Exploring Automated Trading Solutions for dYdX API Traders

Other
1

Hello everyone,

We noticed that dYdX recently added support for API-key trading, and that opened up some exciting possibilities. Our team at Coinner has been running automated trading bots on other exchanges for quite some time, so we’re now thinking about building a version specifically tailored for dYdX.

With the recent trading leagues becoming more active, we also feel that giving retail users the ability to copy top traders could add a lot of value to the ecosystem.

We are considering adding full support for:

  • Copy Trading Bots – mirror trades from any on-chain address
  • Grid Trading Bots
  • DCA Bots
  • Builder Codes Integration – currently a small extra fee on filled orders, but we’re interested in exploring whether this could be replaced with the standard fee-share model instead (so no extra fee for users)
  • Fully Managed Cloud Platform – zero setup required, everything runs on our infrastructure

Before we move forward with development, we’d really like to understand the community’s interest level.

Would automated trading tools like these be useful for dYdX retail traders?
Any features you’d like to see or improvements you think would help?

If there’s strong interest, we’re ready to begin building and roll out a dedicated dYdX beta version soon.

Thank you,
The Coinner Team

Hi! I wonder if your grid bots could work as maker liquidity provider. Due to tight limit of open orders we decided that implementation not worth it. At some point on major market events you’ll need to split orders between stateful (to make sure order stays in the orderbook) and stateless (once stateful limit is reached).

We have implemented a telegram app for pairs trading. it performs take profit actions on a pair of positions based on the net profit of the two positions. It works well with the existing API.
