What services are being provided?

- Backtest and do thorough analysis a trading strategy that you provide trading rules for. Analysis includes advanced metrics such as Monte-carlo analysis, walk-forwarding, comparison to other benchmarks, etc. Strategy will be tested for different market regimes.
- Improve this strategy to increase revenue, minimize drawdowns or target some metrics such as risk aversion. Strategy will be optimized on historical data. In-sample and out-of-sample approach will ensure that the strategy is not being overfitted, along with several other metrics for measuring this issue.
- Automate this strategy using a trading bot that notifies everything it does via a notification service. The bots will work on exchanges including (but not limited to) Binance, Bittrex, and Poloniex. Ask me if your particular exchange is supported. The bot will require a server to work on, and at the moment has no web interface, but I can add this, and any other feature that you may require.

- Through Backtesting, I will provide you with several charts and historical performances that analyses strategies performance in various market regimes. I will, also, provide you with a detailed documentation on what each metrics report and a final analysis of what you can expect from using this strategy in a live market. This service will not provide you with any code used for performing such analysis.
- Through improvement of a strategy, I will test and optimize your strategy (while avoiding overfitting) on a variety of market regimes and try to come up with a sensible but generic strategy that has improved revenue/drawdowns or risk aversion. As a deliverable of this service, I will provide you with improved trading rules for you. There is a chance that I am unable to provide optimization (better) results, in which case, I will refund the cost of improvements and only charge for backtesting the strategy.
- Through automation of a strategy, I will backtest, optimize and make a trading bot for your strategy that will run on the exchanges mentioned above, and notify you of whatever it does. I will support trading bots that I create for a minimum period of 1 month to ensure they work as expected and are fully-functional on their own. This service does include the code for trading bot so that you can review what it is doing.

How does this deserve money? I can download Gekko...
Yes, you can. But:
1. You need to be able to write the strategy as a code (which many traders might not be able to).
2. You can not perform analysis on a portfolio of crypto-assets, e.g. I want to know what happens if I rebalance my portfolio every week based on previous weeks most trending cryptos? The backtesting libraries that do provide testing on multiple-assets don't either have documentation for them, or else, you can not use them to automate your trades.
3. Gekko (or other libraries) do not provide advanced analysis such as Monte Carlo simulation, or the likes. I can provide you with an estimate of the worst-case scenario your strategy may entail.
4. And, this is the most imporant one - This service is not focussed on backtesting things - This service is primarily focussed on getting your own customized trading bots on a set of rules that you have. The other services are, primarily, here to help you come up with such a strategy in the first place before you try to automate them.

You can post here or PM me to discuss this further.

With honesty, no. The reason I did not approach people around me is that I will have to explain them what algotrading is and the risks involved. While I do claim that the inherent risks with this system are really low, but their is risk involved. Due to the same reason, claiming that I will compensate for losses incurred will be really irresponsible and impractical on my part.

That said, I will be interested in providing a demo run on a Binance account. We can start with this bot working with a really small balance, say 0.05 BTC and see what orders it places. Once the interested party is comfortable with the orders placed, we can take it up from there

So, I can provide you with all the backtest results, with results of a live execution, and also, a demo run on your account - at the end, you got to work with the same variables that I have - past history and current performance. We both don't know what will happen with future. Seems fair to me.

As I said above, for the person who is interested in making this work, I am willing to provide API access to verify my claims. Plus, I can bet its one thing to make backtesting work, and its entirely different thing to make backtests work in bearish markets while accounting for slippage, transaction costs and the liquidity of the underlying market. So, I would love to see a backtest that does take into account slippage and transaction costs (if nothing else) and still generates consistent profits since February, 2018 - not to mention the low drawdowns.


I added screenshot for my Binance account. I am ready to verify the authenticity via PM. Still, to reiterate - I am willing to provide API details (Read only) for anyone willing to look into this and is serious about this.

Hey all,

I have written a huge amount of Python code in the last few months, and have came up with a really good trading bot that works to rebalance my portfolio at regular tick intervals or events based on some rules.

What I want to sell:

- A cryptocurrency trading bot (as a service) that makes money even in these bear markets - for 12 months.
- A consistent 1-3% per day based on market conditions, with high sharpe ratios and max drawdown as low as 5-10% over long durations.
- A slack invite to view live order placements for my own account, as well as any other person using this bot (there will be less than 2-3 people that use this bot at anytime including me).

Can you provide proof that the bot works?

- I can provide screenshots of my own Binance account where the bot is trading live along with a history of all orders it placed (timestamps for bot trades are always within 1 minute of hourly tick)
- I can provide you with a thoroughly backtested data that accounts for slippage, commissions, volume available etc. I can, if interested, provide you with individual order data for the backtests as well.
- Any other requirements you may have to prove that the system works.
- I can invite you in to my Slack channel where you can see bot making live trading decisions.

What I am not selling:

- A broken trading bot, o'course.
- Code for the bot, or its Logic.

How will this work?
- You provide me with API key for your account - the max capital you want the bot to use and I will configure it to run for you. Remeber: Do NOT enable WITHDRAWAL permissions on this bot, or for any other bot you use.

If it makes money, why are you selling?
- For one reason: I need to make up for the time I spent writing this bot. The bot generates a steady stream of revenue 1%-3%, which is a lot IF you have the initial capital to work with. By selling this to 1-2 people, I am looking to generate that initial capital, so that I can continue to improve this bot, while earning for living.

How much for this?
- 1 BTC

How much can you make?
- As stated earlier, a 1-3% of the amount invested with this bot per day. Bot has been making me a consistent 1% per day averaged since May 5, 2018.
- Bot invests in multiple assets at a time. Investing in just 1 asset increases returns per BTC invested, but increases max drawdown too. Conservatively, I have found that 3 assets selection is better. Increasing this further will allow you to invest more BTC in this bot, but lowers down expected return per BTC. The values of 1-3% are when picking 3 assets to invest in each timeframe.
- You can not simply dump 100 BTC on this bot to account for my 1-3% per day claim. The earnings are, obviously, restricted by the liquidity of the market as well as the timeframe you are comfortable with. I recommend a max of 5-10BTC/asset used.

How does this bot work?
- I cant provide the exact logic, but the bot is based on a few principles - identify trending currencies, identify mean reverting currencies, computer overbought/oversold and other indicators, check current market regime (bear/bull), check earnings for the selected assets in the past, look at the last few performances of the selected coins and disregard anomalies, pipe this data to an advanced Recurrent Neural Network (LSTM) with several layers to find the best performers, and finally (as machines yet cant match us humans) score the assets based on all these predictions and signals to come up with top scorers.

Don't even ask me to provide backtested data before Feb, 2018 - it will blow your mind.

Thank you

Please, note that the website is in Alpha - and although, everything should work nicely - but things may break for unexpected reasons at the moment. In any case, if you encounter any issue, you can ping me here or via the live chat through the site

Just a quick note, I am looking for BetaTesters here, as well as users that will be willing to share their experience/feedback.

Hello all,

I am a trader in cryptocurrencies (usual investment period is a month around), and hence, I needed an APP that could alert me about various price movements or cryptocurrency related news. I searched but could not find a comprehensive one. Therefore, I started an app of my own at: https://coinalgo.com

Please, note that the App is in Alpha version at the moment, and totally free. You can create 10 alerts at the moment, and although, app does provide alerts as soon as 15 minutes, I would advise you to set alerts every 12 hours at minimum (to reduce email clutter at your end).

At the moment, the app can alert about the following (alerts can be a one-time notification or a recurring one):

- Price of CoinX increases/decreases to N CoinY
- Price of CoinX increases/decreases/changes by N% in last T time-period. (T can be 5 minutes to 1 year)
- Alerts on new tweets from CoinX's twitter account (can filter based on number of favorites/retweets, etc.)
- Regular updates with price information of CoinX every T time-period.
- Regular updates with a list of top N biggest gainers and losers in last 24 hours.

Some of the other alerts/updates, I intend to include:

- Alerts on new reddit posts for the coin.
- Alerts on volume change in % for a coin.
- Alerts on various crossovers e.g. when EMA25 crossed SMA10
- Alerts on various TA indicators
- Alerts for upcoming ICOs / watched ICOs / AirDrops.
- and others

Feedback is more than welcome through this thread (and will be rewarded in some way or the other in future), and any request to increase number of alerts can also be requested here.

Hey all,

I am an expert level ruby/python programmer, and have several simple services that help various communities.
I have been following cryptocurrencies since last 2 years, and have immense experience with TA, trading bots, etc. and reliably run a custom trading bot (with custom trading strategies) for myself.

Now, from time and time, I look into ideas for creating new services that help a given community - FREE for all usage, if no inherent cost for the service is required except hosting, domains, etc.

There are a huge number of cryptocurrency services available on the Internet. However, if you think a service X is missing and will be a good addition for the community, I would love to write it down. Why?

1. Helping the community
2. Improve programming skills (every new service helps me learn something new)
3. Add it to my showcase (better freelancing work ops)

I will be interested in a complicated service that is immensely useful, but for the moment, my primary focus is creating simple services that just work, e.g.:

- Notifications on a specific event (e.g. TA crossovers, strategy triggers, Price up by X% etc.)
- Email digest of last few happenings in the cryptocurrency world or via telegram
- A twitter service that posts images displaying important graphs, etc.
- basically, anything simple and keeps new people more informed about the crypto world.

I am intrigued by the price drops in BTC recently, and want to buy BTC at the current price levels. However, I can not find any Indian service that offers BTC in the same price range plus some nominal fee maybe.

I would love to know how I can buy BTC at recent price levels. I would love to agree upon some terms with an LBC member, if possible, for long term buying. I am open to international trades provided its actually feasible to send money and is not riskier.

Well, SMAs are meant to be assigned like the way I did. We may get a better picture by assigning them to the middle of the observed period, but in that case it is a false picture. Consider this, we are mixing past values with the future values once you assign them to the 15th day. Do we know the future at any time?

Hence, SMAs represent the moving average over the last `n-1` days and the current day.

Just added part 2 of this article: http://coinalgo.com/2017/short-analysis-bitcoin-investment-part-2/

This is nothing awesome to be honest. Just wanted to put a number on how much growth we could expect if we invested a recurring amount of money each day into BTC at any given time in the history.

Did you know, a $1 investment in BTC each day since April, 2016 (a total of $438) would be currently worth around $1800? Considering that $1 investment each day isn't a huge or risk-worthy amount as compared to an investment of $438 in one go. O'course, the latter would have earned higher profits, but given the volatility in the market, a recurring investment seems more rewarding here, IMO.

Well, moving averages here have not been shifted to the right, but instead they have not been calculated for the initial period of the SMA. Say, we are calculating a 30-day SMA for price - since, for the first 30 days, we don't have 30 points to calculate moving average on, it is difficult to calculate SMA in that period, which is why these periods have been omitted from the graph.

If you look closely, you will see that the ends align for the actual data and their SMA vs a shift.

Just analyse things. I have no real monetary intentions here, apart from some analysis done for paid work, maybe.. sometimes...

My primary interest is in getting involved with the community here. And, what better way than to provide something that may be of use?

Hello all,

I am a, relatively, new cryptocurrency enthusiast owing to the large data they provide and the exceptional API mesh-ups that can be created using them. By heart, I am a Ruby developer but have started meddling with Python owing to the awesome quant capabilities it provides.

Over the last few months, after being initiated by my client, I have developed several strategies in backtrader library, various analysis on Buy and Hold investment strategies, different type of Portfolio creation as well as answers to questions like what kind of rebalancing works beautifully and at what time do we do such a rebalance of our portfolio?

Having done that, I did find some interesting results in my period of naive research. I am not perfect. My research ain't perfect. My data source ain't perfect (Poloniex), and my expertise with quant ain't perfect too (really new to Python), but I do want to help out. I want to present what I found in the naive hopes of helping community members.

I wanted to create a thread here with what I wanted to display. But, figured that posts were gonna be long and too much images, code, etc. may ruin the experience, and hence, created a website for the same. Its under-development at the moment.

So, here is my first post in this series (and, also on BitcoinTalk): http://coinalgo.com/2017/short-analysis-bitcoin-investment/

Would love to see any constructive criticism around this. I am here to stay for long and provide useful insights every week or sooner.
