Post From: Add CYNUSD to Bitcoin Data Services?

Thank you! Yes, It was the bid/ask bars, not the depth data that I had been looking at. CYN/USD: Actually, the reason I brought this up was I realized I could replicate OKCoin's Future's Index pretty closely (minus Huobi exchange) but two of the components are CYN markets and would need to be converted on-the-fly to USD in order to be merged with the other exchanges into a tick index. Also, I could use the live CYN/USD exchange rate to calculate position sizing and P/L in $US when trading on BTCChina or OKCoin's BTCCYN exchange. I don't think it matters where the exchange rate comes from, it just needs to be available from the same relay server that's providing the Bitcoin data. -------- I'd like to mention that Ward Systems Group, which makes the trading software I use (Neuroshell Trader,) is looking into adding a Bitcoin data feed. I wrote them quite a lengthy email describing the many advantages of writing a DTC client plug-in - which could use SC's relay server - for this purpose. It wouldn't solve the need for live-trading, but it's still a huge step forward. I think Rythmic, TeleTrader and the relay server are the only DTC server's the plug-in could potentially access at this time, but I tried to make a good case that a DTC client would provide not only high quality historical and live Bitcoin data but that it would also allow Ward's customer's access to a larger variety of data service options (specifically Sierra Engineering's data feeds,) and hopefully it would work as a pretty universal client when DTC servers become more common. Feel free to contact them if you'd like to help influence their decision to use DTC. If you tell them I (Scott Wright) suggested the contact, they'll know immediately what you're contacting them about. :-) Marge Sherald CEO/Salesperson/Support sales@wardsystems.com |
