6 Key Features of the Signals Framework

As a developer, imagine you could work with any data stream, on any market and also take advantage of existing algorithms from other users. All of this, accessible in the cloud from anywhere, with the ability to run big data computations. Sounds good, right? We’ve designed the Signals Development framework to do all the above, so read on to familiarize yourself with the essential features and take a look at what’s coming soon.

1) User-friendly and intuitive

Developing trading algorithms from scratch is a complex task. We want to make everyone’s life easier by taking care of all the infrastructure and letting people focus on the logic of their strategies. That’s why we put a lot of emphasis on a user-friendly experience. We believe that creating a strategy from start to finish should be very intuitive and easy.

2) Connect at any time from any device

No one wants to install a desktop app on their computer anymore. In the case of Signals, it wouldn’t even make sense, since you can’t run big data computations locally. That’s why we’ve partnered with Foxconn’s data center SafeDX and created an ideal cloud solution. This means you can connect to your strategies at any time and from any device, then work on them from anywhere. Now, users can easily access terabytes of data to use in their trading strategies.

3) Sharing Indicators

Creating and sharing indicators has never been easier. Thanks to our infrastructure and Indicators Marketplace, users will be able to collaborate and take advantage of each other’s work. In the code editor, you can already select pre-built indicators and use them in your strategies in just a few clicks, it’s as easy as that! We are also working on adding more indicators and giving users the ability to share their custom work, so keep your eyes on the updates!

4) Backtesting tool

Try out your ideas before risking any capital, by using our free backtesting tool. Confirm or debunk what you’ve written in the Code Editor and see how strategies perform using historical data. We will give you all the relevant metrics, such as maximal drawdown, risk/reward ratio and more, to let you decide whether it’s good enough to be deployed. Crafted a profitable strategy? Let it consume real-time data and start producing trading signals!

5) Single & Multi Market Strategies

Signals Framework will give users the ability to create either Single Market Strategies or Multi Market Strategies. The first is a strategy which follows only one trading pair, like ETH/BTC. The second, as the name suggests, is able to follow multiple trading pairs at once. Not only does this tend to trigger more trading signals, it also gives you the chance to select only the strongest ones, leading to more profit! Single Market Strategies are available to create right now, so visit the Code Editor to start building.

6) Work with any data stream

Signals Framework is flexible enough for traders to create strategies and combine them with any type of data stream — this has been our goal since we first began designing it. We are now ready for terabytes of data from exchanges, and for implementing direct feeds from Twitter, media sentiment analysis, social sentiment analysis, and the ability to create your own indicators from any data type.
