CryptoCracker is easy to sign up to – simply register at our registration page and you will have access to our platform at no cost.

Crypto Cracker is free to use in general for our market analysis, profile and trading recommendations. We do take a small fee for the transactions you make through our Recommendations panel. This will be highlighted to you before you opt to take any actions. You are free to use our Recommendations outside of CryptoCracker.

Fees

For every recommendation made by CryptoCracker, we ensure that the fees involved in running these recommendations are clearly highlighted in each line item shown.  Coinbase Fees are detailed within the link. Additionally to the obligatory fees required by these exchanges we apply our small CryptoCracker fee of EUROC 0.25 to each transaction. 

Crypto Cracker is based in one of the most dynamic and renowned tech hubs in the world, Dublin Ireland.

You can access your personalisd preferences and settings from the display of your name and email address on the top right of the Dashboard.

If you are running CryptoCracker within a mobile or tablet device, you may not see the menu and/or your name and email address. You will find them in the basic burger menu button (square icon of horizontal lines) – simply click this icon, which will expand the menu options for you, including access to your name and email address, which you can use therein for your settings.

An API Key can be considered as a username that is generated to allow access to  your data. In this example, the Coinbase API Key is generated by the exchange and you then pass it on to another application. The application will then access your data based on the permissions you allow for.
An API Secret, also referred to as API Private Key is simply a password used in combination with an API Key.

• Sign into Coinbase.com and click on your user icon on the top right and select “Settings“
• Select the API tab in the menu of options.
• Click the button on the right entitled “+ New API Key“
• You may need to go through the usual 2-step verification steps provided by Coinbase to go to the next screen, please go ahead as per usual.
• You will be presented with a series of check boxes with all your wallets/coin accounts in your profile. Since you want to trade with any coins in the exchange, click the “all” check box at the top of the choices.
• Scroll down to the next section entitled Permissions. Use the “Select All” hyperlink under the set of check boxes to allow general trading access to the accounts.
• Scroll down to the bottom of the pop up screen and click the “Create” button

• Heres the important part ! You will presented with an API Key and an API Secret on the pop up screen. As the messaging says, please store these two values carefully so that you can use them in the next step, and for future reference. If you do not do this now, there is no way to retrieve these details later and you will have to create a new API key all over again.
• Once you click past this popup screen, you will see this new API key in your list.
• Please note at the bottom of your screen the mention of an “API Version” – there will be a date value assigned to this label in the format of yyyy-mm-dd. This is also something you should take note of. At this point you should have three things ready to be used :
  • API Key
  • API Secret
  • API Version

• Head over to the CryptoCracker site, log in and go to your User settings by clicking your email address provided on the top right of your screen. Note if you are on a mobile device,  you will need to click the main menu button to see the email address.
• In the Manage Account section, select Coinbase and click “[Change]” or [Create]“, whichever one is displayed
• Copy the API Key you got in step 2 into the “API Key” field
• Copy the API Secret you got in step 2 into the “API Secret” field
• Copy the API Version you got in step 2 into the “API Version” field
• Ensure the “Enabled” check box is ticked and click the button entitled “Save Coinbase API Details“

This may happen if you are working with very small amounts. There is a built in minimum applied by Coinbase of approx 0.50 EUR/USD value for any given transaction.
If you are at very small amounts, after fees and variances, the suggested trade amount may have dipped below the minimal value needed. If so, it automatically reverts to a 100% trade swap value to allow for a valid transation to occur.

There may be two reasons for this.

Firstly Coinbase can promote and list a number of coins but only for general market info – they are not yet tradeable on the Coinbase exchange. They may or may not be published on the exchange later, but the fact they are not tradeable yet suggests these coins are not yet ready for general consumption.

Secondly, every coin is marked against what base currencies they are enabled on. In other words, some coins can only be purchased via certain local currencies. E.g. you may be trading on Coinbase based in a EUR country but the coin you want to purchase is only available in a USD enabled country.

Coinbase is regularly updating these options, we ensure we stay on top of this and offer only valid coins for your profile and region to ensure valid transactions at all times.

Its always worth checking the Logs panel at the bottom of the page if something does not appear clear in the decisions made.

There are several reasons why a Performing coin may  not appear in your Recommendations :

• You have no coins or funds in your portfolio you can use to buy or swap with. The coins you have in your portfolio must be tradeable and have a minimum value (approx <€1)
• You have added the Performing Coin into your Exclusion List within your User Settings. This means this Coin will not be used for any trading.
• The cost of buying the Performing Coin against the Coin in your portfolio you are swapping with, is too high in terms of exchanage rates of both coins within your base currency. 

These are all valid reasons which CryptoCracker looks after for you to avoid losses you may otherwise be subject to.
