"40 lines of JS definitely scare me"
Me too.
I suppose it depends how you want to treat this though.
As a bot programming challenge this seems fair enough. As something to entrust your or others life savings with? No.
- gridlockd 7y ago> As something to entrust your or others life savings with? No. As first rule, you shouldn't entrust anyone's life savings with a single trader. Forty lines of Javascript to me is far less scary than 40,000 lines. At least with forty lines, I can easily tell what the hell it is trying to do. In this case, it's just example code on how to use the API. Its "strategy" is to attempt to buy low and sell high. It doesn't really get any simpler than that.
- benj111 7y agoI was thinking more of the concept than this particular implementation. This is basically a minimum viable product for others to play around with. If that playing leads to bot trading competitions, fine. If it leads to someone building a 40k line monster and thinking it might be a good idea to entrust it with a meaningful proportion of anyone's savings.... No.
