Do any of the api functions calculate first and second derivative? All the talibs that I looked at had weird names.

Well, I'm not an expert in Ta-lib, so i can't really help. These links might be useful

Thanks for that link, figured out my problem. But I found a stupid error in my code! I'll just have to hope that BTC dips in the next few days.

lol not gonna lie one bit... I kinda feel a bit dense and ham-fisted comparing mine to the others submitted Roll Eyes

Some day I'll write decent code... some day

If it works it works!

I meant to ask earlier -- are there switch/case statements in this language?

CoffeeScript provides all of JavaScript's functionality and it has great documentation http://coffeescript.org/#switch

Ok, I'll throw mine in now. Didnt have as much time as I thought to play with it Undecided

Anyway, half arsed attempt at following a really short ema slope's rate of change, and direction change.
Thought process was the rate of increase / decrease would have to slow down before it switches direction. Watch for the slow-down in the rise or fall and buy/sell when the direction change happens.

30 min window.

Do you have to sell at the end, or can your end balance be in BTC?

You don't have to sell. Conveniently, the resulting amount of BTC will be displayed in USD.

Can you only access the price data within the testing time frame (7 days)?
It might not be enough data to bootstrap some indicators until they are reliable

At the start, each algorithm is pre-initialized with 100 bars of history trading data. This should be enough for most indicators. If not, please let us know.

Everyone trying hard not to blink before 07/28 23:59 GMT, huh? Grin

Here's my first entry: https://cryptotrader.org/backtests/6hHNDRtRmy5j9mAnP

Basic 1hr EMA cross strategy, combined with a more or less elegant RSI implementation to filter out weak signals.
There's also a rudimentary stop loss and trailing stop loss which I find quite useful.
It took me a while to get the hang of this whole scripting thing (after all I'm an architect, not a programmer), so I left in a few comments and unused indicators that might be useful to others.
I left in my statistics summary, too. Maybe someone else can improve the code and pulsecat can add such a statistic as a default output? Feel free to canibalize!

Now let's see if MACD and MFI or CCI can be more efficient.

A good example of how various TA-Lib indicators can be used. And i agree that reporting needs to be improved. Thanks.

Rebalancing strategy.

I want to be tested in 5 min intervals.

Such a high frequency strategy is something fresh. You are in!
