Maybe this is the wrong section, but I think you guys can help me here. I want to make a trading bot that will execute trades based on parameters I set according to technical indicators. Thing is, I have almost zero experience with coding. I don't just want to use someone else's code though, I want to build this from scratch, using custom and unique indicators. Is there any resource that I could use that would teach me how to go about creating and implementing this bot?

I have already written one, its called bitperl.pl but atm is a private only release.
On a good day it earns 0.7% of capital.
What about a bad day?
The worst Ive seen is it flat line waiting to sell coins for 4 days (back when he had a good sized slump to 4.60). Once the price came back to normal it resumed its micro trading.
Currently supports:
- Simulations
- Uploads charts output of: profit ph, profit total, buy, sell, target, target break even. Example:
- Logs historical Data. (for simulations)
- The most basic buy low sell high algorithm (more coming).
- Forcing a sell/buy remotely.
- tweets changes and transactions: https://twitter.com/#!/bitperl
- Factors MTGOX transaction charges
Todo:
- Nicer web UI
- modular trading algo's
Good luck with your trading bot
My advice is thread or daemonize everything to avoid any lag between transactions and mtgox live price.
I used to have everything pushed into a single loop - was easy to follow but a simple tweet was enough to miss a good price.
