We invented our own trading method using genetic algorithms for optimizations. We focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum because of high volatility and liquidity of a market.
We are using our own market indicators which we are ran through GA (genetic algorithm). We found out it preforms better than other very popular indicators like RSI, MACD, DEMA...
Our algorithm runs on any candlesticks sizes, the more data it has, the better it performs. It is not dependent on time. If you run MACD/RSI/DEMA on small candlesticks it performs very poorly.
Here are the results (fee 0,25%, slippage 0,05)

http://imgur.com/Buf6jcBWe used Gekko trading bot for backtesting and Poloniex as the exchange. We have been running this strategy for quite a while but we wanted to see how it performs in bear market. It is easy to make money in bull market using almost any strategy but it is hard to make profit in downtrends. It is even harder to be profitable in bull and bear markets with the
same strategy.
We decided to sell strategy only to the highest bidder, because if too many people used it, it would not be as profitable as it is. We are selling source code of the final strategy. We can also help you configure Gekko trading bot to run our strategy.
Bid starting price is 299 ETH or BTC equivalent. You can bid via PM or post in this topic. Auction ends in 20 days.
