This bot doesn't work so well when there is an upward trend like the unprecedented rise we've been seeing this last 4-5 weeks.

I'd suggest you wait until BTC stays within +/-5% over the course of a week, then I'd use the bot.

That's for sure.

I watched it buy at 36.00 - saw 49.00 - the bot just ignored the major crash (33.30) and didn't sell till it was back up to 41.50.

Then the bot bought at 44.75 and just now sold at 41.17 (loses never heard of when this bot was written i.e. btc at 5.04 - hehe)

I am currently modifying the code to make trades every 15 minutes (if necessary) in a fast moving market. It will take weeks to see if this will work.

I am following this thread since a few days so there are still people interested

.

I am currently testing this bot with 200 dollars. It has bought me the coins @ $43 and still holds. We'll see where it goes.

Seems like a dead thread, but if anyone's interested...

I tested the bot with 1000 dollars. It bought BTC at 36.00 (blue arrow) and successfully allowed MtGox to rally up to 49.00 and has not sold those coins as of yet - at 39.00

I wonder what the benefit is? The lines for both moving averages have converged. I am letting it go to see if it ever sells? Or maybe only after a loss has occurred.

The chart for today.

Any chance of this being made to work with the Parabolic SAR?

Well the bot has lost me 6% in over ten weeks of use. A good idea but never mind Sad

another question, how often is the bot supposed to buy/sell stuff? it's been running for 2 days and it didn't do a single trade yet, even though the EMAs were perfect and it had a few really good opportunities

When the threshold changes beyond the inverse 0.25%. So if your in dark green you need it to go to over red 0.25% if your in dark red you need it to go to over green 0.25%.

I have a weird bug with it. Every once in a while the bot says "troubles accessing your account", even though the api key and api secret are filled out. Then I go check the options page, and I don't even change anything and just click "Apply and save changes" and it somehow fixes it, but then 1 or 2h later the bot is broken again. What could be doing this?

mtgox has a default timeout period which is less than an hour I think. Go into settings and make it over an hour, or the next timestep up from your bot trading time. That should help.

So I'm down 1% after using the bot for over five weeks. Well it will be the three month mark before I decide on putting real money on the bot or not.

Edit: Maybe six months?

Definitely. Can't expect this bot to put on winning trades all the time (or even all that often) - should make good money when it does though.

nm. I thought you were being sarcastic in your previous post. (If I would have made the same statement I would have been)

so i'm no longer sarcastic, but stupid? ^^

Hey, more power to you if your rigs are stable. But it just seems like an unnecessary potential point of failure.

that is true. my rig has been running for 8 months now with not a single reboot.

Don't mind me.

Would it be too big a stretch to enable it to run in Chrome's background tasks as opposed to having the browser open 24/7?
