What is Safe Trader?

Safe Trader, found online at SafeTrader.io, is a bookmarklet that promises to let you enjoy a “pro” version of Local Bitcoins. Local Bitcoins, for those out of the loop, is a marketplace where you can meet up with local bitcoin sellers in your area. You can transfer bitcoins without the transaction fees found on major exchanges.

Safe Trader was designed to make Local Bitcoins safer. It claims to reduce fraud and help you maximize your profits using “simple but essential scripts.”

There’s no need to install a plugin or extension to start using Safe Trader. It’s a “bookmarklet”, which means you add a link to your bookmark bar, then click on that link every time you want to access the platform.

Safe Trader Features

How exactly does Safe Trader make it easier to trade on Local Bitcoins? What makes it a “pro” version of Local Bitcoins? Here are some of the key features of the platform:

Power Trading

Safe Trader has a number of “power user” type features, including the ability to auto-match prices, reply to feedback, and avoid fraud by using the scammer database. You can also keep yourself online at all times. Plus, organize trader and search data.

How to Use Safe Trader

Getting started with Safe Trader is surprisingly easy. First, visit this page, then add the link to your bookmark bar.

Step 1) Visit the SafeTrader.io install page here

Step 2) Press Ctrl+Shift+B to open your bookmark bar

Step 3) Drag the button to the bookmark bar

Step 4) Open Local Bitcoins in a separate tab

Step 5) While in the Local Bitcoins tab, click the Safe Trader bookmark

That’s it. It’s pure JavaScript. The platform will run while you access Local Bitcoins as you normally would.

The platform will never ask for your Local Bitcoins API key. The script also cannot access your Local Bitcoins session cookie, nor can it make withdrawals or gather personal information. Your trading data is never shared with third parties, and all calculations and data processing is done on the client side. In addition, the bookmarklet does not break any Terms of Local Bitcoins.

To close Safe Trader, just close the Local Bitcoins browser tab. This stops the extension.

The Safe Trader Database

You can view some Safe Trader functionality before you open the bookmarklet. To do that, visit Safe Trader’s database page, where you can view a list of users currently selling or buying through Local Bitcoins. You can view that individual’s number of BTC available, for example, as well as other information about their reputation.

You can check if someone is verified, for example, or if their trading volume is at least 150 BTC. You can also see when they were last online, or check their feedback score. The most useful tool is their list of offers available. You can check each user’s listings on Local Bitcoins, then select a listing if that offer works for you (some offers are for international wire transfers in AUD, for example, while others are for credit card transfers through USD).
