Looks good! I'd maybe use fewer smilies though

Good point too many smiles. I just wrote an article about this as well actually https://medium.com/@l.korganas/founder-style-developer-outre...

Congrats on the launch!

I've shared with our CTO - he really liked your public roadmap :)

That's very kind of you! We have enabled voting so he can request on his / her favourite features and we constantly add new ideas!

We currently test rules manually and post results here: https://help.coinrule.com/en/collections/2700051-template-ru... and also in our community on telegram. The automated backtesting is coming later this year - correctly capturing for slippage is tough; we will be using historical order book data provided by Kaiko to make this as realistic as possible though

Thanks for letting us know, I will look into it!

Great point! We are working on this integration this sprint and will have it on staging by end of day tomorrow. Hoping to deploy next week! :)

Good question - I'll jump in for Gab as its his mum's birthday today :)

With fixed fee pricing we are seen by regulators as a Software provider rather than a trading platform. The other point is that user funds sit on the exchanges and we have no withdrawal rights for greater account safety, so it's easier for us to just charge a fixed fee.

Is this a well established rule? I had a few startup ideas related to fintech, and this would be a very interesting change in the value proposition.

Hm not sure how well established as a rule this is - we got this advice from a fintech-proficient lawyer though

We are big fans of Alpaca, it's great! Will probably use it when we expand to stocks as well.

You can create your own 'bundles' of coins and rebalance them using Coinrule. Some of our template strategies have been backtested (see here for a few of them: https://help.coinrule.com/en/collections/2700051-template-ru...).

That said, we are also going to add other asset classes in the future and this will allow users to get in and out of ETFs easily.

I would argue that the efficient market hypothesis is problematic at best and I also disagree with the characterization of our users as 'dumb money'. We are in fact quite lucky to have some very smart users with us. There are many ways you can use Coinrule, not all of them must be entirely short-term oriented!

That said, it's absolutely your good right to disagree with our value proposition.

"I would argue that the efficient market hypothesis is problematic "

It is well established by research. It is has a good theoretical foundation. It is problematic for this business, true.

Thanks! :) Why did you guys stop?

In the beginning we were making 8-12% a month, just arbitraging derivatives so very low risk (except platform risk etc). But after a few months it started shrinking, and shrank down to 2-3%. Still very good for a traditional fund when annualised, but we only managed a few million from friends and family so it didn't really make sense for us financially any more.
