Funny thing this is where it always comes down to, seems similar to early gpu miners where nobody was sharing this. Except this time these algorithms are also a fundamental part of our current financial fiat system and they are the most expensive piece of information there is....

CampBX has a spend x function that partially automates buying and selling, I dont know about mtgox though i dont trade there.

You should design it to work with campbx if possible.

The first thing I plan on doing is just setting up simple buy / sell points. I know you can already open orders via Mt Gox but this would keep it off the orders list so people don't know your intentions.

What features does it need most / what would you like to see?

Ideas:
- XMPP (Jabber) / SILC / IRC / AIM / libnotify notifications for buys / sells / trades / price points
- ncurses UI
- windows UI? (I don't do much windows stuff these days...)
- modular API support (adding a new trade market API would just mean coding the glue to use that API and all internal stuff would be standardised)
- order queueing (at 9AM, place an order to buy 10btc @ $10 USD)

Let me know what you think! All suggestions / criticism welcome.
