I'm building a trading bot (ruby) that uses a collection of signals to trade. I have been working on the backtesting to do validation of different strategies across different pairs and intervals. The highest i've gotten it so far is 120X from start of LTC/BTC, but thats also on a fairly aggressive setting (and obviously idealistic); SMA can work, but it can also bite you. I think using only 1 technical indicator is asking for trouble when determining entry. Use at least 2, but no more than 5 or 6. As a software developer, its a cool field to tinker in. But theres lots of ignorance, hype, and crap. For anyone who wants to build a simple bot, checkout gekko https://gekko.wizb.it https://gekko.wizb.it
