Full REST + WebSocket API — algo trading & bot trading on every funded crypto account
Every Velotrade account, from your first evaluation challenge to a fully funded account, includes full programmatic API access. Run algo strategies, bots, and automated systems with no extra fee and no approval process.
What you can build
The API covers the full execution stack. Place, modify, and cancel orders, stream live market data, and read real-time account metrics via WebSocket.
Algo trading engines
Rule-based EAs, systematic strategies, or fully autonomous execution systems. Written in any language.
Signal automation
Connect an external signal feed and route orders directly into your funded account on every trigger.
Real-time risk dashboards
Stream live equity, drawdown, and margin data via WebSocket to monitor account state from your own UI.
AI-assisted execution
Use machine learning models or AI outputs to drive order entry decisions. Treated the same as any other strategy.
Multi-account management
Orchestrate positions across multiple funded accounts from a single execution layer.
Quantitative strategies
Full systematic strategies with defined entry, exit, and sizing logic. No manual intervention required.
