BTC-E Autotrade

This is a simple ruby script for automated trading on btc-e.com using the btce gem. Currently configured to run locally.

This script assumes that the market will always rise. It functions by:

1. Placing a buy order at the current bid (buy) price
2. Immediately creating a sell order at the current bid price + the profit margin you'd like to make

A lot of the code will probably make more sense after familiarizing yourself with the btce gem: https://github.com/cgore/ruby-btce. Getting Started

1. Clone the repo to your hard drive.

2. Create a yml file called btce-api-key.yml and fill it in with the following format:

   KEY: YOUR_BTCE_KEY

   SECRET: YOUR_BTCE_SECRET

3. Run gem install btce

4. Overwrite the global variables in trade.rb to your liking (currency pair, amount, sleep, etc...)

5. Run ruby trade.rb to exectute the script indefinitely.
