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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
