Altcoin trading bot

[bitcoinrocks]

Are there altcoin trading bots available to use or do I need to write my own?

You'd need to write it from scratch more or less. There is some basic code, e.g. NuBot which is a bot for market-making and connects to several exchanges. https://bitbucket.org/JordanLeePeershares/nubottrading/

Its unlikely someone would publish a profitable bot strategy (for free anyway).

C.A.T is probably the most famous: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=507103.0
Haas is another one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=211979.0
...and Qt Bitcoin Trader is a free and open source bot (please note that this one is a bit limited on supported exchanges) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=201062.0

Can anyone offer comparisons of these?  Haas seems geared toward trading according to indicators.  CAT might be ideal but I think it's distributed as a java binary so anything could be lurking in there.  Does Qt support alts?

Depending on your coding skills writhing a basic bot is quite simple. Python + selenium can be good start for this.

Quatloo trader is probably one of the cheapest and best.
But if you think you can make it better, that is good idea an you can sell it here.
Also it is always good to have diversity in offers.

What exchanges would you want to connect to? NuBot has 20,000 lines of code for free. There is a bunch of things that are missing, but it's a start.

Are any of these considered more trustworthy than others?

I'm looking to connect to Poloniex.  Since there seem to be several fully-featured bots available, I may as well try them out before I try to reinvent the wheel.

Can any of these run remotely?

Sounds Nice have never used this before. Hope someone can share some names of great software without you have to do that much coding. Will try if it's worth using this more then once.

CAT runs on Linux if you can run Java 8.  It doesn't run remotely but you can try to get around that with a remote desktop tool.

Haas can be run remotely.  An older version of it runs on Linux.

Qt Bitcoin Trader doesn't support Poloniex.

Quatloo only runs on Windows.

PM sent. Anyone interested in these things can contact me, I'm willing to help out (if you're able to code i.e.).
