to exchange strategies, ideas, or any pitfalls we've encountered. If you're still trading manually and find it unstable, feel free to chat too - we can learn from each other *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Love this. API keys never leaving the phone is the right approach. I've been DCA'ing weekly for 20+ months manually and honestly the "boring manual" part is what kept me disciplined. But I can see how automation helps people who forget or get emotional and skip a buy when prices are down. That's usually the worst time to skip. Cool project 👊
