Yes we are working with some to figure out the right fit. Haven't decided on any yet. Do you have any recommendations?

Thank you for your feedback. We will look into the website.

Yes you can connect multiple exchanges and multiple accounts on those exchanges.

If you have used Coinigy or Altrady, I request you to try our app. Happy to gather more feedback. It will help us improve.

We are already building US equities support and scheduled to be released in Q1 2022. Yes the current news feed is not suitable for professional traders. As soon we get to offer US equities, we have plans to provide agency news.

I am very curious to know as you tried the app, how do you see it as slow.

We do have plans for those but before that we are integrating a few of the regulated European exchanges.

Thank you for the kind words. Do you want to build a desktop or a web app? If desktop, despite all the electron hate here in the threads, I still say it’s a quickest way to build something to test out. Good thing, you can use your C++ code in Node. If you do go with Electron, you will need to learn some JavaScript. I think 1 or 2 weeks of learning Javascript should be enough to build a PoC.

We are very upfront about our tech stack. It is clearly stated in my post.

Regarding whether electron apps are desktop apps or not, we can go on and on about it. I do understand the demerits of Electron technically but I also see merits in using it for startups like ours where we can quickly build and test with users.

Regarding trusting with users' cryptocurrencies, we don't hold any cryptocurrencies. They remain on the exchanges.

Electron is technically not native, that is correct. We have never hidden the fact that we use Electron.

Thank you. We connect directly with cryptocurrency exchanges. We wrote our own connectors for their APIs. We do not use third-party data or API services.

TradingView is a charting tool. We have TradingView in our app as well. But trading involves lot more than charting. Second difference is that it is a desktop app and the connectivity is peer to peer with the exchanges.

That is exactly the reason we have started with Electron. You got it right. Thank you.

It works with multiple cryptocurrency exchanges that you can connect using APIs. If the supported exchanges are available in your country, yes you can use it.

Perhaps because it is easy to start with. We do realize the shortcomings. In our v3, we are rethinking this.

Thank you for your interest. It is the goal all along - to be faster, more efficient and reliable. We do have plans to build algo trading. And if users could write their own python scripts, that will be amazing - noted down as a feature request.

EDIT: I understand your disappointment with Electron. We do have different plans for v3.
