The Problem
Everybody wants a trading bot.
As adoption of blockchain technology grows, so does the underlying cryptocurrency market fueled by speculative investment. Many former Wall Street professionals, some with backgrounds working at hedge funds or quantitative trading shops, have embraced cryptocurrency trading. As is the case in traditional equity markets, the most successful cryptocurrency traders are becoming increasingly reliant on automated trading systems—or more-commonly referred to as "trading bots"—which execute trades according to algorithms.
Very few people can actually build one.
While the existence of algorithmic trading in cryptocurrency markets has been far from secret, what remains shrouded in mystery is how exactly such algorithms work, and perhaps more elusive, is how exactly they are engineered. Developers of successful trading algorithms are notoriously reluctant to share their work, if at all. Those that do make their work available do so at a steep price; and potential users are wary to the glaring shortcomings such as reliance on a single point of contact for ongoing development, lack of control over algorithm parameters, risk management, and unclear profitability.
