Development Update — May 17, 2018

The latest development updates from the Taylor team

Although sometimes we seem a bit quiet, our awesome team is working hard to build and improve our products looking to make a solid release.

Take a look at the latest updates:

• We finished the new design of our website, which now focuses on the company and the products we are building. The current one focus on the token sale. The implementation will start next week.
• We redesigned the whole exchange credentials setup in the app. We also made some experiments trying to find out the best approach. Finally, we ended with a solution that will make the setup even easier and safer.
• We are making slight changes to the mobile app design (typography, alignments, etc.) to make it more readable and accessible on all devices.
• Since we are not a company of a single app, we decided to design a brand new logo for our Trading Assistant app. It’s really cool! You can check it on the linked post.
• We hired two new developers to work full-time on our core products in addition to 1 part-time freelancer to help us in some adjacent systems. We are still interviewing a couple of candidates to fill the last position, which we expect to happen in a few days.
• We built a new library/package which will help us connect with many exchanges in a standardized way. It’s now easier to integrate new exchanges into our product suite; Bittrex, Poloniex, and Binance integrations are already incorporated into this package, and more exchanges are coming. This will also be our first open source contribution. We are very excited to contribute with new stuff!
• We started the refactoring of our candlestick constructor, which is an essential tool to generate signals.
• We did some refactoring on our internal backtest tool. Now it’s easier to backtest the new strategies we are building.
• Speaking of which, we now have a dedicated Technical Analyst working with us! His job is to create and validate new strategies to be implemented on our platform. We will soon introduce him to our community.
• We are also refactoring some parts of the mobile app in order to improve the overall performance and error reporting. We’ve achieved good results so far.
• We started the discussion about some improvements on our order monitor bot to better communicate with exchanges’ API limits. The new approach will drastically reduce the number of requests, which will also make our system work smoother.

We are also evolving with some other cool stuff that we expect to announce in a couple of weeks.
