Coinbase Crypto Real Time Data

[sabankaradeniz]

Hello, I am trading on cryptocurrency in ninjatrader 8. With Coinbase, it is possible to access some cryptocurrency live data free of charge. However, only a few cryptocurrency live data are provided, is it possible to add live data in other cryptocurrencies?

Hi sabankaradeni, thanks for your post.

The Coinbase connection comes "As Is", we developed the connection adapter and it's up to Coinbase what is served over that connection.

Thanks for your interest, so is it similar to binance? Because the number of cryptocurrencies in coinbases is very low.

Ninjatrader is a great program. I get angry at myself for not discovering to date. Cryptocurrency trading can do a lot of good things. Unfortunately, the problems about live data prevent us.

Hi sabankaradeniz, thanks for your reply.

I have not looked over what cryptocurrencies that Coinbase offers. Everything they offer via their website you should be able to pull up in NinjaTrader with the Coinbase connection.

The ninjatrader connection is missing several cryptos that are available directly on coinbase and/or coinbase pro (formerly GDAX).

You can see the list of supported cryptos here:

https://help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/getting-started/general-crypto-education/supported-cryptocurrencies.html

Coinbase Pro offers in the U.S.:

ALGO

ATOM

BAT

BTC

BCH

CVC

DAI

DASH

DNT

EOS

ETH

ETC

GNT

KNC

LINK

LOOM

LTC

MANA

OXT

REP

USDC

XLM

XRP

XTZ

ZEC

ZRX

Ninjatrader does not appear to support several of these. I can't imagine that it would be too difficult to add support for these with the framework already in place

Unfortunately, most of the cryptocurrencies listed here do not appear in the ninja trader either. Maybe a few.

[sabankaradeniz]

All coins in coinbases are included in the data and if trading is possible on coinbase, we have a really good reason to buy the Ninjatrader program.

Hello Kian, thanks for your post.

We do use the Coinbase Pro API type for the CoinBase connection in NinjaTrader. The CoinBase connection is for analysis only, no live order execution can be done with the connection. You can backtest automated strategies written in NinjaScript, but they can not be deployed on your CoinBase account.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.

Hi Chris, Can we deploy automated strategies with coinbase pro? or are you saying that it is not currently possible to use automation on crypto?

[NinjaTrader_ChrisL]

Hello tmuto, thanks for your post.

You may enable an automated strategy on the Sim101 account while using the Coinbase connection. There's not a way to trade real bitcoin though.

Best regards.

Hi, I'm trying to add ADAUSD, from Coinbase/GDAX, but I can't, I get this error message:

The "Master instrument" field for cryptocurrency instruments can only contain the cryptocurrency code of the 2 supported cryptocurrencies being used

What do I have to do to add ADAUSD to my instruments? Why can't you update the instruments directly from the tools option?

When will you add BINANCE to connections?
