I set up a few automated charts here for anyone interested:
http://ripple.tech-trader.net/?pair=BTC-USD

Main value of the algos there are the trendlines and support/resistance drawing, which are strength-weighted based on how well the levels are tested. I'm also working on a few automated strategies for the trading itself if anyone's interested in collaborating.

I'm mainly watching to see if the support at $550 holds. If not, I'd expect a test of the next closest trendline below that.

The buy signal from Tech Trader a few days back ended up working quite well. Is anyone else taking an automated approach to this?

I think the divergence pattern was obvious and didn't need any tools. The eye looking at raw price and volume is the best tool.

The point of my post was that the automation is good enough to catch and trade these setups on its own. I didn't mean you needed it as a crutch to guide your trading. That's not what it's meant for. I was asking if anyone was doing anything like this as well (fully automated swing trading, not just using tools). My own trading is still often better than the automation, but it's nice to know I can walk away if I needed to or focus on other things with my time.

I'm looking into writing a trading bot, but I don't know how to make one yet, I'm trying to learn it. I don't trust third party bots so I want to make it myself.

Don't. They cannot see what people can see. Trade yourself, even if it's two trades a day. You're so much better on your own than using bots.

Well, more correctly i was thinking about an arbitrage bot, which do not really need market knowledge that much, they only have to know if the arbitrage will be profitable or not.
