Crypto Trade Router

What is the crypto trade router?

Currently on exchanges you have to trade an alt coin against a base coin. For example, you can trade TRX against a base of BTC, or ETH.

The Problem:

What happens if you want to trade two alt coins against each other?

For example: What if you're holding trade coin A, big news comes out, and you want to quickly buy coin B instead? This is a scenario that happens frequently for crypto day traders.

Currently you would have to:

1. Find what base coins coin A trades against
2. Find what base coins coin B trades against
3. Find a match, choose one of them to use
4. Sell coin A for a base coin manually
5. Buy coin B for a base Coin

This process is horribly inefficient for a number of reasons!

1. Time: By the time you find a connection, sell a coin, and buy the next one, the prices may have changed. Especially if news came out.
2. Efficiency: What if there are many possible base coins? For example, NEO and LTC both trade against BTC, ETH, BNB, and USDT. Each one has different prices and amounts you can trade! How do you determine the best route?

The Solution:

Crypto Trade Router attempts to solve these problems!

Crypto trade router:

1. Allows you to select any alt coin
2. Maps out any other alt coin it can be connected to
3. If there are multiple baseCoins they can both trade against, uses smartRouting to choose the best route to trade (based on price and liquidity).

Using the trade router, you can choose from all base coins
Or select "smart routing" and let it choose the best one

Makes relevant information accessible at a glance:
Last price of both coins in USD and Base
Purchase and sale information for coins in Base and USD

Provides feedback on the routing and outcome

It's designed to optimize for time and price on every crypto trade!

Currently the router is in BETA testing and integrated with binance accounts.

I always welcome any help from contributors and program feedback!

Going from beta to a reliable trading product will still take a lot of work and time, and may never happen without funding.
