Live Training #4 – Crypto Trading Bots

Description

When you trade crypto-currencies, emotions are your biggest enemy.

You can try to convince yourself that you are a perfectly rational person.

But when the market is volatile, like everybody, you are likely to feel fear, or greed, and take bad decisions.

With a trading bot, you can write some code that will execute a specific trading strategy, WITHOUT your emotions getting in the way.

In this live training, we are going to code a trading bot for crypto, using NodeJS.
