CrypToad

A cryptocurrency trading algorithm utilizing Shrimpy's universal API built to linearize randomness in the market.

Rationale

Instead of building a trading algorithm to predict the market, I wanted to try to build an algorithm to react to the market. This way, very little data is needed to determine actions.

Steps to Start

1. https://github.com/tbaumer22/cryptoad.git
2. cd cryptoad
3. npm install
4. Configure
5. npm start

Configuration

The configuration of this bot uses an environment file. After cloning, add a .env file to the repository root and fill in the data shown in .env.example

Why Toad?

The graph of this algorithm is modeled to resemble the path of a hopping frog. Frog does not blend well with crypto, but toad does.
