This project is no longer being updated and most likely will not work without changes to the .interface.js code. For excellent hotkey options that work with a variety of crypto exchanges see sierrachart.com.

A google chrome extension that provides a fast and poweful hotkey order-entry system for the bitfinex.com, and ~~~exchange.coinbase.com~~~ www.gdax.com exchange trading sites. The extension allows you to easily place orders of a (hotkey adjustable) size at any (hotkey adjustable) offset in relation to the current best bid/offer. To configure your own hotkey preferences, there is an easy-to-use hotkey 'recording' interface.

Simply put: it provides a hotkey order entry layer to existing bitcoin exchange trading web sites, allowing you to quickly place and cancel orders with configurable hotkeys.

Features:

• Support for bitfinex and ~~~coinbase exchange~~~ gdax.

• Simple, sophisticated hotkey configuration.

• Display current OFFSET value.

• Simple

  • Keyboard event listeners are added to the exchange's trading page
    • Allows placing and canceling orders, adjusting lot size, and bid/offer offset modifier all with hotkeys. p
  • Adds a visible page element that displays the current OFFSET setting
    • Adjustable via hotkeys (as is lot size).

• Privacy First

Usage

• The plugin must be turned on through the configuration panel before it can be used
• The 'gist' is that you have two adjustable values intrisic to placing an order:
  • LOTSIZE is the size of the order to be placed.
  • OFFSET is the value used to determine how far from the best bid or best offer you want your order to be.
• Use hotkeys to change LOTSIZE and OFFSET value.
• By default buy keys are on the left hand home row and sell keys are on the right hand home row.
• Hotkeys can be easily changed through the plugin configuration panel.

Development

Pull requests welcome. Use standard for linting.

Adding other exchanges.

1. Use the interface.template.js file to implement the site specific methods.
2. Add a require for the new interface file in interfaces/index.js ( this will eventually be automated as a proper module loader should be. )

Developer Install

• Clone the repo to your machine.
• Add plugin to chrome extensions as an unpacked extension.
• Devel

jackbenimble's Issues

Extension does not load in some cases

Currently there are a few edge cases where the extension does not properly load. It mostly has to do with the way you load the exchange site.

The current workaround is just to refresh/reload the page, however a more permanent fix would be desirable.

This seems to be directly related to the SPA routing, and something like an eventlistener that fires on changes to the browsers url path could be a proper fix.

Cancel orders should only apply to the current pair

Currently cancel buttons will cancel orders for any pairs, rather than only the one being viewed.

Originally there was only 1 pair to trade on these exchanges so this was not an issue.

Add configuration for lotsize and offset.

Some users may want to use different lotsize or offset values and there is currently no way to use anything but the defaults.

Settings should not save across sites

Currently any lotsize/offset changes made on one site will also propagate to any other sites. This is most likely not desirable and is easy enough to fix.

Basically we just need to store records for a given exchange independently.

It may also be desirable for each currency to have its own settings.

Add a Reset to Defaults option in settings.

Users should be able to reset the settings to default if desired.

Bfx should reload the plugin when the 'location' changes

Currently the plugin really requires a refresh of the page once you get to the desired trading page to work properly, partially due to the 'single page app' nature of the client. It should check for 'location' changes if it doesnt load at start - so the user doesnt have to reload the page once getting to his preferred end of the site.

Does this still work?

As it hasn't been updated in a while, I would assume it doesn't work anymore? I couldn't get it work. Let us know please.
