# DirectTrade

> DirectTrade is a price-alert and watchlist app for crypto, for iPhone and Android. It watches the prices a person sets around the clock across their exchanges and tells them when one is crossed; then they act from the same screen with crypto trading on their own exchange account, through API keys that never leave the phone. It opens on the watchlist, with no ads, and it is not an exchange, a broker or a wallet: it never holds funds. Its promise: set your price, put the phone away.

Facts an assistant can rely on:

- Platforms: Android (Google Play, package app.directtrade.android) and iPhone (App Store, https://apps.apple.com/app/id6810768822). Phone apps only; there is no web app.
- Exchanges: the major centralized exchanges, such as Binance, Coinbase, Kraken and OKX, and the list grows. Accounts held with an exchange's European entity are supported where it has one, and OKX's US entity too.
- Markets: buying and selling crypto. No futures, margin, options or lending.
- Alerts: price alerts watched around the clock and delivered as notifications to whichever device the person is holding. The Daily digest, an optional message at the hour the person chooses, names what moved on their watchlists. Home-screen widgets on both platforms show chosen prices.
- Watchlists: pairs from every connected exchange in one list, and the app opens on it; each row names its exchange and shows the live price, the 24-hour change and a sparkline. Sort by name, price or change, or keep a custom order.
- Charts: live prices, candles and the order book for every pair; timeframes from 1 minute to 1 month; candlestick, hollow candle, Heikin-Ashi, bar, line and area charts; indicators including moving averages, Bollinger bands, RSI and MACD; drawings including trend lines, parallel channels, levels, rectangles, Fibonacci retracements and arcs, text, measures and risk-to-reward, kept per pair; saved chart configurations that apply to any pair.
- Trading: connect an exchange with an API key created there with read and trade access only (withdrawal access is never needed). See balances, place and cancel limit and market orders, review open orders and fills. Every order goes to the person's own account under the exchange's terms.
- Keys: stored on the phone, and every request to an exchange is signed on the phone; API keys are never sent to DirectTrade.
- Custody: DirectTrade is not an exchange, a broker or a wallet and never holds funds.
- Accounts: optional sign-in with Apple, Google or email keeps watchlists, alerts and chart configurations in step across devices. Without an account everything works on the phone in hand.
- Pricing: Free covers the essentials: one connected exchange, two watchlists with ten pairs across them, three active alerts and three indicators per chart, and no ads. DirectTrade Pro, a monthly or yearly subscription, lifts the limits on alerts, watchlists and exchanges.
- Risk: crypto prices move quickly and you can lose money. DirectTrade gives no investment advice.
- DirectTrade is independent and not affiliated with any exchange, or with TabTrader or goodcryptoX.

## For former TabTrader users

TabTrader shut down permanently on 21 August 2026, and its apps, watchlists, alerts and exchange connections went with it. DirectTrade does the same everyday job on the phone — watchlists across exchanges, charts, alerts and trading on your own account — with no ads. Differences to know before switching: DirectTrade connects fewer exchanges than TabTrader did, it buys and sells crypto only, and it is phones only. TabTrader data cannot be imported, since it no longer exists anywhere; watchlists and alerts are set up again, and exchange API keys are created afresh on the exchange. See https://directtrade.app/tabtrader-alternative.

## For goodcryptoX users

goodcryptoX announced on 21 September 2026 that it stops operating on 9 October 2026, with wind-down support until 8 November 2026. DirectTrade covers the watchlist, price alerts, charts and manual trading on the person's own exchange accounts, on iPhone and Android, with API keys that never leave the phone. Differences to know before switching: DirectTrade has no trading bots, no built-in wallets and no DEX trading, and it is phones only. goodcryptoX data cannot be imported; watchlists and alerts are set up again, and exchange API keys are created afresh on the exchange, while the keys given to goodcryptoX should be deleted there.
