Edited thread title to inactive. Other projects have been consuming my time.

That saddens me   

Good luck with your other projects though 

Thank you. I won't say the project is dead, I may revisit when I have the time to test and tune.

That would be great!! I'm currently learning python just so I can tweak this. Thanks for the code Looks like you put a decent amount of time into this!

A lot of time... I wrote this as a way of writing functional code I was interested in while learning Python basics myself.

A word of warning; most of the code is extremely amateur, and does not follow best practices. Frankly, it's a mess. There are many areas for improvement.

Best of luck! As others have stated, the biggest area of functional improvement is a better source of ticker data.

Thanks for the tip! I'm a first year networking student and have almost no experience with coding. I am basically learning from the ground up. Someone I know who trades 100's of BTC used this bot as a shell for the one that he wrote and he recommended this one to me. I can't even get this to run  I'll get a hang of it though. I hope you don't mind if I message you every once in a while to ask you a question about it

I'm getting this A LOT.  I think it only happens when it attempts to make a buy. bot was working pretty good until this started happening...

Code:

Volatility is 0.84%
Market trending up
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "application.py", line 57, in <module>
    runLoop()
  File "application.py", line 33, in runLoop
    trader.update()
  File "C:\tAPIbot-master\tapi\trader.py", line 113, in update
    self.evalOrder()
  File "C:\tAPIbot-master\tapi\trader.py", line 172, in evalOrder
    self.placeBid()
  File "C:\tAPIbot-master\tapi\trader.py", line 216, in placeBid
    amount = balance/rate
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'float' and 'NoneType'

I've figured out it's directly related to changing...

Code:

min_volatility = 1.0
# Min volatility sleep: time in seconds to sleep between min volatility checks when volatility is below threshold
volatility_sleep = 120

to

Code:

min_volatility = 0.8
# Min volatility sleep: time in seconds to sleep between min volatility checks when volatility is below threshold
volatility_sleep = 90

Is it possible that increasing the amount of times that the api is checked can induce an response that confounds the bot?

I'like this bot really!!!! I'hope you will find time to tune the bot ... for giving profit ...
