How about backtesting the strategy itself first? If you don't know how, search for "backtesting" and your program language and you will find a tool or module or whatever.
Then do not forget to test it in bearish and bullish markets. Only if both results are okay, you should run it on an real exchange.

Same time period, same coin, after a little correction to enter more orders:

it just bought against a sell order of eth/btc for 1.2% profit (~4% with margin) while a trailing stop order remains to catch the rest of the ride Smiley

Hey,

I created a Poloniex bot that notices which two Fibonacci levels are below last traded price, then creates stop limits for itself to enter a % of funds into.

Wanting to drive more profits, I re-wrote it to function on Bitfinex and take advantage of those high-volume margin pairs, where it can short sell against the two next Fibb levels above the last traded price.

I've been running it ~40 hours here:

https://bfxfibbmonster.herokuapp.com/

and it's seen returns of between 1-5%. It's currently sitting at PL (since done with fake orders): 1.93471036%. Note that it loses ~0.20-0.40% per trade balance on entering/closing trades as the fees hit. The highest I've seen it since I stopped mucking with the trades was PL (since done with fake orders): 4.95378418%  but then I closed some out @ market.

It's hardcoded to shut down orders that experience a Stoploss of 7% (which remains nearly untested), it trades half the buy/sell at the next fibb level and enters a trailing stop for the other 1/2 at a random % between 1-4.

I'm wondering if I can convince anyone out of the community to sign up to Bitfinex (once I have an affiliate link) and trade more substantial balances to fully test the bot (as right now it runs out of funds before it can execute against all the orders it wants to make). Other than the first few users testing, the rest can enjoy gains from the bot while I gather affiliate revenues. I hear from reddit that affiliate signups receive % off fees for a month and I enjoy lifetime revenues. I can't seem to find information about people who want to sign up to additional accounts on bfx, so I'd prefer only providing the bot to those that can sign up and pass KYC.
