Just completed to develop my first trading bot and put it into a test run.
The trading model is far from being perfect, but so far (the last couple of days), does the job , didn't loose any money and earned a few bucks.
During the development a came up with a question, to use one bot or several bots.
If using one bot
The architecture is to fill up the code with endless number of restrictions and fallback parameters to avoid falls and gain maximum profit.
doing this the maintenance is hell, slows down reaction time, and there is always a little tweak to add that will probably brake the whole logic...
but
you have one bot for the job. and it will make maximum profit. (if there is such a thing...)
Or, use few bots
based on different methodologies like, take lower risks or higher risks, of when to buy or sell based on different models.
so some will perform better then the other
but,
compare to the first one it's hard to tell how it will perform..
Any toughs on this ?
thnx
