Hey, I'm Darren.

I'm an independent developer and trader based in Kuala Lumpur. I built VersaTrader because I got fed up paying for trading tools that charged $28–90 a month for features that honestly shouldn't cost that much.

I've been trading crypto since 2020. For most of that time I was paying for Altrady, which is fine, but it kept getting more expensive while the features I actually needed (TP/SL, trailing stops, proper multi-exchange view) felt like they were always one tier away.

So I built my own. Started as a personal tool, ended up being something I wanted to share.

The philosophy

Trading tools should be accessible. The information edge in crypto comes from reading the market well, not from paying more for your platform. A $21/month tool should give you the same execution capability as a $90/month one.

VersaTrader's TA tools and paper trading are free forever. The Pro plan is for live exchange connections and smart orders, and even then, it's priced to be affordable, not to maximise revenue.

The tech

VersaTrader is a web app — no download, no install, works on any device with a browser. Real-time charts via Lightweight Charts, WebSocket market data directly from exchanges, and a proper backend for managing your orders and positions. Hosted in Asia (Singapore) for latency reasons.

Privacy

No Google Analytics. No tracking pixels. Analytics is Plausible — aggregated, no cookies, GDPR-safe. Your API keys are encrypted at rest. I don't sell data. That's it.

Get in touch

Best way to reach me: [email protected] or @versatrader on X. I read everything, though I can't always reply quickly. Bug reports and feature suggestions are welcome.
