June 2019 update: Latest news
While everything’s been heating up on the cryptocurrency markets, people have been keen to learn more about trading, how to use the Signals platform and our development plans. Rather than respond to each individual request, we’ve decided to cover some of the most pressing topics in this blog post.
Where We Stand
On the surface, Signals is a clean, intuitive browser-based application which helps easily create, execute and share trading strategies. The main features live on Signals include Signals Framework, an all-in-one toolkit for creating trading models, backtesting with historical data, executing them using real-time data from crypto exchanges, and receiving trading signals. Our designers did an excellent job of shielding users from the system which powers it. The underlying infrastructure and data processing services makes a huge, complicated system specifically built to reliably process large data streams and perform intensive calculations on the fly. Needless to say, it took a lot of work to build, and it has advanced steadily since our Alpha was launched last year. The extent of its complexity was recently illustrated in a blog post by Viktor Borza, our Technical Director, offering a walk-through of the system architecture. If you want to know what drives Signals, you should definitely give it a read.
We recently shared news about the upcoming email and mobile notifications, which are currently in testing, while last month saw the release of Multi Market Strategies (MMS). These allow you to track a variety of asset pairings and react to each market simultaneously. You can read more about MMS here. We are also constantly implementing infrastructural & backend upgrades, of which our biggest achievement so far is Signals’ ability to handle any data stream, granting unlimited possibilities in strategy design. For more information about our constantly evolving framework, please see the Framework Documentation.
The Road Ahead
The team at Signals is dedicated to delivering features, including a social feature which will give you the ability to share your strategies with others via Strategies Marketplace, as well as to share indicators via Indicators Marketplace, leading to an endless range of building blocks created by users with programming or data science skills.
Our eagerly awaited live trading feature is still in the works, too, providing automated order execution on exchanges. Such a powerful tool naturally requires a lot of development and very thorough testing to ensure it’s robust and reliable enough to safely manage our traders’ funds. Bear with us, it’s going to be worth the wait!
Finally, those of you who are already using Signals Framework know that it is based on a paradigm which works with data streams. It was designed so that, in the same way that many of you are defining actions over data streams of historical data from crypto exchanges, you will be able to define actions over data streams from Twitter, GitHub repositories, online media and other unstructured data, to give your automation an edge. Delivering support for more crypto exchanges and alternative data sources is also our focus.
Securing additional funds
All of the above has been demanding but incredibly rewarding. While our ICO took place in the valley of the bear market, the funds we were able to raise have gotten us to where we are today, running this immense platform. In order to keep delivering all these new features, push to accelerate the process and extend our team, we are negotiating with multiple Venture Capital investors who are interested to partner with us on the journey. At this point, we cannot disclose any more information. We are confident that we will secure enough interest to ramp up the speed of the platform’s development. Thanks for supporting us.
