Title: A new platform to trade Bitcoins: BTX Trader
Post by: riddler on May 17, 2013, 10:29:08 AM
We've built a Windows based professional trading platform.

It's not an exchange. It's not a platform that will trade for you and generate profits. Rather -- it will help improve your trade entry and manage your trade's lifecycle.

You'll love the how easy it is to review market data, trade and understand exchange connectivity status.

I've attached a screenshot.

We're getting ready to hand out the platform to interested users.

If you would like to join the free private beta, please visit http://www.btxtrader.com and sign up with you email address.

Looking forward to hearing from the community!

Windows platform - ouch - way to cut out half your market before you even start.

Windows runs on >89% of desktops / laptops, last time I checked. :)

Go to a bitcoin conference or any dev conference. You won't find 89% Windows users there.

Always check your demographics before quoting any stats.

Young people run macbooks / airbooks / mobiles / tablets. And that's worldwide.

I don't want an app of any kind, I want something I can access through a browser. You are obviously after a different market.

Gotta agree with this, I'm sure it is a great app but it probably won't get much use. Good luck though.

Any plans on working with other exchanges?  I'll likely just use this for planning rather than trading, if MtGox is the only one it's going to support.  Would prefer CampBX, and if not that then BTC-e.

Yup, there is an issue with a few browsers and SSL (thanks to AppEngine (https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/ssl)). I'm working on it.

Http  (http://www.btxtrader.com)should work for all.

We're launching with MTGOX integration. Would love to support more liquidity sources eventually.

first release working fine so far.

what I would really like to see is a candle stick chart (like clark moody) or at least a line chart (like bitcoinity) in the app, ideally for a configurable time frame (at least from 1-24 hours).

additional exchanges like btce and bitstamp would also be nice, but the chart is more important to me (as now I still have to keep a browser tab open for the chart).

Hi btxtrader  team,

Please allow users to optionally configure newly proposed currency code XBT, along with BTC.

1 XBT = 100 satoshi.

There are few threads in this forum that pushes for XBT ISO currency code standard adoption.

I am not sure, 'BTX trader' already uses this.

I will also send a mail to, help@btxtrader.com.

Thanks.

Hi, My name is Ilya from BTX Trader.

Thank you for your feedback! we are actively working on charts and they will be in our next release.

Also, we are planning on implementing XBT and other units of BTC, this is in our back log of to-do's.

Saw this posted again in another thread, so figured I'd download it to see if anything really has changed from my previous inquiries.

First issue, I have to create a login for a program running on my computer?  What's up with that?

Got that done, and looked around the program.  Seems nice, but for someone like me who is new to trading, a lot of the data doesn't make sense and the graph didn't look anything like I expected.  Standard candle chart would have been nice.

And finally, still no other exchanges than Mt Gox.  I don't see Mt Gox lasting much longer, and I've vowed to never use them again, so I've now uninstalled the program until there is official support for other exchanges.

Thanks for giving it another shot!

It's true that the tick chart can be daunting. I've attached a little explanation of various aspects of the tick chart. I can tell you that it can be extremely powerful one you get the hang of it.

On the other hand, a standard candle/bar plot is invaluable and I'm working to push it out very soon.

Additional exchanges: yes, it's in my todos.

Thanks for the explanation, at least now I know what it means.  Still not easy to read, though.

Are there any plans to add any kind of bot-type features?  I'd really like some kind of trend-following stuff, like EMA/SMA crossovers, or even VWAP crossovers, for example.

As for priorities, I'd suggest that getting it working on other exchanges should be higher.  Simply due to there's a good chance that the legal issues and other problems surrounding Mt Gox will likely make it a bad exchange choice, or maybe even non-existent, in the very near future.

As it is right now, it is a non-choice for me.  There is no low-cost option for moving USD in/out any more with the Dwolla seizure, and what with no wire transfers going on right now.  Even so, wire is not an option for me, since I'm not going to pay $50 (or whatever it is) to move $20 over there to buy coins.  CampBX and Coinbase seem to be my only options to buy BTC with little to no cost of moving in the USD for the volume I'll be doing ($20 or so every paycheck).

I will incorporate your feedback in prioritizing the work to add additional exchanges.

If you have any specific suggestions for the chart -- please let me know; I am happy to make improvements.

Yes, I have something related to bots coming out in the near future. I will add more details once the features/functionality are hashed out.

Over time I'd probably get to understanding the chart, but would have to use it on a regular basis for that to happen.  I think just having the option of some more standard chart styles (candles or OHLC lines) would be good enough for me.

Glad to hear you are working on some bot features for this.  Will definitely be watching your progress.  :)


Title: Re: A new platform to trade Bitcoins: BTX Trader
Post by: riddler on July 21, 2013, 10:12:36 PM
An update:

I've added OHLC/Candlestick charts. Bars are being created for bid, ask, mid and last price. The bars are updated in real-time as ticks come in.

I've attached a few screenshots.

Thoughts?  ;D

Hmmm....I don't get how this was announced months ago but an article today says that:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/shares-no-name-tech-company-122532967.html

BTXTrader

Shares in a little-known tech firm are up more than 65% in pre-market trading this morning after after it announced it was preparing to launch a beta version of its Bitcoin trading platform.

Pennsylvania-based WPCS says it recently acquired BTXTrader, which is developing what it says is the first trading platform allowing Bitcoin users to "access market data and execute orders on the five most popular Bitcoin exchanges in a single application."

"Obviously, we are still in development mode, but we're on schedule to release both web and mobile versions of our platform by early 2014," BTX Trader Chief Operating Officer, Ilya Subkhankulov, said in the release.

The firm's shares surged more than 20% to $1.81 on heavy volume in after-hours trading yesterday. We first saw the story on Marketwatch as reported by Wallace Witkowski.

Very little has been written about WPCS, which bills itself as a communications infrastructure firm. They IPO'd in 2003 at more $140 and spent the next 10 years going to practically zero.

Also everytime I try to add my MtGox API I get a timeout.

How about some more currency pairs for btc-e as well?

Hi guys, we just refreshed our website (btxtrader.com) and up next are launching a web version. We will continue to support both web and desktop versions of BTX (both of which connect to the same backend servers).
In addition, we're connecting to Bitstamp's realtime feed to speed up the market data.

Are we missing any features that you'd like to see?

Title: Re: A new platform to trade Bitcoins: BTX Trader
Post by: ilyabtxtrader on March 07, 2014, 09:39:14 PM
Yes, the application is free for the time being. We don't yet have the ability to trade via the charts. But you can click in the depth of book in the montage to populate the price box when trading so you dont have to type in prices manually.


Title: Re: A new platform to trade Bitcoins: BTX Trader
Post by: MasterMark-Si on March 07, 2014, 10:04:53 PM
it would be very nice and inovative that we can trade via chart; when in position like on bitcoinwisdom for seeing the value, click for setting a buy, click for setting a sell, right for menu for cancel... and everything would be quick, so you could trade in 10 sec intervals...
this kind of stuff we need!

BTX Trader is operated as a freemium product, we make money on advanced orders (https://www.btxtrader.com/#/info) that are placed through our system from users' prepaid BTX wallets at a fee of 0.2% (0.002) of the trade value. We do not front-run any client orders.
