Exclusively trading crypto currencies as of 2017, part time dabbling since 2015. I have traded on multiple exchanges over the years: Coinbase and Coinbase Pro, KuCoin, Kraken, Bitstamp, Binance, LedgerX, and Changelly. I was one of the highest volume traders on KuCoin in 2022 and 2023 before US traders could not use it anymore. I have also used Decentralized Finance (DeFi) services such as Metamask, Nexo, and dabbled in many more over the years as new technologies have come out. I had previously developed some algorithms for trading stocks and futures, and have applied that knowledge to crypto currency trading but mainly for use as a decision support system, but am deeply interested in algorithmic execution possibilities. I am a trader who has a computer and information systems background, but I never liked coding much. I know how to code a bit, but am definitely trader first and coder second.
