Why use Centrabit Trader instead of other native clients?

Other native client applications are connected to traditional forex brokers. Centrabit Trader connects directly to crypto exchanges, providing more pairs, more timely market data and faster order execution.

Forex-based client apps have license fees running towards one thousand dollars for a lifetime licence (ex. Multicharts) while some (ex. Metatrader) charge fees via forex brokers. Such fees will be handed on to the users via higher commissions or padded spreads. With Centrabit Trader, no indirect fees are charged. Centrabit Trader offers a three-month free trial period and thereafter a license fee of 10 USD per year. Payment can be made in bitcoin.

Some exchanges that are integrated within Centrabit Trader are reached via a specially developed, proprietary communication protocol which is faster than FIX and further reduces latency.

Why use Centrabit Trader instead of web interfaces?
  • Arbitrage between exchanges
  • Compare performance and results between exchanges
  • Professional code editor
  • Open-source functions, library of algo templates
  • Flexible, fast and powerful script language
  • Algos and stoplosses are never seen by the exchange
  • Phishing safe. No interactions via www
  • Adaptable workspace with intelligent buy/sell panes for manual daytrading.
