xBot - Professional trading robot (DISCONTINUED)

[poikkeus]

Thanks for another bot to make money with. Will there be a GUI soon?

Hey,

I think only reason for a GUI would be features like inspecting your backtest with charts generated on fly. You could see table for profit of each day in the test and then you could select some days and view chart which shows all indicators and the points where it bought or sell etc for analyzing and making configs better. Stuff like that... or you have something in mind?

Those features might come in the future but will take a long time and they aren't now in the top of my priorities in developing this bot. Currently I should focus in making a better ReadMe because I think it's very hard to start configuring it without previous knowledge. I'll also make a list of example configs but at this moment I'm working with new version (again) and testing the new features..

[poikkeus]

Version 1.544 released:
- indicator points double -> integer (no decimals anymore, for accuracy use higher number e.g. 1234 instead of 1.234)
- negative points allowed in config (except ratio trend and thin ask/bid indicators [not needed])
- indicator locking ability for disabling neutral signal
- more helpfull backtest log
- more optimization again
- "debug" parameter and command for more output
- new default cfg using indicator locking

How do we know this isn't smuggling a trojan into our system to get at our wallets? Or that 3 months in the future it's not going to empty out any balance in our accounts?

By checking the source code. Though this bot should be ran at a dedicated server for it being 24/7 running and you don't have to put your wallet at the server. Also it can't empty your exchange wallet if you don't add "withdraw" rights for the API key you create at bitstamp.com (the right is not needed).  

PS: http://jd.benow.ca/ Scroll down the page and drag&drop xbot.jar file to the "live demo" and you can view all source code (of any other java application too!).

Weird! It works for me. Here is another: http://54.186.135.53/xbot

I'll give it a go again tonight most likely, think I'll give it a one month spin. Need to wipe one of my servers first.

New version coming! I've made backtesting 20-50 times faster, but now it uses more RAM too. You need at least 2 GB ram. I have 8 GB and I run four tests at the same time.

I'll release this version when I've brute forced the best possible bot configuration for last 4 months in backtest.  Also some testing to do with real-time use, because I had to change so many things...

The new version isn't coming before I've finished BitFinex support.

[poikkeus]

Version 1.572 released!

- BitFinex support (only exchange limit orders)
- Very stable, my own bot has currently over 2 months up-time
- More parameters for back-testing (filtering some configs out etc.)
- Added pre-calculations for super fast backtesting but you need more than 2 GB of RAM
- New default config. Still a long-term trader, but pretty good at it. I use it myself.

Well, nice to hear about such cool staff!
And that's great that previous bugs were solved.

Yeah, I like the idea and concept.
However, is it safe?
I mean, is it safe about 100% positive balance?

No, I can't promise something like that. Even the best config I have does some bad trades, but still has done more profit than loss on average, more profit than holders would've got.

Version 1.58 released
- Bitcoincharts no longer works for bitfinex. Data sources for bfx are now completely from bitfinex API. First start is super slow now but I will look for a way to fix this.

Demo version is not updated yet, but you can use bitstamp in the demo.

xBot licences are no longer for sale! Old licences will still work though and I keep the bot updated as I still use it myself too.
