Poloniex TradingBot

This is a Proof of Concept Crap [honestly], still in development, do not use in production with lots money!

I have made some improvements to the initial code. I am still not certain if this this bot actually makes money or not.

Update: Added some static python function/files to do things like get balances, generate new deposite addresses, grab your trade history, and get the current market charts. They are 'extras' and are not used in the actual TradingBot.py program.

Update: The bot does profit in upward trending markets, so that is a good start.

Project Goals:

• To create a poloniex trading bot that uses simple math to trade across poloniex's btc and usdt markets.
• Create a poloniex api wrapper tool (to generate a new deposite address, or grab balances, etc)
• In progress: Finish creating (a) function(s) that checks if at any given moment it is profitable to buy from a usdt market and sell to btc market
• or vice versa, this also should work on other markets such as ETH/ETC or LTC/XMR , say buy from BTC/ETH when it's cheaper

Usage:

First, create a poloniex API key and add your secret and key to the config file `api_conf.py`.

Next, install the requirements:

(You need the good poloniex api : [https://github.com/s4w3d0ff/python-poloniex] and termcolor, see the requirements.txt.)

pip install -r requirements.txt

Finally, try a dry run to see the bot in action
