Migrating from legacy Coinrule
How to move from coinrule.com (the legacy product) to Coinrule Cloud — what transfers automatically (plan tier only) and what you set up fresh.
Coinrule Cloud is the next generation of the platform, with AI-driven strategy creation, multi-scenario backtesting, and basket portfolios not available in legacy Coinrule. The original platform (coinrule.com) continues to run and is not being shut down, but all new development is on Coinrule Cloud. The only thing that transfers automatically is your plan tier (via Chargebee plan inheritance) — strategies, exchange connections, and trade history must be set up fresh. This guide compares the two platforms and walks through the migration steps.
What is different in Coinrule Cloud?
| Feature | Legacy Coinrule | Coinrule Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Strategy creation | Visual rule builder | AI parsing (natural language / code) |
| Strategy types | Visual conditions only | AI + code + TradingView webhooks |
| Backtesting | Basic | Multi-scenario (admin-controlled beta — request access from support) |
| Baskets | No | Yes |
| Public REST API | No | No |
| Pricing | Credits | Credits (same concept, new structure) |
What transfers automatically?
Only your plan tier carries over, via Chargebee plan inheritance. When your legacy subscription changes (renew, upgrade, downgrade, cancel), a Chargebee webhook updates your Cloud entitlement, and your effective plan becomes the higher of your Cloud (Stripe) plan and your inherited legacy plan. See Inherited plans for the full details.
Everything else is set up fresh on Cloud:
- Strategies — not migrated. Re-create them on Cloud (see the steps below).
- Exchange connections — not migrated. Legacy API keys cannot be transferred; create new keys for Cloud.
- Trade history — not migrated. Your legacy history stays on coinrule.com.
How do I migrate?
Sign up for Coinrule Cloud
Go to cloud.coinrule.com and create an account. Use the same email address as your legacy Coinrule account so plan inheritance links correctly.
Confirm your inherited plan
Check Settings → Billing → Plan. If it shows an inherited plan, your legacy entitlement carried over automatically and there's nothing more to do. If you expected one and it's missing, email [email protected].
Re-connect exchanges
Exchange API keys from the legacy platform cannot be transferred. Create new API keys for Coinrule Cloud. See the exchange guides.
Re-create strategies
Paste a description of each legacy strategy into the Coinrule Cloud terminal. The AI interprets it into the new rule format.
Your legacy strategies are not stopped — they keep running on the old platform until you manually stop them.
Public API
Coinrule Cloud does not offer a public REST API. If you relied on the legacy API, contact [email protected] to discuss options.
Running both platforms in parallel
There is no restriction on running both legacy Coinrule and Coinrule Cloud simultaneously. However, be aware:
- The same exchange account can be connected to both platforms — be careful about conflicting orders.
- Use separate API keys (one for legacy, one for Cloud) so you can revoke them independently.
