I'm a trader who wants to spend less time glued to the pc screen making manual trades. What programming language should I learn?
I got recommended python by a normie but I was also told I would be lucky if I could make a functioning bot under 6 months. That sounds too much.
Any better and/or faster alternatives? don't know how to program shit

almost guaranteed you'll find tons of outdated or pisspoor open source ones
taking their framework and putting your algos in there might be much faster.
if there is one rule in programming that you need to know its "don't reinvent the wheel" - someone else has already solved 95% of your problem to copy-paste.
I think you would do better to program the bot in x86 assembly or Haskell than python, python is not noob-friendly
This, and make sure you don't use a network protocol stack made by someone else, you want to have control over every bit in your communication with the server
kek
really interesting idea!Thanks a lot After some googling I found this gekko.
gekko.wizb.it
seems decent enough?
yes python will be the easiest to program with, using rest APIs, fix APIs,
full of ready libraries, like matplotlib for charts, selenium webdriver for scraping dynamic websites, youtube_dl to download videos from many platforms, etc
for maximum performance use C++, but it's harder
anyway the main thing is your alpha (your strategy) to work on, I'm telling you in advance that neural network/deep learning don't work because they always search for recurring pattern in the wrong way:
es identifying dogs vs wolf from images. Turns out every image with wolfs is with snow in the picture, algorithm will say wolf for every canine on a snow field.
Why the fuck are you keking at that you normie cretin. Keep your noob opinions to yourself, the big boys are talking.
Use freqtrade, better than gekko. Their slack is nice and it's python3.
Ugh that is my main concern but with my current skill level I can't even inspect the code and distinguish if a bot is trustworthy or not.
but all right I will start researching x86 assembly and Haskell. Any recommendation of where to start?
I heard Khan academy or even youtube provides good tutorials but if you can provide some specific author or website that would be good. Thanks user
based input. slight derail and maybe I'm asking the wrong person, but as someone interested in AI (like actually making shit), is getting gud at ML sort of a prerequisite? it seems rather dull.
These guys are right on the money. You will probably need to write your own OS from scratch or else you will be at risk of a man in the middle attack as well since windows Mac and Linux weren't built to automate trading.
You should consider forking TempleOS, it's the best.
IMHO, it's like poker/blackjack/gambling card games variants
a professional has to know them all, even if specializes in one, as it's new ideas borrowed for other fields that do the difference
*from other fields
Python. Do it in a few weeks faggot.
yeah, that wouldn't be my goal. I would be happy to just automate some of my trades for now.
example 1:
If price = 10300 put a limit order to sell at 10290 AND rebuy at 10100 for example
Example 2:
If price = 10600 put a limit order to sell at 10600
AND rebuy at 10300
Example 3: two orders at the same time
Order 1:
If price = 10600 put a limit order to sell at 10600
AND rebuy at 10300.
order 2: rebuy at 10700 in case price does't go down after reaching 10600
This shouldn't require a deep level sofistication, should it?
you could do it in python within a day, there are libraries that already give you the interface to crypto exchanges, not gonna spoonfeed it, if you want to learn just search on github and look at other projects
No need to spoonfeed, thanks for the answer
I wrote a bot in two weeks, less than 20 hours of programming
Search for some tutorials and they'll explain how to use pandas and requests and such to do everything
kek 2 hours? that sounds amazing. will do
