release SockTrader v2 Open Source Cryptocurrency Trading Bot

[100%]

Overview

SockTrader is an open-source cryptocurrency trading bot that enables users to automate the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies based on a user-defined strategy. Your strategy consists of a set of rules that dictate when and how the bot should operate in the cryptocurrency market. These rules can be based on technical analysis or simply specify particular price levels at which the bot should execute trades. The flexibility of SockTrader allows you to determine the rules of engagement fully!

The name "SockTrader" is derived from its use of websocket technology for trading, which facilitates a real-time connection to the exchange. This connection allows the bot to react swiftly to changes in the market with minimal latency.
