New User Interface for Exchange Balances
AlgoTrader now includes a new user interface to visualize balances held on external venues such as exchanges and custodians. All assets across connected venues are listed in both table and pie chart formats. Dynamic aggregations are available by wallet type, account and asset. Through connected custody systems, it is now possible to initiate a blockchain transfer between any two connected wallets.
AlgoTrader releases new interface
With the addition of the new asset balances user interface, AlgoTrader now supports both internal balances related to internal portfolios and external balances on exchanges. In combination, the two perspectives allow for completely new use cases such as:
Giving banking clients access to their portfolio balances and positions while executing orders through a multitude of external venues, thus managing the bank’s capital efficiently across connected venues.
Fireblocks Integration
As part of the new balances user interface, Algotrader now provides full integration with the Fireblocks API to show balances of the different wallet/account types supported by Fireblocks:
- Fireblocks vault accounts
- FIAT accounts
- Exchange accounts
- External wallets
In addition, AlgoTrader users can now initiate transfers between any two connected wallets/accounts through the Fireblocks network, via the AlgoTrader UI or API.
Utilizing the Fireblocks integration facilitates new possibilities such as the ability to transfer assets to a venue “just in time” prior to executing an order, as illustrated by this video here, thereby reducing counterparty risk whilst increasing central liquidity management.
Multi-Level Portfolio Hierarchies
AlgoTrader now comes with support for multi-level portfolios with parent/child portfolio associations. Selecting an individual portfolio will show orders, balances and positions associated with the selected portfolio. With portfolio aggregation, it is even possible to gain an aggregated view of all orders, balances and positions for the selected parent portfolio as well as all the associated child portfolios. Based on AlgoTrader’s internal FX conversion capabilities, portfolio-level metrics such as realized and unrealized P&L as well as net liquidation values are calculated on a single portfolio level, or on an aggregated level for parent portfolios including its child portfolios.

Real-time performance reports are now available for the following key metrics:
- P&L over time
