The Forge Editor

When using Coygo Forge you’ll see a page split in two, with the Forge Editor on the left and Learn Sidebar sidebar on the right. The Forge Editor is a code editor where you will write your JavaScript code and includes features like code auto-completion and automatic error detection to assist your coding experience.

JavaScript Guides

On the right you’ll see the Learn Sidebar to help you learn how to use all of Coygo Forge’s features and provide code examples for each. First you’ll see the JavaScript Guides which has detailed information about all of the different things your JavaScript can do. Each capability has documentation, a code example anda “+ Add example to my code” button to add a working example to the your code in the Forge Editor.

What are the limitations of Coygo Forge and Coygo Bots?

Because Coygo Bots is built for automating day trading strategies it may not be the right choice for you depending on your trading needs.

Limited to trading on shorter intervals (5 minutes or less)

Coygo Bots is designed to excel at trading on second or millisecond intervals using real-time data. If you want to run a trading bot that operates on 1 hour or 1 day intervals Coygo Bots may not be the best solution for you.

Requires your computer to remain on while a Bot is running

Coygo Bots runs entirely on your machine and not our servers. This is for security reasons so that our servers never have access to your exchange accounts, as well as for performance reasons so that your trading bots can access fully real-time data directly from exchanges. Because of this your computer must remain on while Coygo Bots are running. If you want to run a trading bot for a week straight Coygo Bots may not be the best solution for you.

No margin trading support

Coygo operates within the United States and unfortunately here in the U.S. there is little to no legal and compliant support for margin trading with crypto. When major U.S. exchanges offer support for margin trading we will be happy to reconsider this.

Live paper trading, no backtesting support

Many trading bot platforms offer backtesting to test how a strategy would have performs over a previous span of time. Due to Coygo Bots and Coygo Terminal’s focus on real-time day trading strategies that operate on millisecond or second intervals, Coygo Bots offers simulated “paper trading” in real-time but not using historical data.
