Do you guys like trading platforms that connect to your exchange accounts through API's to help you watch the cryptocurrency markets? Bitsgap is a platform that allows you to manage your crypto assets all in one area. I have never personally used it so I am wondering if you guys have ever used something similar or the platform itself?











*I am not paid if you use this platform or not. I would not recommend using anything that captures your private keys.

I've used a similar platform before, it's called tabtrader.

Bitsgap seems to have more features though.

I also haven't used their services, but here is their ANN thread: Bitsgap.com | Trade on all cryptocurrency exchanges from one platform (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2864214.100).

Not very active though, their thread was open Feb 2018 and so far they have like six pages, and their official account is active like three weeks ago. So that's speak about their services here.

I have checked out their platform before. One thing i was not happy about was the sluggishness of their site and of course you need to subscribe in order to use it. There is a section for signals too. Not sure how accurate they are thou.

Other platforms of this nature but are Phone apps are;
- Tabtrader
- Bituniverse

Both are free to use.
3commas is also similar to them but it requires subscription

uh, are you the same guy in the video you linked? or the usernames which are Timothy Forrest and TimtheYoutuber is just a huge coincidence?  🤔

If you are, then I don't understand how can it be called a review if you didn't use the said service. I jumped to every minute (or less) of the video and never saw the youtuber guy logged in either.

It's more like a brief overview, lol.

I'm very hesitent when it comes to anything that wants my API keys. People often think they are safe because it's mostly not possible to withdraw through an API key, but it happened before that people's accounts have been used to pump an illiquid coin where the hackers then withdrew Bitcoin from the exchange(s) concerned.

I doubt there is much demand for such a service anyway, mainly so because most skilled traders steer cleer of services like these.

yeahhh and the video is 17 mins long so better just watch a person who actually used the service and could give you a gist of what it looks like.

Can you still look up the articles or anything about that? I remember searching if such a thing happened before and wasn't able to find one. It'd be a good read.

I am testing the Bitsgap bot for about 5 months with 0.4 BTC invested. You can check my results in the blog: https://tradingbot.info/category/results/

Bots are for the lazy folks. I prefer trading and making decisions myself. Yes, I may make mistakes but In the long run practice prefects my art of trading. The trading bots firstly, eat up your profits in form of "subscription" and there is no guarantee that you will make profits when you use a bot.
Secondly, one is likely to fall into a trap of scam trading bots.

More like dumb folks within crypto. Bots have been turned into a meme due to all the dumbos here thinking they can earn passive income (in some cases due to false advertising).

People have tried trading manually but failed, then tried again and failed again. If people are willing to pay decent money for a bot subscription (remember, people are cheapskates, they don't usually want to pay for anything), they have likely failed on all fronts before and this is their last "money making" method.

Revenge trading is part of the problem. People lose so much money that they want to find a way to make it all back, but that's where the problem only gets worse.  :-\
