i've made a small web interface for it.

i am not familiar with npm or node. so you have to install a few dependencies by hand (eg npm install express).

there are currently some drawbacks:
 - portfolio is only updated after a successfull buy or sell
 - web interface does work as soon as a the first advice is made.
 - only ema does work as the web if does show some internal data from it

i use it in "advanced mode" using data from mtgox and trading on mtgox and btce (but only with small amounts)

i did not test it with other configurations, so use it at your own risk (i am not responsiple for any losses etc).

as this is a pure personal project i dont think i'll make other extensions, but i am always open for suggestions

Woow this looks great! I am pretty sure we can use a lot of your code and put it into Gekko (if you don't mind).

So we are working on a new version for Gekko that has a plugin system which makes it easy to build stuff on top of Gekko. The demo server I built uses this system already.

It also uses websockets in favor of a rest style API. Though I am pretty sure we can leverage your code quite a bit (especially the frontend stuff) Smiley

Awesome stuff!
