Bitfinex Honey has proven to be a highly systematic open-source toolkit thought out to the smallest detail. With the built-in code, traders could run algorithmic strategies directly from their devices and implement new orders to customise their trading experience. But, as a technology, Bitfinex Honey has all the potential to develop in an even more professionalised and efficient way. So, we’re pleased to share the latest updates to the Bitfinex Honey.
