Mizar | How to choose a cryptocurrency exchange?

Mizar — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 19:37:46 GMT

Finding the perfect cryptocurrency exchange for your needs

Mizar branded banner titled How to choose a cryptocurrency exchange?

“Fortune favors the brave” Matt Damon said in the now infamous crypto.com superbowl advert that seemed to beckon forth the bear market.

Whilst tempting fate and tanking the markets the reality was that yes Crypto.com customers were brave, they were facing the crushing hardship of paying 0.4% maker and taker fees.*

Whilst the mainstream trader can be convinced to sign up to an exchange by an admittedly pretty cool advert, the type of trader that is going to be deploying DCA bots on Mizar is going to need to get a more detailed look at their chosen exchange.

You’ll want to asses

Function: Is the exchange compatible with the Mizar services you want to use?
Fees: What are the trading and transaction fees?
Security: How safe is the exchange?
Liquidity: What is the liquidity of the exchange?
Service: How is the customer service?

Function

Is it integrated with Mizar?

If you are reading this I’m guessing you at least have a passing interest in Mizar.

Whilst new exchanges and features are being added daily it’s probably worthwhile ensuring that your current exchange is compatible with the Mizar services that you want to use.

For example, if you are in the market for a great DCA bot (we have a few) then after signing up head to the marketplace.

Each bot listing will tell you not only its current 30-day performance but also the exchanges on which it can trade.

Overview of the Blockpartytrade bot type and performance on Mizar

If your current exchange is not listed your new one should be!

Fees

“No such thing as a free lunch” as Matt Damon might have once said, and this is again true when it comes to exchanges.

Whether it’s immediately apparent or not you are being charged for the privilege of having an exchange account.

Fees are how exchanges make money and they apply throughout their services. You’ll pay;

Trading Fees
Deposit / Withdrawal Fees
Interest / Borrowing / Liquidation Fees

And then there’s the myriad of fee reduction options;

Volume-based reductions (the more you trade the more you save)
Limit order reductions (basically a discount given to ensure you place your upcoming trades onto their order book).
Exchange token discounts (increasingly popular this allows exchanges to reward holders of exchange native tokens to be rewarded with discounts).

An excellent resource for comparing exchange fees is CoinTracker.io.

Their comparison table is updated regularly and gives a quick simple reference point to compare fees.

Fee Quicktake:

Binance & KuCoin offer the lowest taker fees at 0.1%
Gemini & Coinbase have the highest trading fees at 1%+

Security

Crypto wallet and the security of exchanges

Almost $2.6bn has been stolen from crypto exchanges since 2012 affecting 46 separate exchanges.

That’s pretty scary but since 2021 we have seen a big decrease with improvements to enterprise double storage solutions.

There is however still a lack of clarity on most exchanges' internal security processes.

With only one major exchange hack in 2022 (crypto.com) most exchanges offer enough security and size to give investors peace of mind but please always follow best practices and ensure that you only store funds for trading on your exchange keeping excess funds on a personal hardware wallet (e.g. Ledger or Trezor)

Liquidity

Think of liquidity as demand on an exchange.

Is there a demand to buy what you are selling on the other side of your exchange transaction?

Low liquidity means slippage, and slippage means lost profits.

Exchanges are ranked by their liquidity and you can stay up to date with this information updated live at coinmarketcap.com.

Service

Trader rating a cryptocurrency exchange’s customer service

Not every company in crypto has the kind of amazing customer service that Mizar and BPT offer.

Live agents are few and far between so I’d suggest ensuring you are minimizing potential problems prior to encountering them.

Luckily whilst most exchanges don’t offer live support they generally do provide a bank of tutorials and guides for all features.

I’d suggest working through these tutorials to find the exchange that feels most natural and logical to use.

If you did want some feedback on support issues a quick google search will give you some insight (spoiler alert most aren’t great) and there’s a good deep dive of support various exchange support experiences in this 2021 Laptop Mag article.

Conclusion

The reality is there is no ‘best’ exchange. There’s probably not even a ‘best exchange for you’, but there is a ‘best exchange for a given purpose’.

My recommendation would be to start with an idea of what it is you wish to do.

If for example, this is using Mizar to run a DCA bot on a 6 figure account then I would say you need to identify an exchange that is:

Compatible with your chosen bot on Mizar
Has good fees or at least a mechanism (token holding etc. to reduce fees) as your volume will be large.
Is secure so that you can be confident leaving your six-figure balance in their custody.

I think most major exchanges will be able to offer you this. If service is important to you create an account with exchanges and test their service by making inquiries. You’ll soon discover who’s responsive and able to meet your needs.

Lastly, this is crypto. You don’t need just one exchange and that exchange is probably not for life. These institutions are very new and are developing very quickly so expect dramatic improvements and be prepared to give them second chances.

Having several exchange accounts might serve you well and different exchanges for different purposes is probably the sensible way to go while we have no definitive market leader.

Happy trading.
*Joke. Crypto.com is actually pretty good, even if the timing of their advert wasn’t!

Mizar | DCA Bots: Maximum vs. Expected Investment

Mizar — Fri, 19 Aug 2022 15:19:13 GMT

What is the difference between the two and which one should you use?

Mizar branded banner titled DCA Bots Maximum vs.Expected Investment

Choosing the right amount of assets to invest, the size of your orders, and how many positions to name a few examples can be difficult choices to make when copy trading. However, with Mizar’s new investment form we aim to solve some of these issues for you. Before digging into it, let’s first dive into how a DCA bot typically works.

How does a DCA bot work?

As explained in our DCA bot review article a DCA Bot will:

Automatically buy and/or sell crypto at regular intervals to reduce the entry price of a position over time.
Mitigate volatility risk reproducing the DCA trading strategy, but without the needs of your inputs after setting up the Bot.
Once a Buy Order is opened, the bot will monitor the price and open a new Safety Order based on your settings.

When allocating assets to a DCA bot, risk and exposure to the market (e.g. open positions at the same time) are important parameters that have to be carefully considered. The traders will have to ask themselves the following questions:

What is the maximum investment?
What is the expected investment?

Let’s define the two parameters.

Maximum Investment

With Maximum Investment, it usually goes by the “worst-case scenario”. We call it the “worst case scenario”, because all the Safety Orders are open at a single time (The Maximum Investment can substantially differ from the Expected Investment as both are calculated in very different ways. The advantage of the Maximum Investment method is that you have a way to measure the maximum exposure the bot could bring.

Example: I set up a bot with 30 USDT as a base order, which can open 4 Safety orders at max. Let’s say I buy 30 USDT of BTC, and the price goes hardly against me, depending on the settings of the bot it might end up DCA’ing up to 150 USDT, i.e. adding on top 120 USDT (4 Safety orders). On the one hand, this reduces the average entry price, on the other hand, it’ll increase my exposure to the market since I now own $150 worth of BTC instead of $30!

Expected Investment

With Expected Investment, it usually goes by the “expected scenario”, i.e. what is probably going to happen. This means, based on historical information, how many Safety Orders do I actually expect to open at the same time?

Example: In normal scenarios (no crash or hard dips) my bot might open on average only one Safety Order. That means, if my base order was originally 30 USDT, I expect on average to open an extra Safety Order on top, i.e. having $60 worth of BTC in my pockets on average.

How Mizar helps its users to understand the Expected Investment

When copy-trading, Mizar will support you to understand what to expect from the DCA bot by calculating the Expected Investment based on the last 30 days' actual trader performance. This means Mizar developed a system capable of estimating the probability of your bot opening a Safety Order at different times based on actual historical statistics.

On Mizar you can invest in a strategy in two ways: inputting the Buy Order and max. amount of positions (advanced mode), or simply inserting your expected investment (basic mode).

Advanced mode

When you’re trading in Advance mode, you’ll be asked to insert the Buy Order Size and Max. n. of positions. The buy order size is the size of the first order to be opened when an open signal is triggered (eg: buy 0.001 BTC when the price gets to $23,000). To this, Safety Orders will be added on top depending on the DCA settings. The max. n. of positions tells me how many positions I can potentially have opened at the same time (for example, I can buy BTC and ETH, at the same time. This will be 2 different positions). Based on these parameters and the trader performance statistics, Mizar calculates what would have been the average investment (as the sum of all the Buy and Safety Orders sizes) you would have had if you would have invested over the last 30 days.

Mizar’s Dashboard showing the advanced mode of the investment form

Basic mode

When you invest in Basic Mode, you are simply asked to input the Expected Investment. Based on this information Mizar calculates back what Buy Order Size and Max. N. of Positions you would have needed to invest that expected amount.

Mizar’s Dashboard shows the basic mode of the investment form

What are the PROs & CONs of Expected Investment?

Mizar developed the Expected Investment calculation tool to support users in taking out as much of the legwork and guesswork as possible.

PROs

Up-to-date historical data
Zero guesswork, base your investment on actual data
No prior trading knowledge required

CONs

The Expected Investment is based on historical data and it will not represent in any way future results.

As the Expected Investment is based on historical data. There is no guarantee of future results being the same. Your investments are your responsibility and we at Mizar help you by providing every tool and statistic possible but do not consider any of this as financial advice.

Now that we have refreshed your mind about DCA Bots and how to apply the different investment forms. It will be up to your preferences and prior trading knowledge to choose the way that fits best for you. Join Mizar and start trading today! It’s never been easier and you can get started with just a few clicks.

Putting back the fun in fundamentals!

Mizar — Tue, 09 Aug 2022 10:39:09 GMT

There are many seemingly uphill battles in the world of trading, but arguably none more pressing than WHAT TO BUY & WHEN TO BUY IT.

Now you could rely on the old faithful “This guy gave me a hot tip….”, I mean that’s never ended badly, right?

OR you could, god forbid, DYOR.

What does that mean? Simply, Do Your Own Research.

Don’t worry this is not school, well actually it kind of is but research these papers correctly, and you could end up with “A” stack of profit instead of just an “A+”

An amazing starting point is….Fundamentals

Where To Start?

There are a couple of things to take into consideration when looking at the fundamentals of investing in Crypto:

1) What is the point? — Literally, what does this asset actually do, believe it or not, a vast majority of traders have not got a clue what the asset is, they may have thousands of dollars invested in it, even. It is not the end of the world but when looking long-term….this does matter.

2) When to invest? — Crypto is shrouded in a veil of “Only Up” mentality, therefore no matter how amazing the world-changing asset you are investing in maybe, everything has a “top” and you really don’t want to be parking your investment there when that top is in.

What else is there to consider?

YOU!

It is important to identify what kind of length of time you are willing to invest for — if you can only stomach less than 24 hours invested in one asset, then really this style of trading does not apply to you. If you are more mid to long-term — then this will be a perfect style of trading.

Where To Find Information?

Whitepapers/Roadmaps

For the more studious folks out there — you can literally just head to the assets websites and check out their roadmaps and white papers to see what they are planning and when. Just get it in your diary — although some are more ambitious than others, doing that extra bit of reading to find out whether it is a pipe dream or moonshot is worth it.

CryptoTwitter

It can sometimes be a little like the wild west in Crypto and the bar brawl setting in the saloon is often on Twitter. Although, a quick way to filter all the noise is to find out who the lead developers and CEOs of the projects are and simply follow them. More often than not, they end up getting too excited and letting something slip to tease a release.

CoinMarketCalendar

Coin Market Calendar gets a special mention as it is dedicated to Cryptocurrency specific updates and releases, all of which are and have to be submitted by the projects themselves. So more often than not, you will hear about the releases here (as a retail trader) first.

Crypto News Sites (CryptoPanic)

There are hundreds of sites out there dedicated to tracking Cryptocurrency fundamentals and news releases — a lot of which will recycle the same content, although it is hard to go wrong with Decrypt, Cointelegraph & CryptoPanic.

Trading Groups (BlockParty Trading)

If you can find a good and reliable trading group, more often than not they will be scouring the news sites and whitepapers for you and may even curate it into a nice little Telegram channel for your leisurely viewing…ahem…BlockParty Trading…ahem.

What To Look For?

Generally, there are some key items and buzzwords you want to be looking out for (This is only a snapshot!):

Main-Net Release/Upgrade- A Main-Net is the end product of a blockchain project which is accessible by the public to use. However, just like a Test-Net, a Main-Net can be altered whenever projects or open-source groups determine that the product requires updates and/or revisions. A successful launch of a Main-Net for any asset is very RARELY a bad thing.

HardFork — A hard fork is when nodes of the newest version of a blockchain no longer accept the older version(s) of the blockchain; which creates a permanent divergence from the previous version of the blockchain. These can be a little dubious at times so do some research into what the actual application is of the hard fork — but these can dramatically raise the price as per the Ethereum London Hardfork that drove the price up.

With a little research, you could have decided to invest in the time of the small square on the left-hand side.

Partnerships — This really can cover A LOT of things, so it is worthwhile digging deeper if you ever notice any new partnerships with assets, especially mainstream partners. For Example, Polygon partnered with Disney for their Accelerator program and subsequently, the price rose 80% during a very bearish period in the market.

This graph shows a price increase of 80% after Polygon joined Disney's Accelerator program.

Airdrop — The primary reason for organizing a crypto airdrop is to promote a blockchain startup, project, or service. By issuing tokens to users, the team can bootstrap its project and ensure a fair distribution of tokens among its community from day one. Moreover, recipients of these tokens are incentivized to increase awareness and help the project reach a broader audience once the token begins trading on an exchange.

The more interest surrounding the token, the more likely it will rise in price. Free Money! Who doesn’t like free money, but aside from the advantage of receiving this airdrop if you are holding the token, there is usually indeed the benefit of the price increases too as everyone is doing the same!

DCA + Fundamentals = Match Made In Heaven

Ultimately, these two were made for each other — One is isolating strong fundamentals or the new addition of fundamentals to an asset that is going to heavily weigh the increase in price (eventually) in your favour.

The others give you a big Dollar Cost Averaging system to ensure you get a strong position regardless of hitting any speed bumps along the way.

Combined, it arguably ends up being the perfect system.

Sadly, you don’t just “stumble” across such systems in the trading world….that is, unless you are signed up to Mizar.com.

There is a huge range of flexibility to the DCA systems to allow you to optimize entries and average into amazing positions automatically without having to manually monitor these trades and assets.

Mizar | Copy Trading & The power of Algo-trading

Mizar — Wed, 03 Aug 2022 17:18:28 GMT

Starry night with a text that says “Copy Trading, The power of Algo-Trading” branded with a Mizar logo

Mizar aims to automate your crypto trading so that you can get back your time while reducing risk and improving portfolio performance. You can achieve this with the power of algorithmic trading. Algorithmic trading can be applied in many ways, but the most popular one is Copy Trading.

What is Copy Trading?

Simply put, Copy Trading is mirroring a trader’s buys & sells as they happen so that you can grow your portfolio without the need of devoting time or expertise to find the right trades. This means that any trader, regardless of experience level can take advantage and earn no matter market conditions.

For a Novice Trader or someone just getting into Crypto, Copy trading can help you grow your portfolio without the need to know the complexities of tokenomics or Technical Analysis.
For an experienced trader, it is a great investment opportunity for diversification, practicing risk management, and using the power of algo-trading to trade fast while opening positions to get the best price.

The advantages of Copy Trading aren’t just limited to trading like an expert or taking time away from your screen.

Mizar | How to measure the performance of a DCA Bot

Mizar — Fri, 22 Jul 2022 19:31:37 GMT

Another entry for our DCA Bot explainer series, by now you probably think that DCA bots are pretty bulletproof. Well, providing good capital management is used and trading with sensible strong/high market cap assets than they arguably are.

This is ofcourse not financial advice!

So why would you or would you not use a DCA bot well let's take a little look at how to measure the performance of a DCA bot.

The Basics

The usual approach to figuring out the performance of trading is:

Money In Trade +/- Profit/Loss = Performance

Pretty straightforward.

DCA bots work very differently as there is capital not in the trade(s) that is used (or may never be used) that has to be taken into account — this is if you don’t want to give yourself false hope and potentially lead to overexposure.

In order to figure this out….

You will need to first understand how much capital you are going to allocate to it to the DCA Bot Strategy- this needs to include not only the capital being actively used consistently in 80%-90% of the trades but also the capital that will be required for the trades 10%-20% of the time. This is arguably the most important capital to ensure is available and allocated — as it is the funds that is likely to get you out of the trades that are “Caught at the top” or simply unlucky — we are not going to go too deep into capital exposure as all that info can be found in our Exposure Article.

Although to find out your expected allocation then this can be deduced a few ways:

Advised by Strategy Provider — When using a professional strategy created and made available by a trusted Strategy Provider (all can be found on the marketplace on Mizar) then few people will know it better than them — so listen to their advice, follow the channels, and reach out to them for support. This will help isolate a realistic allocation to base it on and a cushion if needed.

Safety Order Expectation, Active Trades & Volume Coefficient — If you know the approx. Safety Orders that trade can use. With the number of trades you are running and the Volume Coefficient Multiplier then you can also work out the total expected allocation — it can be a very speculative thought and you really have to have a good understanding

“Simulate” It On Mizar — Instead of risking getting the sums wrong then you can just make use of the “Simulate” function on the Bot Creation page in Mizar. Simply set up the bot to your desired settings and you can quickly see the allocation required per position along with the deviation %.

Summarising The Information

With DCA you are looking more at capital efficiency over performance so the simple formula is:

Total Bot Allocation + Profit (We are in DCA here so there should be no losses!) = Performance

Simple, just a bit more legwork and consideration to get there.

Bending The Rules

There are a couple of exceptions to the rule as you may be very liquid in other strategies therefore not requiring allocation all in the DCA strategy as at any point this capital in other strategies can be called upon. This is why it is always valuable to run varying strategies to diversify capital and resources safely — and it will also make your performance and capital efficiency way more awesome!

Mizar | Whitelist Important Update

Mizar — Fri, 15 Jul 2022 15:20:19 GMT

First and foremost, we’d like to thank everyone for their continued support throughout the process of the Whitelist Campaigns! During the campaigns, we’ve seen considerable growth and are thankful for everyone that has helped bring awareness to Mizar, our Smart Trading Platform, and the upcoming $MZR token, and for that we are grateful.

Over the past months, we’ve been contacting the winners through our Discord & have been sending out emails as well. Now it is time for us to move to the next stage, which would be closing out the verification process. We’ll give everyone a week until we close out this process, which means the deadline will be July 22th(Make sure you’ve submitted a C-Chain AVAX Address). If you haven’t done so already make sure to check your inbox. Feel free to contact us on Telegram or our support on Discord to verify the legitimacy of the message you are receiving.

The prizes for the Social Whitelist Campaign:
🥇Gold: 100 winners have a $200 allocation in the $MZR Public Sale!

🥈Silver: 100 winners will receive a $50 airdrop of $MZR

🥉Bronze: 100 winners will receive a $25 airdrop of $MZR
*Social Whitelist Campaign winners have been contacted through email.

The prizes for the EndUser Whitelist Campaign:

Top 100 in the trading competition have a $200 allocation in the $MZR Public Sale.
*Winners of the trading competition have been contacted through email.
100 winners of the beta-testers competition have a $200 allocation in the $MZR Public Sale.
*Winners of the beta-testers competition have been contacted on our Discord.

What are the next steps?

Mizar has partnered with one of the top IDO launchpads and will be announcing all the relevant details for participating in the Whitelist IDO when we are ready for launch.
*Do not send any capital to anyone who may be posing as Mizar, all allocations will be secured through our dedicated launch partners*

Once we announce the date we will provide a tutorial with detailed instructions on how to register for the IDO event so that you may participate in the Token Sale. You will have to register and KYC your account with the wallet address provided in the form.
The 100 Gold winners(along with the EndUser Whitelist Winners) will then have 24hrs to allocate capital to the Whitelist. If there are any remaining unallocated Tokens, the community whitelist will become open for Silver and Bronze winners to secure themselves tokens pre-TGE on an FCFS basis.
Once the Whitelist Raise is completed, the Public Sale of the token will start where you’ll get another opportunity to secure yourself $MZR tokens through our IDO partners.
After the completion of both the Whitelist and the Public Sale raises, Mizar will announce the date of TGE, and provide a detailed tutorial on how to claim your tokens upon launch. Tokens will have a 25% unlock upon TGE with the remaining tokens to be Vested over 3 months on a monthly basis.
Shortly after TGE, Airdrop winners from the Bronze and Silver Pools will receive a distribution of their tokens.

We’d like to once again thank everyone who participated!
