Fluid Protocol Grant Bi-Weekly Update (6th Edition)
Date: February 21st, 2024
I. Executive Summary:
a) Roadmap Progress
New Release Branch: release/v0.0.16
- Migration for QuickTrade from Files to Database: The QuickTrade feature, which allows for fast and easy trading, has been migrated from using files to store data to using a database. This should improve performance and scalability.
- Validate “Leftover Collateral Below 1.00 USD”: When setting stop-loss (SL) or take-profit (TP) levels, the system now validates that the leftover collateral (the remaining funds after a trade) is not below 1.00 USD. This is to ensure that there are always sufficient funds in the account to cover potential losses. This validation is currently implemented in the trading bot.
Upcoming Release’s List
- Multi Wallets: The upcoming release will introduce support for multiple wallets, allowing users to manage and trade from different wallets within the same account.
- [API] New Function Support Order and TP/SL: The API will include new functions to support placing orders and setting stop-loss and take-profit levels.
- [API] Leftover Collateral Amount < 1 USD: Similar to the validation in the trading bot, the API will also include a check to ensure that the leftover collateral amount is not less than 1 USD.
- [API] Fix Bug: Wrong Collateral Amount in TP/SL: A bug related to incorrect collateral amounts being used in stop-loss and take-profit calculations will be fixed in the upcoming release.
- [API] Adjust Access_Token Timeout Value via .env File: The timeout value for the access token used for API authentication can be adjusted through the .env (environment variables) file, allowing for greater flexibility in session management.
- Fix Privatebin Request with CF Proxy=ON: A fix will be implemented for issues related to making requests to Privatebin (a secure pastebin service) when the Cloudflare proxy is enabled.
- New Contest Leaderboard Development: Users will earn points based on the trading volume of their referrals. They can also earn points from their own trading volume, but the points earned this way will be fewer. This is for a unique type of competition to come.
- Referral Link Details Update: Information regarding updates to the referral link details is not provided in the text.
b) Milestone/KPI Achievements
