Trade on surges detected at BitTrex
Have you ever woken up, logged into BitTrex, and saw something like this:
and then you asked yourself: "what could I do to wake up to profits like this".
If so, then SurgeTrader is for you!!!
SurgeTrader allows you to find what market(s) has had the greatest % growth over a period of time. It presumes that the coin with the greatest % gain will go up even more in the near or distant future.
Install python-bittrex from this github instead of PyPi.
pip install -r requirements.txt
in the src directory, mybittrex.ini should have key and secret in it like so
[api]
key = asdfa8asdf8asdfasdf
secret = 99asdfn8sdfjasd
Create 1 cron entry that downloads the market data every hour (or whatever sample period you like) and then scans for the coin with the strongest surge and buys it.
00 * * * * cd $ST/src/ ; $PY download.py; $PY scan.py --buy 1
Creat another cron entry that sets a profit target on the successful buys
*/5 * * * * cd $ST/src/ ; $PY takeprofit.py --percent 10
Account balance = $1000
2% = 20
1% gain on 2% of the account = 20.20
therefore you are making 20 cents per trade
50 trades in a month = 10 dollars profit
10 dollars is 1% of 1000 -> 1% gain on the account
Therefore taking 50 2% trades and setting a 1% profit margin (ignoring fees)
-
Move percentage of BTC to trade on each run to config file.
-
Take profit right after successful buy. There is no reason for takeprofit.py to exist separately: just edit scan.py and have it take the profit!
