Tradebot

Automated trading on Bitstamp.

Tradebot is an algorithm that tries to predict market volatility and automatically trade at the highs/lows.

At this time, it is very much a work in progress and has, over 3 months of data, successfully simulated 1BTC into 1.6BTC.

Tradebot is a Node.js project providing a http web interface (like the image above) at a specified port. It is set up to trade on Bitstamp in USD.

For the brave, and before detailed documentation is available, here is the low-down to get going:

• Clone this repo onto a Unix like machine, and install the node dependencies with npm install.

• From the root dir of the project, copy settings/settings_temp.json to settings/settings_development.json.

• Fill out the "sauce" section of the settings to start tuning your trading strategy. Help

• Get some sample data by cloning this repo into recorder/data/recording

• Record your own data by running node tradebot recorder

• Run node tradebot development to start a simulation. The http web interface will be at the port specified in the settings.

More detailed documentation will become available as the project progresses.
