Popular API solutions for crypto trading

Consolidating assets from different trading platforms into a single account is extremely convenient, allowing for investment portfolio management through a single trading terminal. This is made possible through API integration with exchanges and platforms, a feature that is now offered by practically all the top players in the digital asset market.

Let's take a look at two of the most popular solutions for API trading: the Spanish platform Atani and the Ukrainian platform QuanTower.

Atani

Atani is a trading terminal developed by a team from Madrid. The platform is designed for trading on cryptocurrency exchanges and is oriented towards swing traders and crypto investors first. In addition to the desktop version for Windows, macOS, and Linux, there is also a mobile app for Android and iOS.

You can register with just an email address, and KYC verification is not required. Atani offers classic functionality with a focus on technical analysis and a convenient way to manage investment portfolios. With the platform's multichannel notification system, users are notified when their cryptocurrency portfolios change via email, SMS, or phone call. Atani is a non-custodial service, meaning that it does not store investors' assets on its platform, providing protection from hacker attacks and fraudulent schemes.  

Atani trading opportunities

In addition to limit and market orders, the Atani platform also features Stop-Loss and Take-Profit orders, as well as an interchangeable order that allows placing two trades simultaneously. 

The order book on Atani is displayed in real-time with updates happening as frequently as every 100ms, according to the developers. 

The platform also supports connecting multiple accounts from the same exchange, which is convenient for traders who operate on several accounts at once.

The technical insights

Over 50 TradingView tools are integrated for technical analysis on Atani. There are also more than 80 technical indicators available, including moving averages (MA), Bollinger Bands, and others.

Tax accounting

One interesting feature of the Atani platform is the ability to generate tax reports based on cryptocurrency trading activity. These reports are prepared automatically without any input from the trader. Atani's tax reports are compatible with standards in over 30 countries, including Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Germany, Spain, France, Austria, Switzerland, and the United States.

Crypto exchange support

The Atani terminal utilizes API keys to establish a link with cryptocurrency exchanges. Over 40 are supported, including Binance, OKX, Bitfinex, Huobi, Coinbase and Kraken.

Conclusion

Atani introduces an advanced swing trading platform. It is integrated with many crypto exchanges and supports 30+ blockchains. The benefits of this solution are an extensive set of tools for technical analysis (TA), a tax reporting module, and it is available for free.

QuanTower

QuanTower is a flexible trading platform that enables operations on the stock, forex, and cryptocurrency markets simultaneously. It provides a broad selection of trading and analytical tools, as well as algorithmic trading features. While it caters to a range of trading styles, QuanTower primarily targets swing traders. Additionally, users can utilize the History Player function to test their strategies.

This solution comes from a top-notch team of Ukrainian fintech developers from the city of Dnipro. They provide integration with dozens of exchanges and trading platforms via API.

Trading horizon

QuanTower's trading and analytical terminal, known as DOM Trader, allows users to track changes in order books, place orders, and monitor market conditions via charts and histograms. In addition to standard orders, the terminal also supports stop-loss and take-profit orders, as well as TIF orders such as GTD, GTC, IOC, FOK, and Day.

It offers advanced charting tools, and even the ability to overlay graphs, as in TradingView. Users are provided with a rich toolkit and capabilities for creating various types of charts and diagrams utilizing indicators (Kagi, Renko, Point & Figure, Line Break, Heiken-Ashi, Range Bars, etc.).

The QuickTrade panel helps you send orders directly from the chart window by employing multiple keyboard shortcuts.

The interface allows for customization. In addition to dragging and dropping, one can group panels, create templates, and save them. Connections between multiple panels are scaled to a single window.

In the trader's workspace, there are also information panels available. Account Info displays information about the account, balance, and connections. The ‘Crypto Balances' section provides information about linked crypto trading balances in USD. All of the trader's actions and connections are displayed in the event log (log files).

Analytical capabilities

Traders have access to various analytical tools:

• Cluster charts (footprints);
• Volume profiles for support/resistance levels identification;
• Strategy tester;
• Trade simulator (demo);
• Advanced statistics with time histogram building for trade volume analysis;
• The VWAP indicator and TPO Profile chart (Time Price Opportunity);
• A market heatmap;
• Trade records, and much more.

Algorithmic trading

QuanTower allows traders to launch algorithmic strategies by using their own scripts and automated patterns written in the C# programming language. The platform also offers the QuanTower Algo plug-in for Microsoft Visual Studio. After creating a strategy, traders can launch it in the terminal through the panel. In the panel, they can set the necessary parameters, such as account balance, simulation method, grid type, and commission size.

API-integrated crypto exchanges

QuanTower is integrated with the most famous cryptocurrency exchanges, such as Binance, Kraken, Huobi, OKX, HitBTC, Bybit, Bitfinex, BitMEX, Coinbase, Poloniex, Deribit, Crypto.com, and other trading platforms. For operations on stock exchanges and the Forex market, integration with almost 30 different brokers and data providers has been implemented.
