Coinbase Trading Bot, Without the Code

Coinbase is many people's first crypto account, and Coinbase Advanced Trade is where it offers real order types and an API. If your coins already live on Coinbase, automating there saves you moving funds anywhere else.

TradeFIQ connects to Coinbase Advanced Trade spot and Coinbase's futures API. Build your strategy without code, test it with paper money on live Coinbase prices, then let it trade on your own account.

What you can automate on Coinbase

• Spot or futures. Each Coinbase connection trades one market; add both if you use both.
• Indicator strategies without code. RSI, MACD, moving average crossovers, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, ADX, Supertrend, Ichimoku, Smart Money Concepts, candlestick patterns and more, combined with rules like "crosses above" or "is below".
• Your schedule. Every 15 minutes, hourly, daily at 9am or once a week, in your own timezone.
• Risk rules on every trade. Stop-loss, take-profit and trailing stops, set once in a risk profile and reused.
• A hard budget. Give an automation $200 of a $5,000 balance and it trades with $200. That's the most it can lose.

How to connect Coinbase to TradeFIQ

1. On Coinbase, go to Coinbase Developer Platform → API Keys → Create API key (Advanced Trade).
2. Give the key trading permission for the market you want (spot or futures). Leave withdrawals off.
3. In TradeFIQ, open Settings → Exchanges → Add exchange, choose Coinbase, pick spot or futures and paste the key and secret.
4. TradeFIQ checks the key with Coinbase straight away, so a typo shows up now rather than at your first trade.

Coinbase tips for automated trading

• Create the key on the Coinbase Developer Platform for Advanced Trade with View and Trade permissions. Transfer stays off.
• Coinbase quotes many pairs in USD and USDC rather than USDT. Pick the pair your balance is actually in.
• Start with a spot automation. Futures access on Coinbase depends on your region and account.

Why automate Coinbase with TradeFIQ

Most bots on Coinbase get one setting wrong in the same way: they can see the whole balance. TradeFIQ gives every automation its own capital budget, sizes trades from it, and closes a position before it can lose more than the budget allows. If the budget runs out, the automation stops and tells you why.

Changed your mind about a stop-loss while a trade is open? Edit the running trade's rules without closing the position. Not sure a strategy works yet? Run it with paper money on live prices or backtest it first, then switch the same automation to live.

Trading on more than one exchange? The same strategies work on all 9 we support, including Binance, Bybit, OKX, KuCoin and more. See all supported exchanges.
