This is an experimental bot for swing trading against the bittrex exchange. Set an upper and lower percentage that will place buy / sell orders. When an order triggers, the bracket will shift basing off the last order.

This bot is designed to trade coins you currently have! At current, it does not support trying to trade on a currency of which you have a 0 balance.

Example: if you try to execute it on ZEC but have no ZEC coins, it will not work

Specal Options

• Leaving sell value and / or percent out of the config will disable placement of sell orders. Buys will still place and when they trigger, the bracket will still shift.
• Leaving buy value and / or percent out of the config will disable placement of buy orders. Sells will still place and when they trigger, the bracket will still shift.

The percentage values are actual percentages...not decimals. So if you want to trade 3.25% you would input 3.25 in that value. I would also not recommend going below 10 seconds for the checkInterval. Otherwise, it's possible to induce a race condition with bittrex.

the config file MUST be named botConfig.json

The bot is designed to trade a single token at a time. It's recommended to run it in the docker container. Docker will need to be installed prior to trying to run this. To install Docker, see their installation guide: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/ The docker image can be found at jufkes/bittrexBot

To run: docker run -d --name -v /path/to/directory_containing_config_file:/opt/bittrexBot/config jufkes/bittrexbot:latest

Example: docker run -d --name waves -v /opt/botdefs/waves:/opt/bittrexBot/config --restart always jufkes/bittrexbot:latest

-- The waves directory, in this case, contains the botConfig.json

Bots run without your intervention. It is recommended that you have a means to track your trades ergo, track the trades the bot is making for you. That is the same for this bot as well as any other bots you may try.

I track my trades using CryptoNotify. This tool can be setup to email executed trades or, as I prefer, send a message to a Slack channel.
