I started a thread on programming for some bots - let's see if it comes ok
you can check it in few weeks, who knows
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=378587.0but you need to know one thing - if you are going into trading one way or another this is long term investment, if you want short term results then you might as well gamble
the logic is simple - if you go short term then you would like also to go again short term , more and more till you end up with a big loss you can not afford, as they call it - newbie experience
so take there
for now I could recommend to try it manually , you need the API if you want 24/7 trading, but so far for testing purposes you could give it a try manually
