I have been using Zenbot for the last year. Started off testing several of the included strategies, but couldn't find anything comfortably consistent, so I started creating my own. 9 months later, I have a stable and moderately profitable strategy. I know it can be better, and am working on several alternatives to the trend algorithm, and a graphing update to the bot (to better see what it is doing). I have extensive logging, so I can already get a good idea of what is going on, but having it actually graphed will make it clearer.

My strategy uses a combination of Stoch and MFI indicators for decision making, a homebrew SMA algorithm for trend determination (which modifies the Stoch and MFI thresholds), and a homebrew spike/dip algorithm to quickly react to large and fast changes (overrides all other decisions).

I find the sims useful for testing certain aspects, and particularly for finding algorithm errors.
However, they are rather inaccurate for gauging profitability. For that I do live testing with a few hundred dollars (I find paper trading to be somewhat inaccurate also, particularly for Coinbase).
