AltcoinSniper

[jestersimpps]

Hi all,

I am Jester, I am from Belgium and wanted to share my project with everybody.
I have been working on it for over a month now, and it is in the final stages of development.
The main idea is to provide altcoin traders with an intuitive trading platform that gives them more insight
in the different altcoin markets on the main altcoin exchanges. (Cryptsy, Mintpal, Poloniex)

I did some trading on Cryptsy and what bothered me was the lack of actual live charts, detailed market information and cumbersome trading.
 
1.   The candlestick charts only refreshes every 5 minutes
2.   Refreshing the browser is often necessary to get the latest market information
3.   There is no good overall market overview
4.   Users have to open several browser windows to trade multiple markets at the same time
5.   Poor to no automatic trading functionality

I decided to create a winforms application to tackle these issues.
It started out as a hobby project as I thought it would be nice to chart the 6 hour price evolution of all the altcoins.
Soon after I added a simple trade panel based on forex trading platforms so that I could instantly place an order, instead of
refreshing the browser for the latest price, entering the amount clicking the buy/sell buttons and confirm the transaction, which seemed rather cumbersome to me.
As the project evolved, I decided to add detailed charts using the Zedgraph library (http://sourceforge.net/projects/zedgraph/).
A couple of weeks ago I was looking for similar projects online and discovered C.A.T bot by Sampey. 
I registered on this forum to follow the interactions and I decided to code some bot functions in my application too.

At the moment, the application is a bit of a hybrid between trading platform and bot.
From a trader's perspective, I think you can still earn a lot more by executing your trades manually,
but I understand that for most people this would take up a lot of their time, so a trade bot is a handy add-on if you set it up well.

Currently, one static trade bot and 3 dynamic trade bots have been implemented.
The functionality is explained on the website: http://altcoinsniper.com/advancedversion.html
I plan on adding a bit of code in the future that compiles a text file from the user while the application is running, so users will be able to write their own
automatic trading algorithms using the variables in the source code. (there's some screenshots of the bot code on the website, the plan is to open this up for users, so they can write their own logic)

I know the cryptocurrency community is all about open source, and I know it is selfish and some people may think its sketchy, but I don't like to make this application open source for now.
I can guarantee everyone though, that I did not put in all the work to spread malicious software or to steal everyone's API keys.
I just feel like I put a lot of work in the application and it would be awesome if I could get some BTC for it in return.
To me it seems better to enter the bitcoin ecosystem by selling creativity and passions instead of converting fiat currency.

I don't know what is expensive for most altcoin traders, but I see that most other bots or cryptocurrency trading platforms sell for about 0.7-0.9 BTC.
I decided to offer the basic functionality of my application for free, and the advanced trade panels and bots for 0.5 BTC.
The bot logic is in c# and I added screenshots on the website, so you can decide for yourself if it is worth 0.5 BTC or not.
I am always open to suggestions and improvements to the logic as these are the first auto-trading algorithms I coded.
I have done some test running of the bots though and got the following results:

YES! YES! YES! I also use cryptsy and have the same problem. I don't have enough detailed look on coins. This would be awesome when it'sdone. Youhave my full support! Keep up the good work, good luck!
