Continue to make code updates most recent update setting a no buy order if short position is less than 100.
FTT is newest code change. We are now shorting it with an algo that uses random order entry prices on the sell and buy side, but has a biased towards sending sell orders based on random integer selection.
Binance will probably go bust like all the other crypto firms, so this algo sells BNB coin every minute or so depending on live code deployments, and randomly sends a BUY order to reduce the position by a small amount.
The amazing thing about bitcoin is you can buy, send it to an exchange, and then bet against terrible coins with it, then convert back to bitcoin.
I for sure respect the technology of bitcoin, I think there is a fixed supply ever to be generated, and that any of these other protocols that have unlimited qty generation are a dangerous and unstable premise from the onset. For example, any coin that will generate somehow every year for the next five years variable coins into supply, it is a protocol that has major exposures that cannot easily be interpreted or have high capacity for rapid valuation adjustments. Protocols that have fixed supply figures experience enough volatility on their own, let alone do they need volatility for unpredictable quantities of supply. When we hear exchanges talk about collateral, I start to get hesitant almost. Why would we want to take any exchanges word on value of crypto tokens when the majority of these tokens have protocols that have supply figures that are unpredictable, and often have no underlying value at all, yet are marked as multi million dollar valuations?
This is essentially why I have taken the short approach on Binance coin. This is not trading advice, it is simply testing of a php and REST based algo running on top of an exchange that I have no idea about their exposure to any of these volatile coins, but I spent hours writing the code so it may as well be tested in an empirical and documented for educational purposes to anyone interested in writing algo based trading systems. In general, it is very difficult and requires extreme precision on risk management, which is a skill that is most difficult to accumulate as it requires razor thin focus on entry and exit points, on a consistently applied set of data. Any ignorance of risk can destroy value instantly, especially even more dangerous when using margin. It has been extremely difficult, and this is educational for the public, and also myself should I need to review how a system had performed in certain conditions.
