Changelog
Released: February 23, 2021
This week the Cryptowatch team issued a large update, including the new Net Value Time Series (NVTS) Portfolio visualization, pasting tweets to charts, customizable line styles (for analysis tools), and much more.
Information in the accounts page has been reordered and given improved functionality, the Volume Profile indicator now displays its loading status, traders entering the Chat can check nickname availability, and, finally, the Alerts panel has an improved UI as well as market links.
The Net Value Time Series (NVTS) Alpha version has been released — this new tool visualizes your Portfolio value over time, signals your best & worst performing assets, and displays your portfolio value as an OHLC bar. At this time the NVTS is only compatible with your Kraken portfolio/holdings.
Read the new Guide to learn more about the My Portfolio NVTS.
Cryptowatch traders can now paste tweets to the Charts page.
To paste a tweet:
Copy the URL of the individual tweet you want to paste
Flip to your Cryptowatch Charts page
Use your paste hotkeys (CTRL + V on Windows, Command + V on Mac) to paste the tweet
The tweet will automatically paste to the correct time on the Chart’s x-axis, and can be repositioned by clicking the top of the tweet bubble and dragging.
Tweets with images/video will omit the media and paste the text only.
To remove a tweet, right-click it and select Remove this drawing (tweet).
Traders can now customize the line styles of analysis tools and indicators on the Charts page. To adjust line styles:
Open the Analysis menu
Select an analysis tool to customize
Flip to the Style tab
Click the “line” box next to the color options
There are 25 options for line styles: 5 graphic styles (eg. dotted lines) and 5 line thickness options for each.
Traders can use the new Price Percentage Oscillator (PPO) by accessing it in the Analysis menu. The Price Percentage Oscillator is similar to the MACD indicator, but draws on percentage data rather than raw price information. This results in a smoother, more normalized momentum indicator.
Re-ordered Password Change, Email Change and Username Change fields.
Added a Password Confirmation field.
Unverified users can change their email without contacting support.
Added a load status indication — the volume profile bars are now overlaid with load status, which fills the bars right-to-left as the process completes.
Traders entering the chat can now check nickname availability.
The options to
Save/Cancel/Deletean alert are stickied to the bottom of the alert panel. Clicking on an individual alert reveals these options.Alerts listed in the panel now have direct links to their respective markets.
Released: January 26, 2021
In our last release (Jan. 12, 2021) Cryptowatch added FTX.US markets for charting and analysis, and this week FTX.US markets are fully integrated for trading. Traders chatting in the trollbox now have the ability to mute individual users, just in case it comes to that.
Traders can now connect their FTX.US accounts to Cryptowatch via the exchange keys page. Doing so enables trading and portfolio tracking for over 30 FTX.US markets.
Why argue when you can just mute? Traders can now take the high road in style by opting to mute users they’re tired of hearing. Hovering your cursor over a message in chat reveals an in-line menu icon on the right-hand side. Clicking the icon reveals the option to mute. Muting a user only hides their messages from you — other traders using chat can still see their messages.
Bugs affecting some users have been squashed:
Bollinger Band cross above upper band alert triggers prematurely
Slow Chart when using Stock to Flow overlay
Unable to create a new account with desktop
Alert settings now displays exchange name alongside exchange icon and market
Released: January 12, 2021
This week Cryptowatch added FTX.US markets for charting and analysis, a new right-click context menu to the charting interface and a custom range selector for the Volume Profile indicator. The new right-click menu on the Charts page is where you’ll find the Remove Last Drawing function, as well as new Show/Hide Drawings and Remove Analysis actions.
FTX.US is a US-regulated version of the exchange, featuring USD spot markets for many high-volume cryptocurrencies (including BTC). Traders can now use Cryptowatch’s advanced charting interface to analyze and speculate on FTX.US markets.
We’ve added new functionality to the charting interface and moved pre-existing actions into new right-click context menus. Right clicking on a price chart now opens options to Remove Last Drawing action, as well as the new Show/Hide Drawings and Remove Analysis actions. Right-clicking on the y-axis opens the option to remove nearby alerts.
Traders can now specify an exact time-range to feed into both the Volume at Price (VAP) and Time at Price (TAP) Volume Profile Indicators (options for indicators are found in the Analysis menu).
The Visible option is the default, automatic range that calculates based on visible candles. Choosing Display locks the volume profile at its current range, allowing you to move the chart without recalculating. Finally, custom ranges can be selected by either using the Set on Chart drawing tool or by inputting the start and end date & time.
This week we’ve added a new indicator to the Analysis menu — Psychological Line. This tool measures the amount of time that a market was “up” over an adjustable number of periods. In the image below, the Psychological Line indicator is displayed alongside the BTC bull run beginning in November 2020.
Optimized traffic for background chats
“Filled” option for analysis tools moved to style tab
Released: December 15, 2020
This week we’ve released major updates to the Portfolio page, including a new holdings heat map and donut chart to help you better visualize your held assets. We’ve also updated the chat pop-out to allow room switching. Mobile users can now use a search bar at the top of any Cryptowatch page to quickly find assets and markets.
The Portfolio page’s pie chart has been replaced with an interactive heatmap and donut chart that display your multi-exchange holdings.
The donut chart (left) shows the total number of assets in your portfolio (across all connected exchanges), the total value denominated by your Portfolio currency, as well as the 24-hour percent change of your Portfolio as a whole. Hovering your mouse over an asset block highlights its fractional portion of the donut chart on the left.
Asset blocks in the heatmap are sized according to the amount you hold, update to the current price of the asset, and show the 24-hour percent change. The 24-hour percent change also informs the color of the asset block — shades of green denote gains, greys show no change, and shades of red show losses over the past 24 hours.
Clicking an asset block opens a market for the asset on the exchange the funds are held on.
We’ve added a room switcher to the popout chat box, allowing you to change rooms from within the popout. You can find the room switcher at the top of the popup, top-left corner.
The mobile version of Cryptowat.ch has been updated to include a search bar to the top panel. This search bar functions just like the search bar on the web app — mobile users can now find assets, markets and exchanges from any page on Cryptowatch.
Released: December 1, 2020
This week Cryptowatch made improvements further boosting its performance and frame rate, made Charts page settings persistent across devices, added multiple upgrades to Chat, and added the Chaikin Money Flow indicator to the analysis menu.
We’ve also added Vietnamese to our supported languages — see Switching languages in Guides.
Another big performance upgrade has improved Cryptowatch’s Charts page frame rate, particularly for 4K resolution monitors. The chart below shows the amount of users getting less than 30 fps on the Charts page, and visualizes the effect of our recent performance updates:
Now you can change your font size, enable sound notifications and include message timestamps in any room in the Trollbox. The Trollbox’s main room has been renamed to General, with an extra special Brainlet room added to the Chat as well. Room activity monitors are a little more helpful now as well.
Chart settings and Technical Analysis indicators now persist across devices. When you open Cryptowatch on another device, your TA indicators, overlays, chart settings, and some trading settings will remain intact. Chart settings include all settings in the Analysis, Chart Style and Drawing menus.

We’ve added a new indicator to the Analysis menu — Chaikin Money Flow. This indicator measures accumulation vs distribution (buying vs selling pressure, respectively). It looks at price relative to highs and lows over a lookback period, with volume varying the influence of each price point in the calculation.
Released: November 17, 2020
This week saw a very big release from the Cryptowatch team. This week the Cryptowatch team revamped our homepage design, enabled trading on FTX markets, added Uniswap V2 charts, added the new TRIX indicator, and made a series of improvements to the Portfolio, Trollbox, Alerts and Watchlist.
Our redesigned homepage features a new asset-tile view made up of the top 12 crypto assets by volume. Each asset tile contains the current price, 24 hour percent change in price, 24 hour volume and a right-to-left price sparkline. The tile’s background and sparkline are green (or your theme’s up-color) when the asset price is higher than it was 24 hours ago and red (or your down-color) when the price is lower.
Cryptowatch now features trading on FTX markets and FTX Portfolio integration. Traders can use Cryptowatch to submit trades to over 400 FTX markets and track their accounts alongside other major exchanges.
Traders can now watch and analyze real-time Uniswap V2 markets on both cryptowat.ch and Cryptowatch Desktop.
We’ve added the TRIX (Triple Exponential Average) indicator to the Analysis menu. This indicator is similar to a MACD, but with a smoother line less affected by varying price action. TRIX filters out market noise and tends to lead the trend rather than lag behind it.
Can now sort trade history by side (buy or sell)
New activity monitor bars in the trollbox
New infobot — type !price then the asset pair to pull price data. Eg.
!price BTCUSD
New Bollinger Bands TA Alerts.
Can now reorder your utility belt watchlist by: exchange, asset, or a completely custom order.
Released: November 3, 2020
This week the Cryptowatch team added chat rooms to the Trollbox, released a new chart overlay (VWMA), updated the trading form with a new leverage slider, improved the movement performance on the Charts page and updated our Terms & Conditions.
We’ve added new chatrooms to the Trollbox for the very first time this week. The new rooms are Politics and Bugs/Features, plus the catch-all Trollbox room.
The Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) overlay is a moving average line with more significance afforded to periods of higher trading volume. When trading volume increases, the VWMA approaches the price level. As trading volume decreases, the VWMA moves less radically.
The leverage selector in the trading form has been replaced with a new leverage slider. You can now click and drag the slider to select your preferred leverage amount when opening new positions.
Moving price charts by clicking and dragging has been changed to by-pixel, rather than by-candle, improving the feel and general performance. This is most noticeable when zoomed-in to only a few candles, but affects all zoom levels of the Charts view.
The gif below showcases the new by-pixel movement, but make sure to see for yourself on the Charts page.
Cryptowatch has updated its Terms & Conditions to reflect our new payment model and other recent changes to the platform. See the updated version here.
Released: October 20, 2020
This week Cryptowatch released a massive performance improvement, the Cryptowatch Desktop release, and two new indicators: Volume Profile Time at Price and Average Directional Movement Index Rating (ADXR).
Changes the Cryptowatch team made this week resulted in a massive improvement of the Charts page’s performance, reducing CPU use by 50%.
The Performance Throttle found in the Charts page settings menu now adjusts rendering and stream updates for the order book, live trades feed, and price chart.
This week saw the release of Cryptowatch Desktop, now available for all signed-in Cryptowatch users. The new native app is leaner on CPU resources and features new and time-tested market data tools. Download Desktop now to start making your own fully-customizable data dashboards. You can read the Cryptowatch Desktop Guide here.
You can read testimonials about Cryptowatch Desktop and more on our blog.
A new, more efficient version of Cryptowatch’s Volume Profile Indicator was released this week. The Volume Profile - Time at Price indicator differs from the Volume at Price indicator by measuring the length of time an asset’s value spends at observable price levels based on weighted averaging across each candle’s range. The Volume at Price indicator shows the traded volume broken up by actual buy vs. sell trade volume, at unique price levels.
The Time at Price calculation requires less computational power, making the Time at Price indicator a faster performer than Volume at Price, though TAP may not be deemed to be as accurate a representation of real market action.
Cryptowatch added another new indicator to the Analysis menu - the Average Directional Movement Index Rating (ADXR). The ADXR measures trend strength — larger values indicate greater strength in the current trend direction — and whether that trend is gaining or declining.
Released: October 6, 2020
This week Cryptowatch released performance improvements to the trade panel, Technical Analysis (TA) alerts panel, and the Asset Card view of the Markets page.
Updating Poloniex orders to include post-only status is fixed
Advanced options are always applied when using the Replace Order function
Fixed error preventing order placement on Coinbase Pro markets
Fixed instance where selecting EMA alerts caused interval to change
Fixed TA alerts issue preventing alerts when selecting 1 week (1W) periods with week start on Monday
Fixed real-time updates of market data on Asset Card view of the Markets page
Released: September 22, 2020
Cryptowatch released a pair of new analysis tools this week: Volume Profile overlay and Williams %R indicator. We’ve also included a new type of TA alert — EMA alerts. Kraken Terminal users will also notice a lean version of the Utility Belt is featured on the platform, which includes your watchlist and the new alerts tool.
The volume profile overlay was released for all signed-in Cryptowatch accounts this week. The volume profile overlay shows trading activity over the visible chart span, showing significant price levels directly on the chart. Volume levels are separated by buy and sell levels, indicated by the up & down colors of your selected theme.
With the crosshair tool selected (default tool), hover over any bar in the volume profile for a detailed readout in the top-left area of the price chart.
Also known as the Williams Percent Range, this momentum indicator shows overbought and oversold levels based on an asset’s price versus the high-low range over a given period. The default range for this indicator is 14 periods.
A new addition to the TA alerts type is our EMA (Exponential Moving Average) cross alert, accessed via the Alerts panel in the Utility Belt.
This alert type behaves similarly to the SMA alert: input the chart interval, the number of look-back periods, and the OHLC data point of the EMA. Then set the alert to be notified when the price crosses above or below the EMA line determined by those inputs.
If you’re viewing a chart with the EMA overlay, reference the chart interval and the look-back periods of the particular EMA line you want to be notified of to get the input information (found in the analysis menu).
Released: September 10, 2020
Clicking on the price chart to set the price in the order ticket now requires <Shift> key to be held down when clicking. This was added to prevent accidental click triggering this behavior.
Released: September 8, 2020
This week Cryptowatch launched its new pricing structure — Cryptowatch Credits. Instead of upgrading your subscription to unlock features, you can now pay for the features you want, on-demand. Credits can be earned by completing the Onboarding list, or bought with bitcoin or a credit card. All of the core functions of Cryptowatch — trading, portfolio, charts and chat — remain completely free.
A new overlay has also been added to the Analysis menu — Donchian channels. This overlay plots the high and low prices for an asset over a given period, and is useful for signalling trends and ranges for day traders.
Cryptowatch has moved away from subscriptions to a more flexible pricing model — Cryptowatch Credits. In this system, you keep a balance of Credits in your account and pay for features only as you require them. All of the core functions of Cryptowatch — trading, portfolio, charts and chat — remain completely free.
Accounts with open subscriptions had the cost of those subscriptions converted into a Credits balance upon release. You can pay for more Credits with bitcoin or credit card. Clients with a credit card attached to their account can opt into automatic refills when their Credits balance is low.
Credits are currently used to pay for SMS alerts, Rest- and Web Socket-API connectivity, and extensibility features like Zapier triggers.
Your Credits balance is always visible in the top-right of the screen, next to your account icon. Check out the Credits and Billing page to learn more.
The Market Data REST API page has been updated with new pricing information. Anonymous users are now allotted up to 10 credits worth of API requests via the REST API. Clients with billing information in their account can purchase credits to increase their limits.
Donchian Channels (a.k.a. Price Channels) is a new overlay in the Analysis menu that plots high and low prices over a determined period of time. The default period is 20 bars, which can be edited in the Inputs tab when Donchian Channels is selected. This overlay works well on all time periods (from 1 minute (1M) to 1 Week (1W). It does not factor the current bar into its calculation.
Released: August 25, 2020
Following Cryptowatch’s brand updates is a redesign of the interface itself. This week we released the Utility Belt — a persistent side bar that expands into popular tools like the Chat, Watchlist and Alerts systems (among others).
This redesign also includes an update to the top bar, including a new outboard Themes panel that, when set to the Standard theme, enables easy light/dark mode toggling.
The analysis menu has a new addition in the Least Squares Moving Average overlay. This moving average line projects forward, anticipating a future value, and generates trend signals at crossover points.
On top of all that, we’ve made some performance improvements to the Charts and Portfolio pages.
The Utility Belt let’s you see the tools you want when you want to, without cluttering the rest of the interface. The Utility Belt currently contains redesigned Watchlist, Alerts, Trollbox, CLI, Onboarding and Changelog panels, as well as a button to expand the Trading panel when on the Charts page.
In addition to the Utility, the redesign includes the following changes: a new “My Account” icon, Portfolio button location and icon, API Access moved to Account menu.
Part of Cryptowatch’s redesign includes an updated top bar, with new locations for the Portfolio and Theme buttons. When Cryptowatch is set to the Standard theme, the Theme button converts to a Light/Dark mode toggle switch.
The Least Squares Moving Average line calculates a least squares regression over ‘n’ bars and projects forward an anticipated current value. This tool generates signals for bullish and bearish trends when the price deviates from the line.
Orders to market bar on the Portfolio page: all orders on multiple pages are included in the bar
Logarithmic y-axis scale improved for precise, small value markets (eg. /BTC and /ETH markets)
Released: August 11, 2020
Cryptowatch has updated its branding, including a new logo (inspired by our classic “C”) and two new fonts, giving the site a fresh new look.
Included in this release is an announcement and early registration for Cryptowatch Desktop, the native Cryptowatch app that lets you customize a multi-chart layout (and more). Registered users can submit their email to be notified for the release of Cryptowatch Desktop.
We’ve also included a new tool in the analysis menu, the Linear Regression overlay. Linear Regression can help pinpoint entry and exit points, including stop loss levels.
In another update to our analysis toolset, you can now adjust the Overbought and Oversold levels for the RSI (Relative Strength Index).
Cryptowatch has updated its logo, reminiscent of our classic “C”, now composed of up & down bars that will match any theme applied from the Themes menu. We’ve also updated our themes menu with new light and dark modes and updated our standard theme. Additionally, Cryptowatch is sporting new font sets: DM Sans and Iosevka Custom.
Components of the trading panel (and more) have been updated as well with a fresh new look, as well as the menus for drawing tools. For a run-down of our branding changes see our twitter thread.
Go to the Desktop tab on Cryptowatch and enter your email to join our mailing list for the release of Cryptowatch Desktop. The new native app from Cryptowatch includes multi-chart capability and customizable layouts that you can build from scratch.
The Linear Regression overlay helps with channel-trading techniques. This overlay plots a High, Low, and Median line over a trend that can help you to determine entry and exit points, including where to place your stop loss. You can find the Linear Regression overlay in the Analysis menu on the Charts page.
The RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator now has further customization options, allowing you to adjust the levels it recognizes as overbought and oversold.
Released: July 28, 2020
Cryptowatch has launched its first TA (Technical Analysis) alert type — SMA price crosses. You can now have an alert trigger when an SMA line crosses above or below the current price.
We’ve also updated the trading panel. Now you can collapse (and expand) the conditional close section of the trading form. The Total field of the conditional close section is now directly editable, too.
In the Analysis menu, we’ve added the new Weighted Moving Average indicator (WMA). The WMA reacts faster to recent price changes than an Exponential or Simple moving average (EMA, SMA).
On the Correlations page, a graph of historical correlation changes is now in the background of each cell.
The alert triggers when the SMA line (programmed using the alert options) crosses above or below the current price. To learn more, check out our Guide: How to set TA alerts.
You can now fill out a conditional close (in markets where the option is available) and collapse that section of the form, tidying up the view. A summary of the conditional close order is still visible. Click “Conditional Close” again to expand the section.
We’ve also made the Total field editable in the Conditional close section of the trade panel.
We’ve added the Weighted Moving Average (WMA) overlay to the Analysis menu. The WMA line adds weight to each data point based on its relation to the current price. This makes it more reactive to recent price changes than other moving average lines, like the SMA and EMA. The results are sharper peaks and troughs and, potentially, earlier trend signals.
The background of each cell in the Correlations page now displays the rolling correlation over time. The correlations page tracks how closely assets match each other in price action (eg. Asset 1 goes up, so does Asset 2).
Released: July 14, 2020
Deribit perpetual futures and expiring futures (quarterly) for Bitcoin and Ethereum can now be watched on Cryptowatch.
We’ve added the Z-score analysis tool, available in the Analysis menu on the Charts page. This tool measures the distance in price from a mean value, stated in terms of standard deviations.
Lastly, you can now share themes in chat. Sending a theme in chat lets other traders copy or instantly apply the theme.
Cryptowatch charts of Deribit perpetual futures and expiring futures (quarterly) for Bitcoin and Ethereum are now available to view. Check out Deribit's BTC/USD Perpetual Futures market.
The Z-Score indicator measures the distance in price from a mean value, stated in terms of standard deviations. Select it from the Analysis menu, and use the “More info” button there to learn more about how to use Z-score.
Traders can now send their color themes to each other in the trollbox. To send a theme, open the settings menu (cogwheel, top-right of the page), select the theme to share, click “Copy”, then paste it in the chat box. Hit send, and everyone in the chat can choose to copy your theme or apply it to their terminal immediately.
Released: June 30, 2020
