Topic: ZeroGox - Hosted MtGox trading bot - page 2. (Read 2009 times)
You no longer need a MtGox account to try it, check the simulation.log file if you run it locally or the Simulation tab in your Stats page on ZeroGox.
OK, just thinking out loud ...
In a bull market, its going to perform relatively badly because you should be invested in btc
In a bear market, its going to perform relatively badly because you should be invested in $
Volatile market?
Or I suspect I am missing the point completely of what this does .........
Anyway, I can't try it for a further 5 days because my mtGox account was shut down for 7 days because one of their stupid security cock-ups, so any reply in that time much appreciated.

Documentation says (very succinctly) this:
"Balancer
Portfolio rebalancing bot that will buy and sell to maintain a constant asset allocation ratio of exactly 50/50 = fiat/BTC."
Can someone explain in simplish terms why this is seen as a "good" strategy? Under what market conditions does it perform well? Anyone been using it the last few months?

The exact strategy is called "Constant-weighting asset allocation" in http://www.investopedia.com/articles/04/031704.asp and is defined as a "Constant ratio plan" here : http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/constant-ratio-plan.asp.
Fascinating stuff, all new to me. Problem is I understand EMA and some other technicals very well, but not "Constant-weighting asset allocation"
Guess I need to "play" to learn

Sorry, still lost me. "Balancer" is not a trading strategy you can look up on investopedia. Are you using EMAs? Something else?
They call it "rebalancing": http://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/rebalancing.asp
OK thanks. I'll read up on it at investopedia and also read more at goxtool.

The main strategy is the balancer which you can now fully simulate, so you can try it out without risking anything (quite fun actually). You get stats and graphs for both live and simulation logs on ZeroGox or separate raw logs using just goxtool and the strategy. It's also just a great interface for normal trading using the built-in dialogs. You can tweak the code while it's running inside your container and pretty much customize it however you want, but performance is limited so crazy algorithms won't work unless they're just as efficient. Make sure to read the GitHub page to learn about goxtool and the included strategies, then try it locally and/or on ZeroGox.
