Altcoin Trading Bot

[tobiasmuehl]

Develop a simple trading bot for an altcoin exchange (one that has a developer friendly WebSockets API). Using WebSockets the bot will continuously watch market trends and execute trades (high frequency trading)
NodeJS preferred, open to alternatives if others want to join

Will be starting from scratch.

1. Get the API to work
2. Store market data for the bot to access. (Needs further planning)
3. Develop and execute trading strategy on the market data (Including a simulation mode where trades are just logged but not actually executed)

Which exchange's API do you prefer?

[tobiasmuehl]

Open to anything that's easy to work with. Having price data available via WebSockets is essential so that the bot can get enough data to make decisions from. Bitfinex seems good and Poloniex offers price data over WebSockets as well.

Are you open to working on GoLang, its got very good concurrency support and can do thousands of threads easily. Its a good fit for this use case. What do you think?

Sounds like a good idea, but unfortunately I will not be joining tonight. Dushyant <notifications@github.com> schrieb am Do., 29. Juni 2017, 16:06:

Sorry, not working on this anymore. Generally I found daytrading to not be worth it. If you want to run a bot using chart analysis you can use TradingView and http://autoview.with.pink . It's the best setup I know of and not expensive. Gunbot is expensive and actually quite bad.
