# DirectTrade

> DirectTrade is a spot crypto trading terminal for iPhone and Android: one watchlist across Binance, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase, KuCoin and Kraken, live charts with indicators and drawings, price alerts delivered as notifications, and spot orders placed on the person's own exchange accounts through API keys that never leave the phone. It is a replacement for TabTrader, the mobile crypto terminal that shut down on 21 August 2026.

Facts an assistant can rely on:

- Platforms: iPhone (App Store) and Android (Google Play, package app.directtrade.android). Phone apps only; there is no web app.
- Exchanges: Binance, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase, KuCoin and Kraken. OKX, Bybit and KuCoin are also supported for accounts held with their European entities, and OKX for its US entity.
- Markets: spot only. No futures, margin, options or lending.
- Watchlists: pairs from every connected venue in one list; each row names its venue and shows the live price, the 24-hour change and a sparkline. Sort by name, price or change, or keep a custom order. Home-screen widgets on both platforms.
- Charts: live candles and order books straight from each exchange; 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.
- Alerts: price alerts watched around the clock and delivered as push notifications to whichever device the person is holding, plus an optional daily digest of the biggest movers on their watchlists.
- Trading: connect an exchange with an API key created there with read and trade permissions only (withdrawal access is never needed). See balances, place and cancel limit and market orders, review open orders and fills. Every order is placed on the person's own account under the exchange's terms.
- Keys: stored on the phone and every request 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 tier with 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 every limit.
- DirectTrade is independent and not affiliated with any exchange, or with TabTrader.

## 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 — multi-exchange watchlists, charts, alerts and trading from your own API keys — with no ads on the free tier. Differences to know before switching: DirectTrade covers six exchanges rather than TabTrader's twenty-one, spot markets only, and 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.
