Part 8 introduces a simple API to get the exchange account balance. We also discuss common account security features offered by exchanges today.

Part 7 - Trade and Order History

We explain what is a trade in a terminology of an exchange and describe how to get historical trades and orders from an exchange using Whale's Secret ScriptApiLib.

With most exchanges, this action is straightforward, but for some reason it's a challenging task on Binance. We've wrote a dedicated tweet to explain that situation.

Blog post part 6 - Reconnecting strategies

In this post we discuss how to react to exchange service disruptions. This is a very important topic that differentiates professionals from people who are just playing with the idea of automatic trading.

How will your trading bot behave if there is a network connection problem? Suddenly, you get disconnected. What do you do? What if the connection is reestablished but you get disconnected in couple of seconds again?

Whale's Secret ScriptApiLib offers a solution in form of connection strategies. You can choose the strategy that is applied when a problem occurs and the selected strategy is then applied automatically. For example, you may define that the API request operation should block and wait without limit until the connection is available again. All subscriptions are automatically renewed, so you can keep consuming updates of market data as if nothing happened.

Check out the full post for more details!

Thanks, that's a good insight. So far we have hoped that people can very much use the free version to see for themselves. But I think you are right that it's not that easy - you don't want to try every library out there first before you make the decision. So I think we have to improve this as you suggest and provide some easy to digest comparison.

Order cancelling is discussed in part 5 of our algorithmic trading blog series. 

We explain the basics of order cancelling and point out some edge cases that it is better to be aware of.  We also demonstrate how to use Whale's Secret ScriptApiLib to list and cancel orders on Binance and KuCoin.

Enjoy!

Part 4 is out.

We explain basics of how placing orders on exchanges works and how their matching engines execute the placed orders.

We show examples of how to get information about fills (both partial and full) of your orders using Whale's Secret ScriptApiLib.

The risk management is certainly very important and we will talk about that in our series as well. We actually have direct support for this in our library. We call it trading strategy budget. When you connect to the exchange with our library, you can define budget that is applied to all orders on that connection. And the library will prevent you to place such an order that exceeds the budget. So if you have a serious balance on your account but only want to test your strategy with a small amount, you can. And if there is a bug in your code, it's fine, the budget feature will protect you.

In the ready-to-go bots we have among our samples, we allow for the configuration of the size of the trade relative to the initial budget. But we will cover that much more in the series.

In the 3rd part of our series, we explain the concept of orders in general, we talk about differences between limit and market orders, and we show samples how to place these orders on the Binance exchange.

Nice feature of our Whale's Secret ScriptApiLib library is that in order to make the samples work on KuCoin exchange, all that is needed is to change a single constant in the code. That's the whole point of our library - to have the same code for all exchanges.

Let us know what you think. There is much more to come, we barely scratched the surface so far, but explaining the basics is important for those who are just starting with trading automation.

Thank you everyone. We've managed to close the deal on this one. The position is closed now.

Sent you PM, thanks.

Hey everyone!

We're looking for someone to help us with marketing and sales of our software product. If you're good at coming up with creative ideas and love talking to people and selling, we want you on our team. No formal education in marketing is required.

The product is https://whalessecret.com which is a library in C# that provides unified API for .NET that simplifies automated trading on Binance and KuCoin. The emphasis of the library is on quality of implementation and robustness.

You will be responsible for:

• Developing and implementing creative marketing strategies.
• Identifying and reaching out to potential business partners (B2B).
• Conducting market research to understand customer needs and trends.
• Managing and optimizing online advertising campaigns.
• Gathering feedback from users to improve marketing efforts and product offerings.

We will communicate via Telegram.

We can offer a fixed hourly rate plus a percentage from sales, paid twice a month in BTC.

Please reply here or sent me a PM if you are interested.

In the second part of our series about algorithmic trading in C#, we connect the trading bot to Telegram chat room, so that we can be alerted about interesting developments on the market.

Updated with the two new features - Trading Strategy Budget and Bracketed Orders and two production ready trading bots - DCA and MomentumBreakout.

Updated with the two new features - Trading Strategy Budget and Bracketed Orders and two production ready trading bots - DCA and MomentumBreakout.

We have started a series of blog posts in which we will demonstrate how to write trading bots in C#. This is step-by-step tutorial for everyone who knows C# and knows some basics of trading.

In the first part of the series we connect to Binance exchange and we start downloading market data and calculate a simple RSI indicator from the received data.

We will follow up with connecting the bot to Telegram, creating orders, making more complex logic, measuring performance, etc.

All the samples use the Whale's Secret ScriptApiLib in the free mode, so you can reproduce everything completely for free.

The very first public version of Whale's Secret ScriptApiLib NuGet library has been just released! The library allows you to trade on Binance Spot and Kucoin Spot (more to come!) using .NET 9. The list of features include:

• Exchange market initialization allows you to obtain basic information about the exchange and its tradable symbol pairs.
• Order book, candlestick, and ticker subscriptions provide easy way to monitor market data and quickly react to changes.
• Subscription sets allow subscribing multiple symbol pairs at once, providing efficient access to market data for more complex strategies.
• Order creation and monitoring for creating market, limit, stop-loss, limit-profit, stop-limit, and take-profit types of orders and monitoring the progress of the orders once placed.
• Order cancellation including cancelling all orders on the connected exchange.
• Historical trades and orders data allow you to review your past trading activity on an exchange.
• Open orders feature lists currently active orders as well as possibility to be informed about any changes.
• Historical candlesticks data enable access to raw data behind OHLC charts.
• Exchange account information includes balances in user's wallets on the exchange with possibility to monitor updates.
• Order Request Builder provides easy way to build multiple orders while respecting restrictions imposed by exchange markets including rounding of amounts and prices.
• Time synchronization with exchange server times is important for your API requests to be accepted by exchanges.
• API request count optimization reduces the number of API requests the client sends to an exchange and thus prevents hitting the limits imposed by exchanges.

The library is free to use with size order restrictions. Paid license removes this restriction.
