Coinigy is an excellent platform that gives you the possibility to aggregate all your wallets and exchange’s accounts into one interface by making use of the API keys of all the different exchanges. Basically Coinigy is a multi-exchange trading platform that creates a single view of all the major Bitcoin exchanges within one visually appealing dashboard.
Coinigy’s LayoutAt the top of the page on the left, you can find buttons that will allow you to access different features. Going left to right, you have:
– ‘Apps’: These are the Coinigy apps in a dropdown menu. Apps include SMS Alerts, NewsWire, and CryptoTicker, among others with more coming soon. Visit the apps folder in the Coinigy helpdesk for more information regarding the various apps.
– ‘Markets’: This button takes you right back to the markets homepage, leaving off on the last exchange and market you were looking at.
– ‘Alerts’: This page allows you to set alerts for your account. Alerts can be set to specify an exchange, market, and price, with the ability to add in custom notes to the alert. You will also find any active alerts you have on your account and a history of alerts set.
– ‘Accounts’: Here, you can find a list of all of your connected exchange accounts and what permissions Coinigy has enabled on those accounts. You can also find the ability to add new exchanges on the left, or add wallet addresses and/or third-party service integrations such as Slack.
– ‘Balances’: This page displays all of your coin balances across exchanges. On this page, you can also find the ability to ‘Sweep Dust’ a coin’s balance – that is, remove from view minute amounts of a coin that don’t meet an exchange’s minimum value to trade.
– ‘Orders’: Finally, on this page, users can find information regarding their orders here. Open orders are displayed along with your order history, and a short rundown of your account balances appears on the left. One also has the ability to place an order on this page.
On the left hand side of the main markets page, you can find an alphabetical list of all of the exchanges that Coinigy supports. Once you scroll and find a market to explore, a list of all of that specific exchange’s pairings will appear in the column directly to the right of the market list. Likewise, clicking the word ‘Balance’ at the top of this box will display your coin holdings.
The vertical bar of icons squeezed between the main market graph and market list is where users can find basic charting tools. These functions allow you to do things like draw specific lines, shapes and angles on your graph, and place wave patterns and ranges overtop charts for better personal analysis. After clicking an icon, some functions allow even further customizations of that tool.
Just above the graph on the markets homepage, you can find a row of tools and settings to completely customize your graphs.
Directly to the right of market graph, Coinigy displays what the orderbook currently looks like for your exchange and coin pairing. You can also find trade details like highs/ lows, bids/ asks, and volume. If you notice the tabs above the orderbook, you are currently on the ‘Data’ tab. The other tabs include ‘Trade’, ‘Alerts’, ‘Economy’ and ‘Notes’.
While still under the ‘Data’ you can find the order history on the right. This box shows the price trend of your current coin pairing and the most recent history of trades filled.
Coinigy also allows you to execute trades on all your connected exchanges, not only that it has full integration with Tradingview charts, and allows you to even set alerts and create your sell and buy prices visually on the chart.
Another interesting feature is arbitrage; it gives you a matrix overview of all exchanges with the best possible combination for the highest price difference. Arbitrage is the simultaneous purchase and sale of an asset to profit from a difference in the price. It is a trade that profits by exploiting the price differences of identical or similar financial instruments on different markets or in different forms. Arbitrage exists as a result of market inefficiencies and would therefore not exist if all markets were perfectly efficient.
Supported ExchangesThe list of supported exchanges is quite extensive and keeps growing, here is list of major exchanges supported: Binance, Bitcoin Exchange Thailand, Bitcoin Indonesia, Bitfinex, BitFlyer, Bithumb, BitMEX, Bitstamp, Bittrex, Bleutrade, BTC Markets, C-Cex, CEX.IO, Coincheck, Coinmate, Coinone, Coinsbank, Cryptopia, Exmo, Gatecoin, Gemini, Global Digital Asset Exchange, HitBTC, ItBit, Korbit, Kraken, KuCoin, LakeBTC, Liqui.io, Livecoin, MercadoBitcoin, OKCoin Futures, OKEX, Paymium, Poloniex, The Rock, Vaultoro, Virwox and Yobit.
On March 14, 2018 Coinigy announced that Binance trading integration has been experiencing issues with Coinigy IPs being banned. This has caused issues with placing trades and stop limits in Coinigy leading to many orders failing to go through. Originally, Binance had instituted a whitelist for Coinigy IPs that would allow its users to trade through the platform without issue. While this whitelist served its purpose well and Binance saw heavy volume come from Coinigy’s platform, they suddenly and without notice disabled this whitelist. As one might expect, this caused widespread issues for traders as mentioned above, causing the Coinigy platform to operate sub-optimally. Binance trading was officially removed from Coinigy but added back couple of months later, in August 2018.
