I'm interested, i can chip in but i don't know how to code. I like to watching you guys Cheesy

Conversely, I can code, but am really poor (check my tipjar address in my sig if you don't believe me).

Matthew:out

Why don't you two join forces, ZirconiumX code & Mavi invest 0.1BTC and you split the winnings?

I'm up for it, not sure what Mavi thinks, though.

Could we have some sort of special stipulation to try and bring some novelty into the competition, for instance "Be as profitable as you can using the RSI indicator" or whatever?

Regarding the contest idea for the whole year 2013 I've suggested, how many of you are for it that we organize our own winning pool for it? We can each, for instance, give 0.1 BTC in the pool and if there are 10 of us that may make things interesting. I understand pulsecat for not willing to risk 2BTC again after 4 unsuccessful rounds, but we can make our own fun with this, and might actually learn something valuable for 0.1BTC invested. Please tell me what you think even if you are not for it.

great idea! count me in for a contest beginning at 2014-01-01 and ending at 2014-12-31 (or for any other period, but more interested in a long time contest)

I suppose you've meant 2013, not 2014? It would be a bit too long to wait a whole year for the results Cheesy

nope, I meant 2014 of course. a one year lasting contest - the iron man of all automated trading contest

Sorry, to wait a whole year for a result is a bit too long for me. It's better idea to try one more month-long round IMHO. Let's see what others think. Maybe pulsecat offers to double the amount we collect Roll Eyes

For the entertainment of it, I implemented the "Turtle Trading System" into cryptotrader.org - buy if the price is under SMA(20), sell if it is over SMA(20).

https://cryptotrader.org/backtests/c8ns6TX7DRgXQnwDT

So, I challenge everyone, who can make the most money per line of code? (Whitespace isn't counted)

EDIT: using a 20-period VWAP, is a) shorter and b) more profitable. https://cryptotrader.org/backtests/mgp7yNAdknrCex3u3

Matthew:out

Nice one-liner with

Code:

avg = instrument.vwap(20)

, can't get shorter than that, you win Grin

Don't have an idea what "Turtle Trading System" is, off to read some google links to find out.

Right, the goal of the contest was to find out what strategies could outperform B&H in the short term, because obviously in the long term it is less profitable than even basic strategies. But i really like the idea of donation-based contest and can help with organization if there are enough people willing to join in.

Well, Round 4 is over.

We couldn't ask for a better chance, had two big price dips and nobody properly handled it.

May I suggest something for (eventual) future round: Maybe the wining algorithm should be the one which handles the whole year 2013 best? I know that comparing past instead of future performance opens the way for cheating, but any references to specific date or price should be forbidden. IMHO the algorithm which is most profitable in the very long term is the most valuable to everybody.

Can someone explain me this?
What difference between "Buy and Hold" and single Buy and Hold made in this simulation?

I had a typo when calculating buy and hold -- I entered 0.95 to account for the fee instead of 0.995.

Isn't it obvious? The real "Buy and Hold" means buying for full USD position, not only 1/4 of it.
