Hey guys, here's my submission for the investment plan bounty. A publicly traded business could quite easily be generated that uses its strategy.

http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=ema-volatility_trading_algorithm_for_bots

It's the description and algorithm of a trading bot I've developed and have been using for bitcoins for a few months now with some success. It's intended to work with a bot but can be run manually if you're crazy enough.

I read it, thankyou

I even understood it!

I am brand new to trading - even the thought of entering an arena where the principles involve taking advantage of another's loss in order to be successful, makes me feel a bit sick - but if I can set a bot to handle it as a mathematical decision a bot made, not a bitch move I made, well then lookout world!

Ahma gonna become me a trader!

Is there a noobs guide to trading bots for devcoin? I found some articles on Devtome but they do all seem to come from a platform of prior knowledge. My entire knowledge of "bots" became defunct when MSN shut their chatrooms Tongue

Bots are generally closely guarded secrets because they're so powerful. They take away the emotions of trading, so you can set a strategy and just let it go. Smeagol's given me a good idea on how to release it, though. I doubt there will be much on devtome about them yet.

The thing with markets is you'll never know if you're actually taking advantage of fear or if you're simply providing liquidity (ie someone is genuinely purchasing/selling them for an intended use). It's a bit like how some countries have the practice where there's only one real bullet in a firing squad, so no individual shooter knows if they were the one that took the life.

Ok, I think a bounty site is a good idea and deserves a bounty.

... I know dalamar's already working on something, but I'm not dalamar so seems ok to propose it... I'll also contribute 500k of my own dvc if it's not objected to.

You have my agreement. As it is already done Dalamar would be able to tell the time involved and what bounty he feels his time is worth. If there are no objections to that amount then that should be the bounty he receives. If there is objection... well let's see if there is no objection first.

I third/fourth this bounty, too. I'm all for more time-efficient ways of managing things
