Print Page - [Botcoin.js] An autotrader for mtgox in node.js

Hello newbies :) I'm one of you!

I wrote a simple Node.js app that can automatically sell/buy BTC on MTgox when certain thresholds are reached.
It checks the price every 30seconds and execute your scheduled orders if needed. Everything gets logged in the directory logs/ and you will receive an email on a specified address whenever a trade is executed.

You can see the source and download it fron github. https://github.com/adv0r/botcoin (https://github.com/adv0r/botcoin) (now with instructions in a better readme)

As simple as that. Is probably faulty. So, dont trust me with your own money.

You need to edit the file cfg/config.json with your MTgox api keys and preferences :

Code:

{
    "api_key": "your-api-key-mtgox",
    "sec_key": "your-secret-key-mtgox",
    "strategy": "path/to/strategy.csv",
    "email_notification": "your@email.com",
    "gmail_sender": "you@gmail.com",
    "gmail_password": "Your?gmail_p4sswd",
    "ask_confirmation": "true"
}

Then you can specify your trade rules in a simple csv file (specified in the options above). For example :

Code:

operation, amount,direction,target,comment
buy,15,below,81,here is one comment
sell,1,above,90.3,sell one BTC when the price overcomes 90.3 $
sell,100,below,55,sell 100 BTC if the price drops under 55$

I needed it for my own purpose. Now I can sleep good dreams and siestas having the app running 24/7 on a webserver . It worked for one week straight without failures and saved me two days ago from the big 95$ to 75$ drop.

Let me know if you like it and you find it useful. Fork it, clone it, talk to me :)
