Please add KMD/BTC on Bittrex.

bx.in.th is a good idea as well. Please add this exchange.

I had a bad experience with algorithmic trading

Are you considering adding any new exchange integrations?

Please consider added us at https://bx.in.th/

Cryptotrader now allows automated real-time trading on Cryptsy with DOGE, Darkcoin and Vericoin https://cryptotrader.org/topics/764473/new-exchange-cryptsy

Cryptotrader now offers Live Trading Feature starting from just $10 / month https://cryptotrader.org/plans?r=bt

I'm glad to announce that Cryptotrader now has support for Kraken API https://cryptotrader.org/topics/199880/kraken-released

Great, thanks for the explanation and advice. 

Simulated trading feature allows you to practice with play money trading, whereas Automated trading bots trade with real coins. To purchase strategies you need any subscription plan, but i recommend to have at least Basic+ so that your bots can trade not only for play money but for coins too.

I've just joined the site, and I'm interested in upgrading so that I can purchase and use an existing strategy. What is the difference between "simulated trading bots" and "automated trading bots?" What level do I need to sign up for to be able to purchase a bot? Thanks.

Recent updates & features

- Strategy Market
As you may guess from its name, this feature introduces some kind of marketplace where trading bots can be bought and sold. So far almost 30 strategies have been listed, many of them are created by professional traders.

- Bitfinex
Currently only basic trading options are available (Exchange Market Order and Exchange Limit Order), but we will be looking to add support for extended Bitfinex features such as Leveraged Trading, so if anyone has experience with trading there please let us know what trading instruments you have used on Bitfinex.

I was set permission for trade only, so I go back and set permission for all and it work now. Thanks

What permissions are set for your key? Should be all permissions except deposit and withdrawals. Also don't forget to activate the key. If the problem still persists contact [email protected].

I try to start running my bot at BTC e and it keep saying invalid API key. I try over and over and create a new API key and it still doesn t take it. Is anyone know why

Yep. works now

Thanks for noticing this. Fixed.

Hm, hitting the Join button does nothing to me when i am logged in and it just opened only the register/login form when i am not logged in.

We've just launched Beta of Affiliate Program. Use this link https://cryptotrader.org/affiliates to join.

Hello,

I've created a fork of the original github project cryptrade because it's been abandoned.

If you don't know what cryptrade does, it is a bot that trades over the platform of cryptotrader.org. The project has been abandoned due the admin prefers focusing on his cloud project. He made this open source bot, but once he started making changes to the cryptotrader tick server, he did not apply these changes to the current bot.

I've changed some things, at least, to make it compatible to some of the last algorithms and I plan to add as many as possibilites that original project has.

I've added compatibility with Stats algorithm and added limit orders and timeouts to MtGox (at least, only tested with MtGox).

You can check my code and add improves, issues, etc. on

https://github.com/soltrac/cryptrade

TODO LIST:

Check CEX.IO, BitStamp, BTC-E
Add Serialization (very important)
Add Offset
Fix bugs, many

discussion topics disappeared?

yes: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cryptotraderorg-first-web-based-algorithmic-trading-platform-for-bitcoin-222696

anyone having a problem accessing the site?

And... now you gotta subscribe just to run backtests.

Lame.

My Bitstamp trader is working just fine, why?

Anyone been able to get bitstamp working with Crytotrader?

Interested and evaluating right now.

My trading bot seems stuck.

Insert in code counter.

init :
context.counter = 48

handle:
context.counter = context.counter - 1

if counter = 0
 buy or sell.

I'm trying to use a bot on Cryptotrader.org, but it will only really work effectively if I can set it "start" date to be a couple of months ago. Right now it's bouncing on the wrong side of the 1H EMA, so buying high and selling low. If I can have it's TRADING start date at "2013/11/01 8:00 PM" for example then it wouldn't be doing this.

If not, I'll have to leave it going for a few days to "grow into the pattern", but may miss out on some good opportunities.

Please tell me this is possible

Thank you

Had my first trade with CryptoTrader today, in my account it says it sold at 1030$ but My MtGox history says nothing was sold above 990$.

Any have a good bitstamp bot? i checked some forums and can't find a good one.

Having said that, it started okay, but it's been giving me 502 bad gateway nginx errors (in html!) for hours now :/



EDIT: And it's back! Let's see for how long...

I'm getting a bad gateway error with the standalone client:

It's only the Basic option that's disabled. Pro and VIP are still available.
(and if you can't spare $25 then you don't have enough for a bot to trade with)

They also disabled renewals. So even if you had a subscription you're SOL. Everybody should stop using cryptotrader if this is how they're going to handle paid subscriptions.

Thanks, I was able to use this modified code to correct my script and get it working.

This is awesome for a dyscalculic like myself who can read profits in a graph, but not in a faceful of numbers.

I'm backtesting on the cryptotrader site then running the coffees on the standalone cryptrade bot (for now).

I'm into cex.io since they have no trade fees, as a market with no fiat it doesn't panic hard, there's a very predictable gradual BTC/GHS downslope to try strategies on, and since their GHS mine while held, it's profit all over. Maybe.
So I'm predictably delighted to see a bot-and-backtest-website-combo working nicely with cexio.

Feature requests for cryptotrader/cryptrade: (mostly re cexio)

• 2+ Currencies/chart
A coffee script can already specify currencies, but to see multiple overlaid charts from one exchange would be great for exchanges that carry lots of currency pairings. Not only are there arbitrage loops that can be performed within a single exchange, but I'm sure there's a load of ways to carry value across more than 2 currencies and turn a profit.

• More trade pairs @ cexio (NMC/GHS, LTC/BTC)
GHS held at cexio mine BTC and NMC, so almost all users should run a buy-and-hold bot instance to trade all mined NMC for GHS.
I'm doing just that with a kludged python hackbot of my own design, and doing so currently increases GHS by about 1%/day.

• More decimal points available when bot trades
cexio trades up to 8 decimal places. Bot does trades as intended but leaves leftovers in both GHS and BTC balances. This persists even if min_order is lowered. A little GHS held at all times is technically good since it's mining, but the bot should be able to use the whole balance.
Cexio does sometimes report tiny numbers as maths like 4e-7, and although the bot sees them fine, it doesn't trade the whole balance.

Enough wishlisting. Big up pulsecat for keeping the github bot opensource, and double big up for running it as a site/community so we can share and test strategies.

I'm reluctantly using Cryptotrader-VM after I found cryptrader wouldn't install (no keys.cson after npm install, MacOSX+Mavericks, other npm things like gekko install fine), but it's in nederlands language and keyboard layout, so that was a painful time fixing those. I'll be posting on my blog about it, but rest assured the bottom line will be "if you're serious about running a bot, this method is painful. Buy it."

U need coffeescript script for that.
Sample script very simple.

Nice service I already bought one Pro subscription, let's see how that works.

One question:

If I run multiple bots on the same exchange (same account), is there a way to limit each one at a specific max balance (USD & BTC) that they can use? Because I see the predefined ones just take in account the entire available balance when they start.

Yup,.. seems like they are off for the holidays. Looks like im gonna check another option then.

By the way, what about support for cryptsy?

Any new scripts thats working?

tried to register,

"We're sorry. New subscriptions are not available at this time."

I have played with the balancerbot python script, as well as the Toblibot and Butterbot.  And I must say, the one thing that Butterbot has that I would have expected cryptotrader to have is a very simple time offset.  How soon can we expect this to be added?  I just signed up, and I would love to stick around.  But you guys really need to add a time offset -- something to random up the bots running on similar strategies.  There's a pile-on effect happening due to there not being a time offset, and it's quite noticeable if you watch the corresponding depth tables.  I realize there's a stand-alone client, and that will permit you to run on your own local time if you use it.  But what about the web-based users?  Most of them won't necessarily know how to install a VM or install from a GIT.

try this. modify.

Thank you for the help.
However it still fails to open when the "if short > long and  context.buy_price = 0" is included.
I can remove and  context.buy_price = 0 and the buy is executed however than the buy_price does not seem to be held because a sale is executed at less than the buy_price.

Right code. Need more checks. only for sample

I am trying to do something similar and build on a simple script.
However no matter what I do I can not keep the instrument.price stored.


#Simple buy and sell over price with EMA
init: (context)->
    context.buy_price = 0

handle: (context, data)->
    instrument = data.instruments[0]
    short = instrument.ema(9)
    long = instrument.ema(19)
    plot
        short: short
        long: long
    if short > long
        buy instrument #works up to here
        context.buy_price = instrument.price #The sell fails by not selling the instrument over the (purchased) price
    else if  context.buy_price > (instrument.price*1.01)
        orderId = sell instrument

I assume it has to do with the iff statements, because I can get the sell to work but then the buy just buys as soon as the script starts.
Thanks for any ideas and help.

At a guess, it seems to take a bit of time when initializing the api for the first use. Either that, or it's waiting for your bots schedule to kick in. Leave it alone for a day and hopefully it will clear up like it did for me.

same issue here. What does it mean?

Also, it would be nice if there was some sort of notification when my subscription expires instead of all my stuff just dropping offline!

Very upsetting.

What's the story with the never ending status circle?

If I developed a successful trading algorithm, what's stopping Cryptotrader.org from copying it and using it for themselves, at my expense?

same as backtesting

I'm new to algo trading so need to ask a basic question that I have not seen an answer to on these threads or on the forum.  I have not upgraded to live trading yet so cannot see the how to set that up.  The API says the Handle event is called on each bar event.  When are bar events for live trading?  Are they set up the same as backtesting (i.e. user configurable) or are they for each movement in trading price on the exchange?

1 min interval can be used for trading with MtGox.


https://cryptotrader.org/topics/727237/how-do-i-create-and-backtest-my-own-algorithms

May seem a silly question but I searched and searched the site and I found nothing.

How do I backtest my own algorithms? I can only test other people algos, can't find any way to make my own.

5 min. its a minimum interval between trades ?
Why not 1 min ?
Russian support thread ?

Awesome!  Signed up today, created a trader.  It was very easy!  Thanks for this service
Using a small amount for trading at first, lets see where this ride takes us!

https://Bitcoin-Cigarettes.com

Thanks for feedback. Live trading is available for paid subscription only, though in my opinion the rates are very affordable for such kind of service.

nice service ... i'test now with a very small amount on gox. it will trade with no upgrade ... ? or only simulate ...

I trade on hourly time frame. From the chart you can see that GHS/BTC is downtrending so don't expect bot to trade actively until the market bounced back.
An order was not placed because 0.0002 GHS is very small amount - it is just 0.0000188 BTC. Minimum order amount for CEX.IO is set to 0.01 GHS.

What time period are you using? I'm using 1 hour and it hasn't made any trades today except this morning/last night with a sell at 0.0944 from a buy of 0.0974.

It may have gotten stuck as there was some ghs left that didn't sell for some reason, does it not buy until all ghs is sold?

2013-11-11 05:02 SELL order #7290762 amount: 0.0328 GHS @ 0.0944
2013-11-11 05:02 SELL order #7290762 traded. Balance: 0.0002 GHS (0.0000 BTC) 0.6203 BTC
2013-11-11 06:00 SELL order wasn't created because the amount is less than minimum order amount

EMA definitely works because today my bot on CEX.IO made few bucks on account with a small deposit of 0.5 BTC.

It should work, but i can't provide exact instructions because i dont have access to windows machine. Most likely you will need to have Visual Studio C++ compiler installed.


Thanks for your feedback. Could you suggest some readings about the simulation method based on a seed?


Some interesting algos can be found here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=261086.160

where can I find algorithms to test?

Greetings!

Is there any way to create synthetic data (BTC candles created based-on a seed) in order to backtest and simulate trading strategies?

e.g. that way we could simulate something like 100 years of BTC prices generated by a seed that contains the prices of BTC since 2011 to nowadays.

BTW, great application. Very well done.

Keep up the great work!

Does your standalone client work on windows?

Are there any other scripts that work with CEX trading other than the default EMA 10/21? I tried running backtests on some of the scripts posted in the contest but they all showed 10-20% losses on CEX. So far it seems like the default EMA 10/21 with 1hr is the only semi profitable one.

Good! This seem to integrate easily, has syntax highliting for CoffeeScript:
http://ace.c9.io/#nav=production
It doesn't have to be fullscreen, just a bit bigger vertical size to see more of the code.

Xpm/btc
and any other would be nice that way i can have more then a trade a day . And so far very good great bot made 40$ in 2 days with simulation of course just testing out the water but will put in some money next week

It won't be easy to integrate that preprocessor tool, as it's server side not client side. What about adding fullscreen feature to the editor?

Code in the editor becomes really cluttered when many classes handling different indicators are in it, which is really necessary if you are trying to develop successful mulch-indicator strategies. Much time is spent scrolling up/down in the editor. Would you consider using something like this https://github.com/fairfieldt/coffeescript-concat so code can be structured a bit and easier to work with? I know it would complicate the editor/saving work, etc, but it would be worth the effort.

Thanks for feedback! Which alt currencies are you interested to trade with?

very nice i will join today have been looking for something like this for a long time also when will you add more currencies for btc-e i like trading alt coins

Yes i cant do any simulation. I would really be interssted in LTC because i got more LTC.

Thank You

The problem occurs only with LTC on BTC-e? Thats strange, i will be looking into it.

Thanks for the link again.

I registred now and planned to upgrade, but when i'm testing anything with LTC/USD or LTC/BTC on BTC-e i can't find any Featured strategy that works.

Any help?

Regards
