Hey Guys, I'm building a trading bot! I'm going to use the Bittrex API and see if I can have some minty, schwifty gains. Now, I'm not gonna share my strategies/algorithms right now, but if I do see substantial gains, I'm going to keep everyone updated and will eventually share the logic behind it. Bittrex is currently on version 1.1, so I an imagine this API will only get better and better as Bittrex grows and maintains itself over the year/coming years. If you're a developer, this may be a good time to begin experimenting with it.
Bittrex has a set of API methods for both public information and private information. Methods specific to your private key are things such as limit buys, limit sells, cancels, getting open orders, getting your balances/a specific crypto balance, getting your deposit address, withdrawing, looking at a specific order by it's uuid, getting order history, and getting withdrawal/deposit history. Public data includes getting the price/ticker metrics of a given currency/all currencies, getting the order book, getting market summary, and getting market history. All data returned is of type application/JSON and goes over https.
I'm finishing up a Java-based RESTful Client (I'm just most comfortable and productive in that language) that will be automated and fully run on the algorithms employed to govern its logic to see if I can get some good returns, then will probably move to Python and/or JavaScript-only. I'll tell you my thoughts on why I think we're still in a stage of growth in the crypto market where I believe that a retail trader's bot can still have an even field once I roll this out and see how it is performing. I'll also release the source on GitHub eventually if it goes well (after I make a little cash, of course haha) so that people can try it out and see how it goes for them!
This will be my first bot I've ever made for trading and I hope it goes well! :)
Do you have experience with bots? Have you seen good returns from them?
AS ALWAYS, WISHES OF WEALTH AND HEALTH FOR ALL! :)
