I've coded a bot that relays these signals to me so that I don't have to do this manually.. but you don't need a fancy bot at all really.. I started out copying and pasting into a simple Excel spreadsheet.. If you do this long enough, you'll be able to anticipate moves just by assessing the order book and volume levels on the actual exchange.
...

Share more about your bot? Are you getting the date from individual exchanges or using some aggregator?

The Data is pulled from coinmarketcap.com

I only pay attention to two variables. Trading Volume and Market Cap.

a spike in Volume tells me when to get into a trade, a spike in Market Cap (during a rally - and you WILL notice it) tells me when to get out.

I don't use any indicators or anything like that.

Also, you can tell so much about where a market is heading - just by looking at the order book.


How do you get the data? Json, scrape the html?

I found info on json feeds for individual coins but can't figure out the global json feeds.

I've built a program in VBA that extract information from coinmarketcap.com
I'm still giving the final touches to it, and then going to upload for everyone.

I'ts quite helpful to see every coin you want, the volume and marketcap variations, you can spot some moves before other traders.

I was hoping for some raw json. Trying to avoid parsing the html.

EDIT-- Found json sources:

Change bitcoin to the coin you like. 7d, 30d, 90d, 180d, 365d are all valid periods. Do not be too surprised if hitting this non-public api gets you IP banned.
