Bitfinex
Crypto spot trading by hand, with live prices and your balances.
Trading on margin can lose you more than you put in. Past results, including backtests, do not predict future results. Cloud9Trader provides tools and education, not financial advice. Read the full risk warning.
Bitfinex prices stream into Cloud9Trader’s charts and price history all the time. Connect your own Bitfinex account to see your balances and positions and to place orders from the trade ticket.
What you can do
Section titled “What you can do”- Prices and charts for Bitfinex pairs.
- Manual orders from the trade ticket: market, limit and stop-limit, on your exchange wallet.
- Account view: balances, positions, open orders and fills.
Algorithm sessions cannot trade on Bitfinex yet. You can backtest on Bitfinex prices, and run sessions on the demo account, which uses Bitfinex prices.
Connect
Section titled “Connect”- In your Bitfinex account, create an API key. Give it permission to read your account and to create and cancel orders. Do not give it withdrawal permission.
- In Cloud9Trader, open Exchange API Keys from the user menu, paste the API Key and Secret into Bitfinex’s row and click Save.
Bitfinex has no practice account. Orders you place are real. Try the same trades on the demo account first.
Limits

- When you sell, the quantity is in the currency you are selling, for example BTC in BTC/USD.
- One Bitfinex connection per account.
