Title: bitbot, a simple (current Mt Gox only) trading bot in Python

The first thing I plan on doing is just setting up simple buy / sell points.  I know you can already open orders via Mt Gox but this would keep it off the orders list so people don't know your intentions.

What features does it need most / what would you like to see?

Ideas:
- XMPP (Jabber) / SILC / IRC / AIM / libnotify notifications for buys / sells / trades / price points
- ncurses UI
- windows UI?  (I don't do much windows stuff these days...)
- modular API support (adding a new trade market API would just mean coding the glue to use that API and all internal stuff would be standardised)
- order queueing (at 9AM, place an order to buy 10btc @ $10 USD)

Let me know what you think!  All suggestions / criticism welcome.

CampBX has a spend x function that partially automates buying and selling, I dont know about mtgox though i dont trade there.

You should design it to work with campbx if possible.

LOL

Funny thing this is where it always comes down to, seems similar to early gpu miners where nobody was sharing this. Except this time these algorithms are also a fundamental part of our current financial fiat system and they are the most expensive piece of information there is....
