Hi,

I'm a newbie at crypto day trading and stock trading in general, been at it for two weeks, made a few gains, a few losses. Been doing trading on Bittrex mostly, though I've also used Cryptopia. Guess I'll try asking you guys on this thread instead of creating a new thread.

I've just heard about bots and got interested on the subject... however most of them seem too complicated and have too much features for me (all that market analysis stuff), besides they seem to take away all of the control and fun of trading. The kind of tools and features I'm looking for seems to be far simpler, yet no exchange seems to offer them - so I'd have to resort to some sort of bot.

All I want, at first, is a bot that simply allows me to set both "sell high" and "sell low" order values for cryptos I own - let's say for example I own 5 LTC currently priced at 0.009 BTC each. I'd like to have a bot that would connect to my Bittrex account through API and monitor the LTC rates, then place an immediate sell order of all my LTC in case the price went down to 0.008 BTC (as an obvious stop loss measure), AND also have it simultaneously programmed to place an immediate sell order in case the price went up to 0.010 BTC so I'd make a profit (obviously one order when performed would cancel out the other). Without a bot, using the trading tools on the exchanges themselves I can only do one or the other but not both, unless I missed something. I also could of use a feature where I'd program the bot to buy more of a coin / token in case the price goes down to a set value again, and resell it in case it goes up or down. So, nothing too complex.

I'd like to know if there's a free bot that's able to do what I describe... or in case I'd need to pay for one, which one would be the easiest, most reliable and user friendly for doing what I ask for. CAT and Cryptotrader seem too complicated for something so simple, but I'd be willing to try them and learn them if there's no other option.

I've been doing my research and found out that Coinigy (a platform, not a bot) has most of the features I've been looking for and they work well.

It's not free, though. There's a 30-day free trial period and after that you have to pay 15 USD/month. Still looking for some free alternative. Suggestions, please?

I was actually thinking of creating a free alternative to Coinigy that would work in parallel with the bot my team is developing (http://crabby.io/). Do you think you would be interested in an application that would do something like that? Also, what features do you like / dislike on Coinigy?

Of course I'd definitely be interested, provided the app is stable and reliable of course. In this field I believe these are the most important things.

Like explained in my previous posts, I started using Coinigy mostly so I could set stop loss orders, since the Exchanges I'm using (Bittrex and Cryptopia) don't have this basic feature built in. Sometimes I also like using Coinigy to send buy orders only when they reach a set value on the Exchange so they won't show up in the Exchange's order book. So these basic features would be a must. More complex semi-auto trading features, such as for example automatically setting a new stop loss value once an asset raises in price up to a set value, would be very desirable.

As for things that could be improved, well, Coinigy charts are fine but Tradingview charts are much better and they're what I actually use to monitor the markets. So it would be nice if the charts were as similar and efficient as Tradingview as possible.

I'd really love to see both your bot and your program offering support for more Exchanges such as Bittrex and Cryptopia since I can't use Poloniex (looks like they banned my ISP or my country's ip range).

Like I said, I'm a newbie and pretty basic user, so with time I'll probably find more things that I like or that I think could use improvement with Coinigy.
