Does anyone run their own trading bot? If so, can you share how much you make from it over time and how much is invested?
I'm strongly thinking of putting one together and have a strategy in mind.

I'm not asking anyone to share their strategy. Anyone that willingly gives that away is either a retard or trying to sell a bot that doesn't work. SAD!

$100 made 235% since 17 dec 2017

That's not bad. What impact did the January alt bull run have on those gains?

>> No.9375768

>>9375491
That is the btc impact - turns out the strat really loves the volatility. Have stored the alt data but not yet run against it.

Only a $100 initial capital though - my code needs ALOT of work. Example, doesn't yet handle auto kill when parameters are out of bounds.

I think two weeks. Gotta pay the bills the old fashioned way before I can spend time in the bot. How have you approached building yours?

>> No.9375890

>>9375852
Same way. Putting in a few hours every now and then. Still in the initial development stage as the OP indicates, so it seems pretty daunting

Cindicator Bot is getting more accurate.
I DMOR and use the bot and make about 15% a week.

I've tried paper trading but no matter what values I'd used, it's always in the red. Please tell me a working strategy. Thank you in advance.

You pay for a bot? Jeez, they can probably see your settings as well. Wouldn't be surprised if the devs filtered out the most profitable users and copied their strategies. Try to get a custom bot made there mate.
General question for this thread: What's the best place to backtest a trading strategy with technical indicators that allows me to import my own data? Are there any free tools or low-cost tools? I'd like to see if a strategy works quickly without having to write code to test it first. I have a stockpile of data waiting to be tested by the way.

There are millions of possible strategies, few of which actually make money. The essence of success is maths.

The basis of mine is simple. I wait until the price has fallen just a bit from where it is now (and so more likely to be in a dip), then sell when it rises 0.3% and pocket the 0.2% difference after fees etc. The trick is the maths: where should the stoploss be? And at what price should you chase the market up? Tbhfamalam there's no 'right' answer - everyone is different for what level of risk they'll take etc
