Crypto scalping comes down to three essentials: execution speed, the ability to detect impulses early, and precision in analysis. MoonTrader supports high frequency speed trading, bringing these elements together in three core features: low-latency HFT execution, an intelligent Crypto Screener, and a customizable Tick Chart. Combined, they give traders the tools to react faster and trade with more confidence — whether using algorithms or trading manually.
HFT — reducing latency for both algorithms and manual trading
How it works
MoonTrader achieves low latency by placing its core software on servers located directly next to the exchange. This setup significantly reduces response times, especially for algorithms, where every millisecond matters.
But it also benefits manual scalpers: all trigger orders — stop-losses, take-profits, trailing stops, and more — execute faster, giving traders better control over their positions.
Why it matters
- For algo traders: stable, predictable execution of automated strategies.
- For manual scalpers: faster order triggering and a quicker reaction to market moves.
Crypto Screener — instant detection of market moves and volume spikes
How it works
The Crypto Screener in MoonTrader acts as a built-in pump and dump detector as well as a volatility tracker. It continuously monitors the market to identify anomalies such as:
- sharp price movements,
- sudden spikes in trading volume.
Once a signal is detected, the terminal can automatically open the chart for a quick manual trade or launch a pre-set algorithm based on the event.
Why it matters
- React instantly to pumps, dumps, and sudden volatility.
- Save time by avoiding the need to manually scan hundreds of pairs.
- Flexibility: decide whether to act manually or let your algorithm handle it.
Tick Chart — seeing what candlesticks hide
The advantage of tick-based charts
Unlike candlestick charts that plot data in fixed time intervals, the tick chart displays every price change based on executed trades. This gives traders a more granular view of the market, allowing them to spot:
- micro-impulses and hidden price patterns,
- slowdowns and accelerations in activity,
- structural movements that candlesticks hide, even on small timeframes.
Why scalpers love it
Combined with MoonTrader’s risk-management tools — automated stops, take-profits, trailing stops, a second stop-loss, and auto-reduction of targets — the tick chart becomes a powerful weapon for manual scalpers. It provides clearer entries, exits, and tighter control over short-term trades.
All in one place
For both algorithmic traders and manual scalpers, MoonTrader brings what matters most: lower latency, faster signals, and a clearer picture of the market — all inside a single terminal.
