Looks good! I'd maybe use fewer smilies though
ogiberstein··on Show HN: Adadot – analytics for better, happier developers
Congrats on the launch!

I've shared with our CTO - he really liked your public roadmap :)

They do but from what I can tell it's not really their focus

We currently test rules manually and post results here: https://help.coinrule.com/en/collections/2700051-template-ru... and also in our community on telegram. The automated backtesting is coming later this year - correctly capturing for slippage is tough; we will be using historical order book data provided by Kaiko to make this as realistic as possible though

Thanks for letting us know, I will look into it!

Hm not sure how well established as a rule this is - we got this advice from a fintech-proficient lawyer though

Great point! We are working on this integration this sprint and will have it on staging by end of day tomorrow. Hoping to deploy next week! :)

Good question - I'll jump in for Gab as its his mum's birthday today :)

With fixed fee pricing we are seen by regulators as a Software provider rather than a trading platform. The other point is that user funds sit on the exchanges and we have no withdrawal rights for greater account safety, so it's easier for us to just charge a fixed fee.

We are big fans of Alpaca, it's great! Will probably use it when we expand to stocks as well.

You can create your own 'bundles' of coins and rebalance them using Coinrule. Some of our template strategies have been backtested (see here for a few of them: https://help.coinrule.com/en/collections/2700051-template-ru...).

That said, we are also going to add other asset classes in the future and this will allow users to get in and out of ETFs easily.

I would argue that the efficient market hypothesis is problematic at best and I also disagree with the characterization of our users as 'dumb money'. We are in fact quite lucky to have some very smart users with us. There are many ways you can use Coinrule, not all of them must be entirely short-term oriented!

That said, it's absolutely your good right to disagree with our value proposition.

Thanks! :) Why did you guys stop?
ogiberstein··on Launch HN: Coinrule (YC S21) – Automated Trading Made Easy
Fair enough! We do have quite a few users also running medium and longer-term focused strategies such as accumulations on dips

Hah good point! I think something like https://tokentax.co/ can still help you do it quite easily because you can export all the transactions from the exchange.

Thanks for the feedback. I am not sure if markets are a zero-sum game though? If the sector grows, the whole pie can become bigger, right?
ogiberstein··on Launch HN: Coinrule (YC S21) – Automated Trading Made Easy
Thanks for the feedback - yes we need to improve that!

Hi Jake - some of the traditional finance platforms (like IG) have APIs but not sure how high quality they are. You could probably hack something together if you are good enough with it though - keep in mind you still have to keep adjusting parameters, testing strategies on an ongoing basis etc etc. It's plenty work

Thanks!

Re Mudrex, they are more of a strategies marketplace nowadays and we want to allow people to build their own 'rules'. We're a bit more like Zapier for trading, they are a bit more of an investments marketplace.
