algorithm-trading ( DOCUMENTATION IS INCOMPLETE, TAKE A LOOK AT THE EXAMPLES )

This repository contains algorithm trading programs ( AKA trading strategies, trading bot ) which are compatible with all exchanges running the blinktrade platform. Those algorithms are executed in the users browser context and not in the servers.

Pre-requisites to create your own algorithm trading

Basic knowledge of JavaScript
Curiosity

Is there a test environment to test my algorithms?

Yes, blinktrade tesnet exchange

How does it work

The exchange expects you to create a javascript class that implements the following interface
