Been trying out your site, created a simple algo, but got:

"TypeError: Uncaught, unspecified "error" event."

What am I supposed to do with this message?

Look over your code again. Usually that message means you are comparing a variable to something before you have assigned it a value - perhaps you typed blah instead of context.blah?

Bummer. Unbelievable bad luck, 4 too small candle rises and than one too big:
https://cryptotrader.org/backtests/XwFG3EnHdMyYDzANS
If any of these last 4/5 candles where a bit bigger it would buy for sure. Or a fifth bit smaller, a price was too high for $0.79 Roll Eyes

Well, maybe that was fair, there was nothing new in that algorithm, just the old algo from featured in Backtest optimized to try to beat B&H. But I have something completely new, can't wait if there's gonna be Round #5. What would you say if I tell you I've got the algo that wins both Round #2 & Round #3? Grin

Maybe you guys may still get this Buy&Hold bugger in this round? Good luck.

Be wary of the Gambler's fallacy, itod.

Past results give *zero* indication of what happens in the future...

As for me, I've got 4 or 5 different algos to play with. Or maybe I've just got one.

You'll have to wait and see.

I'm on the verge of buying again, need few stable 4-hour ticks till the end of the day to secure the lead and insure against large price surge. Here's the version with debug info:

Most algorithms there don't sell, so don't assume this is drawn.

I doubt I'll win this...

Matthew:out

We are all doing much worse than expected. Nobody got that selling point on Oct 16th right. Buy'n'Hold proves to be hard to beat. I think there's so much to learn about trading logic, maybe we just need some more competition rounds to have a chance to figure it out properly.

On inspection, I think pulsecat may have misunderstood my entry, which seems to be causing me a major headache.

My data was from the beginning of 2013 until now, which required 4h candles, since cryptotrader couldn't handle the 1h candles.

Because of how my EMA system worked, I only get "correct" entries from the October 17th 12:00 candle, by which point the bubble has disappeared.

Still, a retest at 1h candles makes me slightly worse off.

In the interests of progress, here is an experimental bot I worked on in the past, before giving up. Maybe the ideas behind it will inspire someone.

Yay! Thanks for the info

I was really "pissed" yesterday as the threshold went down to -0.374% - just 0.026% ahead of my selling point... and then it went up again.
So damn close Wink

I'll offer a BTC bounty to anyone who can create a modified Ichimoku Strategy that includes the Heikin-Ashi candlestick modification.

This would be a very beneficial indicator strategy to use on cryptotrader. I'd love to do this myself, unfortunately I don't know this scripting language well enough.

More details on this strategy and its differences and benefits can be found on the following page.

http://www.dailyfx.com/forex/education/trading_tips/daily_trading_lesson/2013/06/04/Ichimoku_Buy_AUDCAD.html

Here you go:

https://cryptotrader.org/backtests/f5quDEd3thWNZbshN

The Heikin-Ashi candles are the heikin_ashi_ variables. I didn't know what you wanted to do with them, so I just print them at the moment.

If you wanted to physically draw the candles, then speak to pulsecat.

sukiho's algorithm based on this is looking really, really good, came first in both backtests. Good luck to all contestants.

yes, but not so good on longer term tests, also not sure if it beat buy and hold. my feeling is that the btc market is changing quickly as it grows so long term isnt so important, and also there is a lot of luck involved. Diabolicus looks good to me at the moment as well

I think we need just one nice price drop during the contest period to beat buy & hold. It hasn't got to be like silkroad bust, but something similar would be nice Grin

Long term tests don't mean much IMHO, they have small resemblance to actual contest conditions.

Diabolicus came first also in some of my favorite test-periods, so you two guys are the favorites.
