What the bot has been thinking

How it works

  • Every hour it wakes up and checks the price of Bitcoin in pounds.
  • It looks at 4-hour price "candles" and works out two averages: a short-term one (last 20 candles, about 3 days) and a long-term one (last 50, about 8 days).
  • Short above long means the price is trending up, so it holds Bitcoin. Short below long means it's trending down, so it sells and holds cash.
  • Every trade pays a 0.40% fee plus 0.10% for the price moving slightly, just like real trading.
  • It's all pretend: it only reads public prices and has no access to any real account.
