Title: [bitrade] New trading bot: request for comments Post by: cw on March 15, 2011, 11:37:15 AM Since I joined the Bitcoin community (very recently), I have been thinking about a project that can fill a gap in the Bitcoin ecosystem and can be useful for me to experiment with my machine learning skills. So I have started to develop a trading bot/library.
I am quite busy with work and I have not set a specific release schedule, but at the moment, I am dumping here what I have done, what I'm planning, and I'd like to hear about what you'd like to see. It is a Python library + CLI interface + bot. At the moment I have just completed a Mt. Gox interface. It has only methods to match Mt. Gox API. My current To-Do list looks like this:
So, what would be your wish-list? What kind of set of actions do you need to simplify? Do you have any suggestion? License is set GPLv3, but I am accepting (constructive and explained) comments here too. Eventually, I will set a bounty for the development of some features, such as trading optimization and forecasting, but at the moment, you can donate to 1BK5Ao3fvhzH5wLASizxW3yHMmNQKNk2PD if you want to support it. EDIT 2011/03/16: I'll set up the project in GitHub as soon as I finish Mt. Gox and BTCex support and a basic example bot.

It should protect you better from people who take and don't give anything back. Title: Re: [bitrade] New trading bot: request for comments Post by: hozer on April 10, 2011, 04:27:58 AM What's the status on this?
It would be quite nice if we could get a reasonable Python API and have implementations for both MtGox & BTCex.

The hard part is deciding how much to risk on each trade, observing and dynamically tuning results over time, etc. Title: Re: [bitrade] New trading bot: request for comments Post by: ryepdx on April 11, 2011, 08:21:41 PM
Yahoo! Finance delivers: http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?e=.csv&f=sl1d1t1&s=USDEUR=X (http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?e=.csv&f=sl1d1t1&s=USDEUR=X) The above will get you the USD to EUR exchange rate as a CSV file. Note that this method of accessing the Yahoo! Finance dataset is deprecated. The new way is through YQL: http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/ (http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/) Title: Re: [bitrade] New trading bot: request for comments Post by: hozer on April 24, 2011, 02:55:24 PM Check out http://www.geniustrader.org/ Note that the MtGox / btcex interfacing is the easy part. The hard part is deciding how much to risk on each trade, observing and dynamically tuning results over time, etc. I'm not looking for genius trades, I'm looking for stupid simple trades ;) I'll be quite happy with a basic well tested framework with MtGox/btcex/Britcoin support in some reasonable & practical language, such as python. I'm not really interested in over-optimizing the trading strategy... With bitcoin there are still exchanges with no trading fees, which to my understanding is a big cost in 'traditional' trading strategy development.

Hey cw, how is this project coming? Anything new?

GeniusTrader can do conservative things like... making sure you spread your risk across multiple trades, or making sure a trade fits within an overall scheme. I wouldn't assume what GT does, without actually looking at it and reading a bit. GT works great for dirt-simple trading strategies.

Machine learning! Yay!! Title: Re: [bitrade] New trading bot: request for comments Post by: aandreas on July 11, 2011, 11:26:17 PM Machine learning! Yay!!

Machine learning! Yay!! I must ask (trying not to sound disrespectful), does anyone of you even know what machine learning means? Title: Re: [bitrade] New trading bot: request for comments Post by: Geremia on May 02, 2013, 06:32:42 PM I must ask (trying not to sound disrespectful), does anyone of you even know what machine learning means? It means the program learns what we tell it to do. hahaTitle: Re: [bitrade] New trading bot: request for comments Post by: humanbeingbit on November 01, 2017, 05:27:50 PM I must ask (trying not to sound disrespectful), does anyone of you even know what machine learning means?
