Hi. I'm not sure if this is the best forum to post this, but I thought I'd post the source code for an experiment I did with a bitcoin trading algorithm. It doesn't make money but maybe people would be interested in it. It was designed to use the old trade hill API. That part would need to be changed to test it out. I tried changing it to use MtGox but the MtGox had some sort of firewall that I had no idea how to pass.

I used OpenCL to check many trading strategies on previous price data to make a guess as to the best future trading strategy. It used three technical indicators. The RSI one didn't seem to do much but the PPO indicator and the PM one which I think I invented myself (variation on price momentum) gave the best results (though still not good enough to make a profit). It was an interesting experiment.

Please don't try using it with a live account unless you actually get it to make money which I doubt would be very easy.
