anyone else having an issue getting the graphs to display?  It does the loading circle animation for me, but when it finishes, it's still just a blank graph section.  the code and backtest simulation areas appear working, just the graph is broken.

edit : problem appears to have gone away.  havent had any issues the past couple days... except with my fail contest entry :-P

how to use the algoritms is real life  trading ?

The next update will add real trading feature. Meanwhile, you can run any algorithm using simulated trading account. For example, this code https://cryptotrader.org/backtests/PqS7WC4NXv6PiF3RD sends an alert to your email upon EMA crossovers when being run in the trading mode.

for what it's worth, the following is the same as my actual entry for the contest, but with added round debug info.

https://cryptotrader.org/traders/q75spqHf6SWTDaid9

Strategy is the same, but I found being able to step through the rounds and review what it was doing for each was enlightening.

example:
013-08-19 09:30 Trader started. Balance: 1000.00 USD
2013-08-19 09:45 ROUND ==> 1 | HOLDING: usd=1000  btc=0
2013-08-19 09:45 cciValue =13.65474704470624
2013-08-19 09:45 highRocValue = -8.403361344537785 | lowRocValue = -9.888532448760534
2013-08-19 09:45 high =118 | low =117.25 | close =117.39002

2013-08-19 10:00 ROUND ==> 2 | HOLDING: usd=1000  btc=0
2013-08-19 10:00 cciValue =9.35064812180757
2013-08-19 10:00 highRocValue = -9.075714285714298 | lowRocValue = -7.711210914329358
2013-08-19 10:00 high =117.91999 | low =117.1 | close =117.25

If you look at updated log, you will notice that the round counter has been reset. This happened because i restarted the trading engine after the software upgrade, so that all context data have been lost. Here's interesting problem - whether the engine should restore trader's context up on restart or not. That is not obvious to me.

I'm enjoying seeing the variety of styles people use, both from a technical standpoint, and methodology standpoint.  Also nice being able to see real examples of specific methods in use.

Guess I'll have to be the first to submit for round 3, since my flight leaves tomorrow and I won't take my notebook with me  (and typing scripts for cryptotrader.org on a cell phone is kind of a tedious task ...)
So here we go:
https://cryptotrader.org/backtests/mwpRw9xgA7qbqt8x3

The basic idea was to have a 2h 10/21 EMA cross strategy, but use 1h candles and 20/42 EMAs instead to react faster to sudden price changes.
RSI and ADX help filter out false signals.
Had a few more ideas, but couldn't bring it all together in time, maybe next round.

Thanks for submission. Hope you are having a nice trip.

Just to remind everyone - the trading period starts in less than 2 days.
