Topic: Effective strategy to get crypto news. (Read 387 times)

^ Choosing a legitimate and popular crypto news website is always the best option and it should be reliable.
You should not rely on one source, there are a bunch of them that you must check and compare them. I have noticed that all crypto news has the same content on their blog and I think it is no different from others. If you have internet, just simply search on Google and you will get the answer, 3-5 sources will be the best choice.

I think this concern shouldn't be a problem in the first place.

I suggest OP to not make things too much complicated as getting crypto news is just around the corner. They are everywhere!

Nothing to worry about too if you encounter crappy news because I'm sure as a person who browses the internet for a long, you should at least know how to identify fake crypto news to not.

I have not read comments from other users, so, i dont know what their opinion is concerning this, but for me personally, i buy the idea, all you said above are problems i encounter too, having traded forex before coming into crypto, i understand how important news is to a trader, it acts as a deciding factor, trading a currency without know what is the latest happenings in that currency is what we call blind trading or trading blindly which also equals to gambling.
Crypto currency space is still growing and still needs a lot of mending, in the area of news, there is no particular source to focus on, An important information concerning a coin can be seen one news outlet  and not been seen on several others, this is not helpful, most especially to traders who need this information to calculate the market..

So indeed, if you are going to make a tool that can bring all the important information to one place for easy accessibility, then be sure you have a user in me. 

That's true and that's what humans sometimes find themselves in,
it's better to focus on looking for news on some coins that we trust, maybe 3 to 5 coins are still normal,
but again it all depends on you because all decisions are up to us

Information available on the internet is vast and we can't really know everything in it and yes obtaining the right information is really challenging and time consuming and if there is a way to filter out the things and you know something effective way then yes it would be gladly welcomed by everyone.

Personally I trust very few crypto news sites only even in that there are many news which are mostly comes with the intention of manipulation so news is just a part to make strategies and I am never rely on it completely.

You could check this site, this might help I believe since they have updated news hourly (if I'm not mistaken) about cryptocurrency, like any hot news about any cryptocurrency or interesting news about it that might help you in a certain way. Their UI is very clean and very user friendly, you're not gonna confuse on what to press or anything.

E D I T: I'm not promoting them or anything, just wanted to help OP.

You don't need any strategies to keep yourself updated with crypto and news. You can use the forum. Anything that is trending most likely is being discussed on this forum. You can use google too. Google and you will find some good crypto currency related news portals. You can go through those every day.

And since you are also looking for coin specific news, go to coinmarketcap, select the coin that you want to keep yourself updated about, keep it on your watchlist, and when you scroll down, you will see all the news about the coin from different news portal.

You will face this problem if there are too many coins that you are looking for news, maybe focusing on a few coins will save more time and don't need all the media about your crypto as a reference, just what you trust.
Will the software that you will develop later become free software?

I'm following this website too: https://cryptopanic.com/ since it filters a lot of noise regarding news, it may have features that you wanted that may cater your needs. If you want to build something I think you can make this one as a source for inspiration and coinmarketcap as well as others suggested.

Obviously, this is due to the fact that you are trying to track too much information for a large number of coins. In this case, you need to identify priority areas for yourself, which would include tracking news on 3-5 coins of interest to you.

I could remembered then how i do follow this platform to get updates from upcoming projects and listing in exchanges and CMC. I have wrongly engaged myself with some wrong updates, it was a token listed on Hotbit.io and i made a deposit to trade on that exchange but lastly was dumped over me so i limited to follow news on their website all less a token or coin that would be listing on Binance.

https://coinmarketcal.com/en/ — still confirm with official channels as sometimes spam news may get on top.

And even if somehow you could get all of that information you still have to go through the trouble of reading it, interpreting it and then to take action based on the news you have read.

To me this whole process seems to be too time consuming and even if you could do it by the time you try to do a trade most likely those which are not interested in gathering that much information already made their move, and even those which only watch the charts would have probably already realized something was going on the market and made their move too, so it seems like something which will take a lot of effort for almost no gain.

you don't need to read all the news, just browse and filter what you think is important in your trading activities. also, if you are interested in particular coins, just dedicate your time reading about those coins, their social media updates and other developmental updates. your head will go crazy if you will try to get a hold of what's going on in every project.

You can put different sources into a feed system and get that on a single update. While I applaud the attempt to do this, how much good info you will get from it how much you can actually apply in trading is doubtful.

Because people have been trying this for years and every time they are late by the time they get the news. You will not get that first mover advantage that you have been thinking of.

Still the only reason why people do this is to make money, which can be done with spot trading after reading charts and planning your buy/sell levels even after the news. Not all news are reliable as well.

Gathering a lot of news takes a long time and causes confusion, it is enough to follow some reliable channels of Telegram and Twitter and take the most important news from there, you cannot follow all the news and check the good and bad ones, you have to focus your efforts in searching for a specific thing or coin that you are interested in , usually coins that have a special event that makes a noise around them that causes them to trend in the media, and then you can search in more detail and gather more information about this coin.

Though I would consider them factual data which is also important to take into consideration while investing and trading bitcoin I believe you should focus more on to technical analysis. Many times TA can be upper hand in the crypto trading because this market very volatile and it could leave the boundaries of facts anytime given the trade. I am more or less trading less and hodling more so I know one thing sure, news may or may not affect the bitcoin prices and with the time they are getting very disconnected. So don’t take that factor into consideration at A+ level but may be just for reference. And best source is forum itself.

I suppose there are other investors which may have the same problems as you when it comes to finding the information they want about the coins they are following, but why not just use Google alerts or another similar service instead of trying to code your own solution when something free is already available?

Maybe it does not do exactly what you want but it is a starting point which could be easily refined by using some filters, and the best part is that it would not require an enormous amount of effort before you see results which are good enough.

What you say is true but on the other hand I think we should keep up to date with the latest news,
after all it is an important thing but indeed we should not focus on that alone,
What is clear is that to find a strategy that suits us, it certainly takes a process

I use a news aggregator in the past but it has been closed down. Other alternatives are Twitter from journalists or TG channels of news websites. 

I think your program can be useful, as long as it is not a paid service since most of the time people would rather stick to channels or social media. If you're planning to monetize it, maybe ads or patreon would be more than enough. It is not going to give you a lot of money for sure, but for a passive income, it should be okay. That being said, build it for your own purpose first.

Be careful with the news as they can be faked to create Fuds. You don't have to read all the news every day to stay up to date with market news, you should look for one or two reliable websites to follow the news every day. In addition, you should only focus on news related to the project you invest in, this will help you catch the developments of that project in a timely manner. I only use cryptopanic for general news and twitter is where I regularly follow information about the projects I am investing in and look for hidden gems in the market.

I don't face that problem since I only get those news source that I trust. One problem that you may face if you like to filter most of the news are the fake news.

Yes, there are still some articles and sources that would like to vent false information just to give some insights and hype for the project that they're about to release. This isn't new and that's part of their strategy.

If you can some software or app to filter out those news, it's just like subscribing to newsletters which is better to do that than spend time developing that software.

But since it's going to be your personal use, do what makes you think is comfortable and will make you productive as a trader.

hard to detached global politics when it comes to crypto news nowadays especially now that regulators are making a fuzz and there is banning and blocking of bank accounts. if we can't trust the crypto news flowing from youtubers, i think we can just rely on the TAs.

if the software is going to pull some news and send the relevant to your inbox, just subscribe to the blogs and youtube channel using your phone, you'll see the notification on the phone.

I guess that is a problem for everyone who wants to trade or start investing. Before someone starts, they should be able to find more information related to crypto and it will depend on their creativity to find crypto news. If he can get more information, it will help him know what to do and make decisions at the right time. He can also avoid scams that often occur in crypto.

And if you have found valid information, you must practice it so your abilities can develop better. It will also help you to be able to profit in trading and investing because you can find the right coin to start with.

What @OP did helped him find a lot of relevant information but it's not necessarily useful for others. And this is why everyone must be able to find their own way of finding the news.

Not only in this forum but there are paid influencers in twitter and on youtube who do the same thing. There is also on telegram but it's possible to detect them if you already have some experience here in crypto. There are still lots of valuable threads in our forum but maybe not all information can be found here. Doing some searching outside is also a good thing to do.

I know there are now bots and groups which can send us signals, I think this was the same to what the op is looking for but he can still pursue his plans since he is a developer. He knows what he is looking for so he can tailor the program according to his own needs.

In cryptocurrency market, it is hard to succeed if you are relying on news. Because news are faked and used to manipulate the market. If you believe in news, you are believing in market manipulators. Manipulators don't make you rich, they make themselves richer but you will get poorer.

The more effective strategy to succeed in crypto is to ignore news and focus on fundamentals of projects that you are interested in and want to invest in.

You need to know that some websites, news, blogs, and Youtube videos are full of misinformation. Therefore you need to be more careful. However, I want you to understand that cryptocurrency trading is highly risky it could be your way to being rich or the way to being bankrupt. I don't want to scare you but knowledge is what is important in every aspect of crypto as a newbie you need to learn indicators like EMA, RSI, MA, and Bollinger Bands.

In the meantime, you can follow reputable crypto enthusiasts like Apompliano, Rovercrc, and Woonomic on Twitter. For the 3 identified problems, you can check the list of news and influence people these people followed.

News aggregators are great but not a lot of them o a good job though. The best one I found is probably CryptoPanic as it indexes most of the "mainstream" crypto news outlets but you always need to combine it with a well-rounded Twitter feed and a few other sources like Reddit and whatnot.

The program already exists and there are many sites^[1] that provide such services, so you will not be able to provide anything new here.
The thing that you can do is to program AI algorithm to exploit this data and come up with investment decisions based on the analysis of the data and the news that you have obtained.

Not many users in this forum are really discuss and share an important thing about altcoins, because most of users on altcoins section are spammers and only shills their shitcoins project. Usually they will create a thread where they say X coin will overtake Bitcoin, X coin will pump and the price will hit new ATH before Y date etc. If you're trade Bitcoin, then you will see many people are posting good price speculation and hot topic news on press board.

I guess, many crypto users used Bitcointalk to get effective strategy to get crypto news in the community to trade their coins, which is the best platform that is tested and trusted by many people to get genuine information from. Since people used crypto market information to know if there is a bear season or bull season in the community before they can sell or buy coins, because that is the best place many potential traders use to get their news from to carry out their trade to ensure they achieve something good at the end of the market.

Just follow the creator of top coins and tokens not the new ones because its likely going to be a manipulated news to pump.
There are several podcast I have been following like the Breakdown NLW podcast, Kitco news on youtube. But you can always subscribe to coindesk or cointelegraph blogs to receive news.

But don't read and use those news for trading decisions, they may send out good news but prices will not move. Those are just updates of what is happening in the space. Don't rely on news in trading. I'm no pro trader but I'd prefer to just buy when its almost bull run.

Take a look at cryptopanic.com, it's a news aggregator website for all things crypto. I'm not their regular user so I can't say for sure but maybe somewhere in the settings, you'll be able to customize your feed or something. I've also noticed some questionable sources from there so yeah hopefully there's a way to filter such things. Take note that some features may be paywalled. I'm also not suggesting to solely rely to them as we can't expect them to reach everything but perhaps it could make things easier for you.

A lot of crypto trading is done in the background. By the time you have heard of a project's name, it could already have a market cap of $100 million. A lot of successful trading is done without the news on a lot of things and relies on other fundamentals (such as how much a coin is searched or if it's near a significant support or resistance level).

A lot of altcoin projects this year have been playing games with their investors in a hunt for more capital and notoriety - don't be fooled by a short lived wave on some altcoins that can pump and dump or see significant claims the network will change only to post multi-year roadmaps because they lack appropriate competition.

There are crypto based news outlets, this forum, twitter and YouTube to pick from for a lot of information, why not just pick one or two to focus on? It's more important to absorb different types of media than it is to absorb different media outlets of the same type imo. If you're using social media, you'll get accounts of events with less biases that aren't called out. If you're using a Web page or YouTube video, you'll get a more concise article but it might also fit a bias and be inaccurate (I'm not saying to only rely on one though because some social media comes with limited demographics of comments and you could get the same biased/inaccurate view from multiple people/shillers).

As mentioned above there are sites like coin market cap, crypt exchanges and potentially search engines that will be able to deliver you news articles though too.

Having the knowledge of trading or cryptocurrency, doesn't necessarily mean that bitcointalk community will provide all for you, some do not take their own personal step of knowing anything about cryptocurrency, so therefore making a personal research of cryptocurrency is one the things that speeches about cryptocurrency volume and it adoption exactly, so i believe that Bitcoin and trading information can be perfectly been secure with proper research of cryptocurrency.

this is part of the Fundamental cryptocurrency, where any news that appears will affect the movement of the crypto market. There are many news sources that can be used as references for the latest crypto news, but when FUD has started to appear it will be the cause of the unstable market because the negative impact of FUD puts pressure on the market and this is the goal that was planned.
I get all the crypto news from sites like Cointelegraph, CoinDesk, cryptonews, and several other news portals. and I also monitor through social media twitter, because there will be crowded with the latest news about crypto.

You can also check CoinMarketCap or coin telegraph for effective news sources. And even this forum alone will also contribute a lot of help when it comes to crypto news as there lots of reputable members who always start a thread based on the current news and trends in the market. So it’s always a matter of digging news and events in all reliable resources so that you will get updated on the crypto market.

Why would be paying up on those TG groups just for the news or events? Current crypto news site would be that enough if you are really that something looks for news and events.

It is a matter of some putting up effort and time on surfing out or accessing these things or checking it out if you are really that goes into fundamentals or just simply does like on

being updated on the current crypto events or news that we do have in the market.There are people whom do really love on making theirselves get updated
on whatever is happening around.VIsiting common known cryptonews site Ex. Coindesk and lots are relevant into this regard.

You don't.need to worry too much about that because you seem to. There are different news that you can follow just like in outside crypto and on cryptocurrency related information, you have variety which is spicing things up. News for cryptocurrency is not in single fold, you have to research on more site to be certified or you join telegram grow that releases the information on cryptocurrency but be careful about the monetary request that they will make.

Hi All!

I'm a newbie in crypto-land.

As most (wanna-be) traders, I search for daily news on different coins I'm interested in. To do this, I screen reputable websites, blogs, and YT channels every day.

Having gone through this process for a few months, I've identified 3 problems:
- Finding news for multiple crypto currencies is time consuming, meaning there's a lot of noise to filter out.
- Reading articles / watching videos on crypto takes significant time.
- Relevant information is scattered all over the place. Back to point 1 wrt investing considerable time to put together all the info I need for my trading decisions.

To address these issues, I'd like to build a piece of software to automatically get in my inbox all the crypto news I need organised by currency (I'm a programmer). The system scans several info outlets, creates article summaries, and sends the ones that are relevant to me. Every day.

I think I'm not the only one facing these problems, but I may be overlooking something, given I'm new in the space.

I'm curious to know whether you also face the problems I've listed above? Alternatively, what problems do you experience when gathering news, if any?

[Disclaimer] If I see these problems are particularly felt by the community, I may patch my personal solution into a product others can use.

Thank you.
