oandapybot

============

Simple python bot for trading forex on oanda.com

It can only trade one instrument

Build on top of https://github.com/happydasch/btoandav20

This is only a sample for your robot with simple sample strategy. You NEED to implement better logic, otherwise you WILL loose money.

I have my own strategies that I run this bot with, you need to implement your own logic in strategy.py.

Currently there is a sample moving average cross over as an example.
