What TonyTrade can do
This page answers: what features TonyTrade has, and which ones need an exchange key. Listed in five groups: watch, think, act, look back, get alerted.
Market data, scans, alerts and AI analysis need no trading key. You only need a key, with read and trade permissions only, when you want to place orders.
Market data and scans
No key needed
- Market data and charts: spot and USDT-M futures data from Binance, OKX and Bitget, candlestick charts, and common indicators (moving averages, Bollinger Bands, MACD, RSI, volume and more).
- Move alerts: wicks and sudden spikes or drops, with sound and push notifications. What wicks are: Wicks: what they are and how to handle them.
- Condition scanner: screen the whole market with several conditions across several timeframes. Presets include rejection from the upper band, pullback to the middle band and range breakout. Scans can run on a schedule and pass results straight to the AI.
- Market breadth and top lists: how many coins are up or down, and rankings by trading volume.
- News and sentiment markers: major news is marked on the timeline, so you can compare it with the market at the time.
Market data goes directly from your computer to the exchange. If your network can't reach an exchange, you can enter your own proxy in the app. See the FAQ.
Chat with the AI
- "What's the structure on BTC right now?": the AI reads candles and indicators on several timeframes, answers in plain words, and says which data it used.
- "Buy in three parts on a pullback to the middle band, no more than 500 USDT in total, stop below the lower band": the AI writes a plan and goes through it with you line by line.
- You pick the model: enter your own model API key, or connect a model on your computer. We don't relay your chats.
What fields a plan has and how it goes to the rule engine: How it works.
Strategies
A strategy is a template plus parameters. The AI helps you pick a template and fill in the parameters, and you confirm. Templates:
| Template | Fits this idea |
|---|---|
| DCA and scaled entries | Don't guess the bottom. Buy in parts by time or by level |
| Grid | Buy low and sell high while the market moves back and forth in a range |
| Bollinger mean reversion | Back to the middle band after moving away from it |
| Bollinger breakout | A break on rising volume after the bands narrow |
| Moving-average trend following | Ride the trend, exit on a break below the average |
| Wick reversal | The bounce after a sudden drop or spike |
| Trailing stop, scaled take-profit | Can be added to any template |
Each strategy can run three ways:
- Backtest: run it on historical data to see how these rules would have placed orders. The past doesn't predict the future.
- Paper trading: real market data, fake money. Records and reconciliation work the same as live.
- Live: real orders with your key, bound by the limits in the rule engine.
Execution and follow-up
Needs a key with read + trade permissions
- Spot and USDT-M futures: market, limit, stop-loss, take-profit and conditional orders. Per-exchange details: Exchanges and markets.
- Each time a position opens, its stop is placed on the exchange. No stop, no position. See Why stop-losses should sit on the exchange.
- AI follow-up: at the interval you set, it reviews positions and suggests adding, reducing, closing or moving the stop up, with reasons. Within your limits it runs automatically. Outside, it waits for you.
- Every action is logged: when, why, which orders went out, and how the exchange replied.
- Stop-all button: stops all strategies, with the option to close positions and cancel orders too.
Keys need read and trade only, never withdrawals. See API key setup.
Accounts and review
- Balances, positions and open orders from all three exchanges in one place.
- Daily and weekly summaries: profit and loss, fees, which strategies are active, and where you broke your own rules.
- Look back at every trade by time: the plan at the time, the AI's reasons, the rule check result, the exchange's reply.
- Export your trade history.
These records are stored only on your own computer. See Privacy.
Alerts
- Desktop notifications, phone push notifications, and a Telegram bot.
- You get an alert when a stop triggers, the daily loss limit is hit, a strategy is stopped, or the exchange connection drops.
- Actions beyond what you allowed, waiting for your confirmation, are also pushed to your phone.
How the computer and phone split the work
The desktop app runs strategies. Your phone connects to TonyTrade on your own computer: see positions, get alerts, confirm actions, press stop-all. Phone systems stop background apps, so strategies that watch the market all the time stay on the computer. If the computer is off, open positions still have their stops on the exchange.
