Definitely. Can't expect this bot to put on winning trades all the time (or even all that often) - should make good money when it does though.

[matthewh3]

So I'm down 1% after using the bot for over five weeks.  Well it will be the three month mark before I decide on putting real money on the bot or not.

Edit:  Maybe six months?

I have a weird bug with it. Every once in a while the bot says "troubles accessing your account", even though the api key and api secret are filled out. Then I go check the options page, and I don't even change anything and just click "Apply and save changes" and it somehow fixes it, but then 1 or 2h later the bot is broken again. What could be doing this?

mtgox has a default timeout period which is less than an hour I think. Go into settings and make it over an hour, or the next timestep up from your bot trading time. That should help.

another question, how often is the bot supposed to buy/sell stuff? it's been running for 2 days and it didn't do a single trade yet, even though the EMAs were perfect and it had a few really good opportunities

When the threshold changes beyond the inverse 0.25%.  So if your in dark green you need it to go to over red 0.25% if your in dark red you need it to go to over green 0.25%.

[matthewh3]

Well the bot has lost me 6% in over ten weeks of use.  A good idea but never mind

Any chance of this being made to work with the Parabolic SAR?

Seems like a dead thread, but if anyone's interested...

I tested the bot with 1000 dollars.    It bought BTC at 36.00 (blue arrow) and successfully allowed MtGox to rally up to 49.00 and has not sold those coins as of yet - at 39.00

I wonder what the benefit is?  The lines for both moving averages have converged.  I am letting it go to see if it ever sells?  Or maybe only after a loss has occurred.

The chart for today.

I am following this thread since a few days so there are still people interested .

I am currently testing this bot with 200 dollars. It has bought me the coins @ $43 and still holds. We'll see where it goes.

This bot doesn't work so well when there is an upward trend like the unprecedented rise we've been seeing this last 4-5 weeks.

I'd suggest you wait until BTC stays within +/-5% over the course of a week, then I'd use the bot.

That's for sure.

I watched it buy at 36.00 - saw 49.00 - the bot just ignored the major crash (33.30) and didn't sell till it was back up to 41.50.

Then the bot bought at 44.75 and just now sold at 41.17 (loses never heard of when this bot was written i.e. btc at 5.04 - hehe)

I am currently modifying the code to make trades every 15 minutes (if necessary) in a fast moving market.  It will take weeks to see if this will work.

If it works, would you share your code? With the market moving so fast it is desirable.

[louisBSAS]

Sure.  So many asked for this kind of modification for more control over trades.

I have tried it the last few days and I have a little lost because of the high MtGox trading fees

You would need longer time horizon.
