This is something I've been wanting to do for a while: an automated trading bot that watches exchanges & uses various indicators to make trades based on a logic I program in. The exchanges make the mechanics of this relatively easy by providing APIs. The hard part is massaging the available data into useful information, and writing robust, profitable trading logic. I'm not terrible at day trading myself, but I'm out of practice, so figuring out a good strategy will be challenging in itself, aside from the challenge of translating it into code. I expect it will lose money for a while to begin with.
So far I'm just pulling data from a couple exchanges and graphing a few things to get a feel for it. I'm not yet sure which indicators I want to use. As a starting point I might use a combination of moving averages, volume, rate of change gradients, and price differences between exchanges.
Would love some suggestions / feedback.
